Benefits of Capgel Plus Gel
In Acne
Capgel Plus Gel treats acne, commonly called pimples. It kills the acne-causing bacteria and prevents spots or pimples from appearing. It usually takes a few weeks to have a noticeable effect so keep using it even if it appears not to be working. Sometimes acne may get worse before it gets better, however, with proper use, your skin will get clearer. The earlier you start using it, the less likely you are to get scars. This medicine will help improve your mood and uplift your confidence as your skin becomes acne free. It should not be used if you have eczema or sunburned skin.

How Capgel Plus Gel works
Capgel Plus Gel is a combination of three medicines. Adapalene is a form of vitamin A that treats acne (pimples). It works by preventing the accumulation of the sebum (skin’s natural oil) which unblocks the pores and allows natural exfoliation of the outer layers of skin. Clindamycin is an antibiotic. It works by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Thus, it stops the bacteria from growing and prevents the infection from spreading. Zinc acetate has an antioxidant activity that protects the cells from toxins. This is how it works against acne.

Quick tips
- Capgel Plus Gel is used for the treatment of acne.
- Before you apply this medicine, wash the area with any medicated facewash and water and gently dry it with a towel.
- Apply it to all of the areas where your acne is present and not just to each acne.
- Try to avoid getting it on the sensitive areas of your skin in or around your nostrils, your eyes, and your mouth.
- Capgel Plus Gel may make your skin more sensitive to sunlight than usual. Therefore, it is best to apply it at night and wash it off in the morning. A sun protection cream can also help if you are out in the sun or even if it is cloudy outside.
- If your skin becomes very dry, using a moisturizing cream (preferably a fragrance-free and water-based cream) might help. Do not use ointments or oil-rich creams, as these could clog your pores again.
- The most common reason for treatment failure is giving up too soon, thinking that the treatment is not working. Continue using it as prescribed.
- If, however, your skin has not improved even after completing the prescribed time, consult your doctor.
