Supatret C Aqueous Gel (Clindamycin + Tretinoin) – Dual Action Acne Treatment

Supatret C Aqueous Gel is a powerful combination therapy that merges the antibacterial action of clindamycin with the skin-renewing benefits of tretinoin. This advanced aqueous gel formulation targets acne at multiple levels – eliminating acne-causing bacteria while normalizing skin cell turnover. The unique water-based delivery system enhances absorption while minimizing irritation, making it suitable for various skin types. Dermatologists recommend this dual-action treatment for inflammatory acne, blackheads, and post-acne marks. Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin at bedtime, gradually increasing frequency as tolerated. Visible improvements typically appear within 4-6 weeks, with optimal results after 12 weeks of consistent use.

How Supatret C Aqueous Gel Works?

This innovative combination pairs clindamycin (1% antibiotic) with tretinoin (0.025% retinoid). Clindamycin penetrates pores to kill acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation, while tretinoin accelerates skin cell turnover, prevents pore clogging, and stimulates collagen production. The aqueous gel base enhances delivery of both active ingredients while minimizing irritation.
