Treclin Gel is a prescription topical treatment used for acne vulgaris, a condition affecting the skin’s hair follicles and oil glands. It is often considered when over-the-counter treatments have not been effective.
- Targets acne-causing bacteria
- Supports skin cell turnover
- Used in mild to moderate acne cases
Acne affects up to 95% of people aged 11 to 30 in the UK at some point, making effective treatment options important.
Treclin Gel contains two active ingredients that work in different ways:
- Clindamycin – an antibiotic that helps reduce bacteria on the skin
- Tretinoin – a retinoid that supports skin renewal and helps prevent blocked pores
Patient experiences with Treclin Gel vary, but many users report improvements in skin texture and reduction in acne over time when used consistently as prescribed.
- May support clearer-looking skin
- Often used as part of a wider skincare routine
- Requires regular application
The Patient Information Leaflet provides detailed guidance on using Treclin Gel safely. Always read the leaflet supplied with your medication for full instructions and information.
Treclin Gel works by combining antibacterial action with skin renewal support, helping reduce acne development and improve skin clarity.
- Clindamycin reduces acne-causing bacteria
- Tretinoin promotes skin cell turnover
- Helps prevent clogged pores
Treclin Gel is applied directly to the affected areas of the skin, usually in the evening, following your prescriber’s guidance.
- Clean and dry the skin
- Apply a thin layer to affected areas
- Avoid contact with eyes and lips
The dosage of Treclin Gel is determined by your prescriber based on your individual needs. Always follow the instructions provided with your prescription.
Some users may experience side effects when using Treclin Gel, particularly during the early stages of treatment.

Treclin Gel differs from other acne treatments by combining an antibiotic with a retinoid, offering a dual-action approach.
