FAQ

  • How long does Treclin gel take to work?

    Like many topically applied medicinal agents, Treclin gel takes a few weeks to work. It needs to be given time to build up on the skin.

    It's best to use Treclin gel for up to 10-12 weeks to see results.

    Keep using Treclin gel even after your acne shows signs of improving.

  • How do I use Treclin gel?

    Treclin gel should be applied once daily, preferably at bedtime, as the gel contains a retinoid which can increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight.

    Wash your face thoroughly with a mild soap and rinse clean with warm water.

    Pat your face dry using a towel. Apply a pea sized amount of Treclin gel onto one finger and dot it around your face: on your chin, cheeks, forehead and nose. Gently rub this thin layer into your skin.

    If you forget to use Treclin gel, don't double dose to make up for a missed application. Wait until the next scheduled application.

    Use the entire course of Treclin gel, don't stop using it just because you see improvements.

  • How long can you use Treclin for?

    Don't use Treclin gel for longer than 12 weeks without a further consultation with a doctor or pharmacist.

    This is because the bacteria on your skin can develop resistance to the antibiotic clindamycin.

    Please note, you may not see results immediately, and may have to wait for several weeks for improvements to become apparent.

  • Is Treclin gel a retinoid?

    Treclin gel contains the retinoid tretinoin. This retinoid helps to regulate the turnover rate of your skin cells, making it harder for acne to form as the pores are kept clear.

  • Why will my skin get worse before it gets better?

    Because Treclin gel contains the retinoid tretinoin, your skin can get worse before it gets better. This is because tretinoin increases the rate at which your body produces new cells.

    It causes the upper layer of your skin to slough off, taking the bacteria, sebum and dead skin cells with it.

    This period is often called skin purging or tretinoin purging.

    It can last up to 6 weeks, so don't be alarmed if your skin is looking worse than it did before. It will clear up.

  • When will I see an improvement in my acne?

    When using Treclin gel daily it can take between 4 - 12 weeks to see an improvement in your acne.

    For the best results use the gel daily and continue using Treclin even after you start to see an improvement.

  • What if I experience side effects from Treclin gel?

    If you experience side effects such as redness or skin irritation following application, you should stop using Treclin gel until the symptoms resolve.

  • Can Treclin gel be used in pregnancy?

     
    Treclin gel should not be used by women who are pregnant or are trying to become pregnant as it may harm your unborn baby.

  • Why do I need to protect my skin from sunlight?

    Treclin contains a retinoid which can make your skin more sensitive to light, leading to sunburn.

    It is recommended that you use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 if you are going to be exposed to strong sunlight, keeping your skin protected.

  • Can I use other acne treatments with Treclin gel?

    It is not recommended to use other acne treatments when using this medication.

  • Who shouldn't use treclin gel?

    Do not use Treclin gel if:

    • You are allergic to any of the active ingredients, or if you've had an allergic reaction to acne treatment before
    • You have acute eczema
    • You have rosacea
    • You have acute inflammatory skin conditions
    • You or a family member has or has ever had skin cancer
    • You have a history of antibiotic associated colitis, characterised by abdominal cramps

Side Effects

There are a few side effects associated with using Treclin gel.

Common side effects include, but aren't limited to:

  • dry skin
  • skin redness
  • skin burning sensation
  • increased sebum production
  • skin rash or scaling

Most people experience a stinging or skin burning sensation when applying the gel initially, but this subsides with time.

If the sensation doesn't abate, apply a thinner layer of gel.

Stop using Treclin gel and seek medical attention if you experience severe burning or peeling of the skin.

In the case of medical emergency, seek professional medical assistance or call 999.
