Hi! While I am writing this, I got
three big acnes on my inner cheeks and done applying acne gel. This is a gel
for acne vulgaris named T3 Mycin Clindamycin Gel 1% and it is a fraternal twin
of T3 Clindamycin Lotion. The difference between these two products is
obviously its texture, one is lotion and the other is gel. But the way they react to treat acne is
totally different for me, because the gel seems mild compared to the lotion
although there is no change in the ingredients (maybe due to its formulation). I
haven’t use the T3 Clindamycin Lotion for a year because my acne is not
aggressive like years before, so I decided to switch with gel. For me, lotion has
a strong scent and irritates compared to gel.

treatment of acne vulgaris.

skin if exposed to sunlight.

I forgot the price~ haha
please check it on your own ^^
Opinion
The effectiveness is kinda slow
and took almost a week to see the difference. Sometimes, I am not aware of the
changes. But I am not telling this gel is not good, but it’s a worth to try to
kill all those bacteria. Since it is an antibiotic and controlled medicine
therefore it is only available in pharmacy.
Pros:
-kill acne bacteria in
mild way
-a good antibiotic for
acne
Cons:
-oily after application
-slow effectiveness
