BenzaClin Gel contains two active ingredients: clindamycin phosphate and benzoyl peroxide. It is a prescription topical medication used to treat inflammatory acne vulgaris.
BenzaClin Gel is used to treat acne that causes red, swollen, or pus-filled pimples.
Acne develops when pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. These clogged pores can become inflamed and form:
BenzaClin helps treat acne by reducing acne-causing bacteria, decreasing inflammation, and helping keep pores clear.
BenzaClin combines two medications that work in different ways.
Clindamycin
Clindamycin is a topical antibiotic.
It works by blocking the production of proteins that certain bacteria need to grow. This helps reduce the amount of Cutibacterium acnes on the skin. This bacterium was previously called Propionibacterium acnes.
By reducing acne-causing bacteria, clindamycin can help decrease redness, swelling, and inflammation.
Benzoyl Peroxide
Benzoyl peroxide has antibacterial and mild keratolytic effects.
It helps kill acne-causing bacteria on the skin and helps loosen and remove dead skin cells that can block pores.
Benzoyl peroxide may also help reduce excess oil on the skin, although its main actions are antibacterial and pore-clearing.
An important benefit of benzoyl peroxide is that it can help reduce the risk of bacteria becoming resistant to clindamycin.
Combined Effect
Clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide work together to treat several causes of inflammatory acne.
The combination may help:
Using both ingredients together may be more effective than using either medication alone for some people.
BenzaClin helps control acne, but it does not permanently cure it.
Acne may return after treatment is stopped, especially if the underlying causes of breakouts continue.
BenzaClin is also not intended to treat skin infections, eczema, rosacea, or other skin conditions unless specifically prescribed by a healthcare provider.
BenzaClin does not usually clear acne immediately.
Some improvement may be noticed within the first few weeks, but it can take several weeks of regular use to see the full benefit.
During the first part of treatment, you may experience mild:
These effects often improve as the skin adjusts.
Use BenzaClin exactly as prescribed and avoid applying more than recommended. Using extra gel will not clear acne faster and may cause more irritation.
Contact your healthcare provider if your acne becomes worse, does not improve after several weeks, or if you develop severe redness, swelling, blistering, or skin irritation.
BenzaClin Gel is applied directly to acne-affected skin. Use it exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
The usual schedule is a thin layer applied twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening. However, your healthcare provider may adjust the frequency depending on how severe your acne is, how sensitive your skin is, and how well you tolerate the treatment.
Wash your hands before using the medication.
Gently clean the affected skin with a mild cleanser and warm water. Avoid harsh scrubs, exfoliating brushes, or strongly fragranced products because these may increase irritation.
Pat the skin dry with a clean towel. Do not rub the skin aggressively.
Apply a small amount of BenzaClin in a thin, even layer over the entire acne-affected area.
Do not apply the gel only to individual pimples. Acne treatments generally work best when they are spread over the full area where breakouts occur.
Rub the gel in gently until it is evenly distributed. Wash your hands after application unless your hands are the area being treated.
Use only enough gel to lightly cover the affected skin.
Applying a thick layer will not make BenzaClin work faster. It may increase the risk of:
If your skin becomes very irritated, contact your healthcare provider before changing how often you use the medication.
BenzaClin is for external use on the skin only.
Do not apply it to:
If the gel accidentally gets into your eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse the area thoroughly with water.
Some acne and skincare products can increase dryness or irritation when used with BenzaClin.
Use caution with:
Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist before adding new acne products to your routine.
A gentle cleanser and non-comedogenic moisturizer may help reduce dryness during treatment.
Benzoyl peroxide may make the skin more sensitive or irritated after sun exposure.
Limit unnecessary sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen when outdoors. Protective clothing and shade may also help.
Avoid tanning beds and sunlamps.
Do not apply BenzaClin to sunburned skin until the area has healed.
Benzoyl peroxide can bleach hair and colored fabrics.
Allow the gel to dry completely before your skin touches clothing, towels, pillowcases, or bedding. Use caution around eyebrows, facial hair, and the hairline.
BenzaClin does not clear acne immediately.
Some people may notice improvement within a few weeks, but it may take several weeks of consistent treatment before a clear difference is seen.
Continue using the medication as prescribed unless your healthcare provider tells you to stop.
Do not use extra gel if improvement seems slow.
Apply the missed dose when you remember.
However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled application, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.
Do not apply extra gel to make up for a missed dose.
Mild dryness, peeling, redness, burning, or stinging may occur when treatment begins.
If irritation is severe, painful, or does not improve, contact your healthcare provider. Your treatment schedule may need to be adjusted.
Stop using BenzaClin and seek medical advice if you develop significant swelling, blistering, severe redness, or signs of an allergic reaction.
Use BenzaClin consistently and only as prescribed.
Do not apply more than recommended or use it more often in an attempt to clear acne faster.
Contact your healthcare provider if:
Benzaclin Gel (Clindamycin Phosphate/Benzoyl Peroxide) is available in the following forms and strength:
Do not use BenzaClin Gel if you are allergic to clindamycin, benzoyl peroxide, or any other ingredient in the product.
Stop using the medication and seek medical attention if you develop:
BenzaClin Gel may cause redness, dryness, peeling, itching, burning, or stinging, especially when treatment first begins.
Mild irritation may improve as your skin adjusts. Contact your healthcare provider if irritation becomes severe, painful, or does not improve.
People with sensitive skin may be more likely to experience irritation.
Benzoyl peroxide may make treated skin more sensitive to sunlight.
Limit unnecessary sun exposure and avoid tanning beds or sunlamps. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen when outdoors.
Do not apply BenzaClin to sunburned skin until the area has healed.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Your healthcare provider will consider the possible benefits and risks before recommending BenzaClin during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
If the medication is used while breastfeeding, avoid applying it to areas where the baby could come into direct contact with the treated skin.
Some skin products can increase irritation when used with BenzaClin.
Use caution with:
Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist before combining BenzaClin with other acne treatments.
Clindamycin is an antibiotic. Using topical antibiotics for longer than necessary may encourage bacteria to become resistant.
Use BenzaClin only for the length of time prescribed. Contact your healthcare provider if your acne does not improve or becomes worse.
Clindamycin can rarely cause antibiotic-associated colitis, which is inflammation of the colon. Although BenzaClin is applied to the skin, a small amount of clindamycin can still be absorbed into the body.
Stop using BenzaClin and contact your healthcare provider immediately if you develop:
Tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of inflammatory bowel disease or antibiotic-associated colitis before using BenzaClin.
BenzaClin Gel is usually applied twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening. Apply a thin layer to the entire acne-affected area, not just individual pimples. Follow the exact instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
Talk to your healthcare provider before using BenzaClin if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Your healthcare provider will consider the possible benefits and risks before recommending treatment. If you are breastfeeding, avoid applying BenzaClin to the breast or any area where the baby could come into direct contact with the medication.
Some acne treatments and skincare products may increase dryness, redness, peeling, or irritation when used with BenzaClin. Use caution with topical retinoids, other acne medications, exfoliating acids, astringents, alcohol-based products, and abrasive cleansers or scrubs. Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist before combining BenzaClin with other medicated skincare products. A mild cleanser, non-comedogenic moisturizer, and sunscreen may help reduce irritation during treatment.
