Nioclean Gel
Nioclean Gel is a prescription-only topical medication containing Clindamycin (an antibiotic) and Nicotinamide (a form of Vitamin B3). Clindamycin targets and inhibits the growth of Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria responsible for acne flare-ups. Nicotinamide provides potent anti-inflammatory effects, helping to soothe irritated skin, reduce redness, and regulate sebum production.
