Veltin (Clindamycin Phosphate and Tretinoin)

 

Veltin (Clindamycin Phosphate and Tretinoin)

Veltin Gel combines two powerful acne-fighting ingredients: Clindamycin Phosphate, an antibiotic that helps reduce bacteria and inflammation, and Tretinoin, a form of Vitamin A that promotes skin cell turnover and prevents clogged pores. Together, they target both the causes and visible signs of acne, helping to clear existing breakouts while preventing new ones from forming. This prescription gel is designed for once-daily topical use, offering a convenient and effective solution for moderate to severe acne.
