What Is Acne?

Acne is a common skin condition that can have many forms. Generally, acne refers to acne vulgaris, which is the medical term for what you may call zits, pimples, or breakouts. Acne vulgaris is associated with bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes, or P. acnes.

Although people of all ages get acne, it may seem as though you have more than your fair share of it as you begin and go through puberty. That is because during puberty, a hormone called testosterone, in both males and females, increases and causes the body to produce more oil, called sebum. Sebum, together with dead skin cells, clogs pores, which causes acne.

Acne can appear on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders, and even upper arms.

BenzaClin® Topical Gel is indicated for the treatment of acne.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

BenzaClin® was studied in mild to moderate acne patients. BenzaClin® is an acne product you can get with a doctor's prescription. Side effects are usually limited to the skin and include dry skin, itching, peeling, redness and sunburn. Also, clindamycin, an ingredient in BenzaClin®, may cause diarrhea. If you experience severe diarrhea, stop using BenzaClin® and call your doctor immediately. You should not use BenzaClin® if you are allergic to clindamycin, benzoyl peroxide, or the antibiotic lincomycin, or if you have a history of colitis.
