Zindaclin 1% Gel FAQs
What causes acne?
Acne develops when hormonal changes trigger an increase in oil (sebum) production. A type of bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes feeds on this excess oil, leading to clogged pores, inflammation, and breakouts. Acne is most common on the face, back, and chest.
While some cases clear up naturally, acne can be persistent and impact confidence. Zindaclin 1% Gel is an effective treatment that reduces inflammation, prevents new breakouts, and helps clear existing spots.
How does Zindaclin work?
