Quick tips
- Nicoclin 4% Gel is prescribed for the treatment of acne.
- Before you apply Nicoclin 4% Gel, wash the area with any medicated facewash and water and gently dry it with a towel.
- Apply Nicoclin 4% Gel 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.
- It is recommended that you use Nicoclin 4% Gel twice daily. If your skin becomes irritated or dry, you can reduce the number of times you use it to once daily, or even to alternate days only. Better consult your doctor in such a case.
- 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.
- Continue with the treatment as long as prescribed by your doctor. The most common reason for treatment failure is giving up too soon, thinking that the treatment is not working. If, however, your skin has not improved even after completing the prescribed time, consult your doctor.
