Cleocin Gel contains the active ingredient clindamycin phosphate. It is a prescription topical antibiotic used to treat acne vulgaris.

Acne Vulgaris

Cleocin Gel helps reduce acne breakouts, including inflamed pimples and other acne lesions.

It may help:

  • Reduce the number of pimples
  • Decrease redness and swelling
  • Control acne-causing bacteria on the skin

How Cleocin Gel Works

Cleocin Gel belongs to a group of antibiotics called lincosamides.

It works by stopping certain bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow.

By reducing acne-causing bacteria, Cleocin Gel can also help lower inflammation and improve the appearance of acne over time.

What to Expect During Treatment

Acne usually does not improve overnight.

You may need to use Cleocin Gel regularly for several weeks before you notice a clear improvement.

Continue using it exactly as prescribed, even if your acne does not improve right away.

Contact your healthcare provider if your acne becomes worse, does not improve, or you develop severe skin irritation.

Important Note

Cleocin Gel is for use on the skin only.

Avoid getting it in your eyes, mouth, nose, or other sensitive areas. Use it exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

Use Cleocin Gel exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

It is for use on the skin only.

Apply a thin layer to the acne-affected area once or twice daily, depending on your prescribed schedule.

Before Applying the Gel

Wash your hands.

Gently wash the affected skin with a mild cleanser and water, then pat the area dry.

Avoid harsh scrubbing because it can irritate the skin.

How to Apply Cleocin Gel

Apply a thin layer over the entire acne-affected area, not just individual pimples.

Avoid getting the gel in your:

  • Eyes
  • Nose
  • Mouth
  • Other sensitive areas

Wash your hands after applying the medication.

Use It Regularly

Use Cleocin Gel at about the same time each day.

Do not apply more than prescribed. Using extra gel will not make acne clear faster and may increase irritation.

What to Do If You Miss an Application

Apply the missed dose when you remember.

If it is almost time for your next application, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.

Do not apply extra gel to make up for a missed dose.

Complete the Prescribed Treatment

Use Cleocin Gel for as long as your healthcare provider recommends.

Do not continue using it longer than prescribed. Unnecessary antibiotic use can increase the risk of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Storage

Store Cleocin Gel at room temperature, generally between 20°C and 25°C (68°F to 77°F).

Keep it away from excessive heat and out of the reach of children.

Avoid applying the gel to broken, sunburned, or severely irritated skin unless directed.

Other Acne Products

Tell your healthcare provider about all other acne treatments or skin products you use.

Using several drying or irritating products at the same time may increase redness, peeling, or discomfort.

Use other medicated skin products only as directed.

Pregnancy

Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

Your healthcare provider can decide whether Cleocin Gel is appropriate during pregnancy.

Breastfeeding

Tell your healthcare provider if you are breastfeeding.

Avoid applying Cleocin Gel directly to the breast or nipple where a nursing infant could come into contact with it.

Liver Problems

Only a small amount of clindamycin is usually absorbed from topical use.

However, tell your healthcare provider if you have severe liver disease or another serious medical condition.

Use in Children

The safety and effectiveness of topical clindamycin have not been fully established in children under 12 years of age.

Use Cleocin Gel in children only when prescribed by a healthcare provider.

Avoid Unnecessary Long-Term Use

Use Cleocin Gel only for the length of time prescribed.

Using antibiotics longer than needed can increase the risk of bacterial resistance and may make the medication less effective.

Can Cleocin Gel make my skin more sensitive to the sun?

Cleocin Gel does not usually cause significant sun sensitivity. However, acne treatments can sometimes leave the skin dry or irritated, which may make sun exposure feel more uncomfortable. Use sunscreen and protective clothing as part of your normal skincare routine.

What should I do if I have an allergic reaction?

Stop using Cleocin Gel and seek medical attention if you develop signs of a serious allergic reaction. These may include hives, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, or trouble breathing.

How long does Cleocin Gel take to work?

Acne usually improves gradually. You may need to use Cleocin Gel regularly for several weeks before you notice a clear improvement. Continue using it exactly as prescribed and contact your healthcare provider if your acne gets worse or does not improve.

Can children use Cleocin Gel?

The safety and effectiveness of topical clindamycin have not been fully established in children under 12 years of age. Children and teenagers should use Cleocin Gel only when it has been prescribed by a healthcare provider.
