Acnelak CLZ Cream
Acnelak CLZ Cream 15 gm belongs to the group of medicines known as ‘anti-acne’ used to treat acne (pimples) and kill bacteria, causing acne. Acne is a common skin condition and occurs when hair follicles are blocked with dead skin cells and oil. The acne-causing bacteria feeds on sebum (natural oil produced by skin) causing redness and swelling.
Acnelak CLZ Cream 15 gm is a combination of two drugs: Clindamycin (antibiotic) and Zinc acetate. Clindamycin belongs to the class of antibiotics that inhibits the production of essential proteins that are necessary for bacteria to grow, multiply and increase in numbers. Thereby, stops or slows down the growth of bacteria and clears acne. Additionally, Zinc oxide has the ability to protect healthy cells from harmful toxins, so in combination with Clindamycin, it helps to clear acne.
