About Clear ON Xtra Gel

Clear ON Xtra Gel is a topical gel primarily prescribed for the treatment of mild to moderate acne. It works by targeting the bacteria that cause acne breakouts and reducing the redness and swelling associated with inflamed pimples. This combination medication helps clear existing acne lesions while actively preventing new blemishes from forming on your skin.

To achieve the best results, Clear ON Xtra Gel must be applied consistently at the same times every day as directed by your healthcare provider. Typically, a thin layer is applied to the clean, dry affected areas once or twice daily. Along with using this topical gel, maintaining a gentle skincare routine and avoiding squeezing or popping pimples can significantly improve your skin's recovery.

While using Clear ON Xtra Gel, you may experience mild local skin reactions such as dryness, peeling, or a burning sensation. These effects are usually temporary as your skin adjusts, but you should consult your doctor immediately if you experience severe skin irritation, hives, or persistent watery diarrhea.

Before using Clear ON Xtra Gel, tell your doctor if you have a history of inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. Do not use this medication if you have a known allergy to any of its components or similar topical preparations. Your doctor will help determine if this treatment is safe and appropriate for your specific skin condition.

Avoid using other drying skin products, abrasive soaps, or peeling agents at the same time as this medication, as they can worsen skin irritation. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, you should consult your healthcare provider before applying Clear ON Xtra Gel to ensure it is safe for you and your baby.

Side effects of Clear ON Xtra Gel 20 gm
  • Burning sensation is an abnormal side effect that needs medical attention. To relieve the burning feeling, your doctor may prescribe painkillers or antidepressants.
  • Focused exercises can improve strength and reduce burning by soothing muscles.
  • Change in lifestyle and improving nutrition can reduce the causes of burning sensation and provide relief.
  • Your doctor may suggest nerve block injections as it is related to sensation in the skin.
  • Burning feeling in a specific area would need mild electrical currents to reduce pain that targets the nerve affected. This practice must be done only if your doctor mentions it.
  • Avoid hot or cold temperatures, and shower with lukewarm water.
  • Apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every day, even in winter.
  • Limit spicy foods and other foods that can cause redness.
  • Limit alcohol consumption, especially red wine.
  • Avoid clothing made from wool and other irritating fabrics.
  • Don't exfoliate too much, and use gentle scrubs.
  • Avoid products with menthol, camphor, or sodium lauryl sulfate.
  • Identify and avoid allergens that can cause allergic reactions.
  • Use a gentle, non-drying cleanser and moisturizer that are suitable for your skin type.
  • Skin rash caused by allergies is due to irritants or allergens. Therefore, avoid contact with such irritants.
  • Consult your doctor for proper medication and apply an anti-itch medication. Follow the schedule and use the medication whenever needed.
  • Protect your skin from extreme heat and try to apply wet compresses.
  • Soak in the cool bath, which gives a soothing impact to the affected area.

Directions for Use

Always use Clear ON Xtra Gel exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow these simple steps for safe and effective application:

  • Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before applying the gel.
  • Gently clean the affected skin area with a mild, non-abrasive cleanser and pat it dry with a clean towel.
  • Apply a thin layer of Clear ON Xtra Gel to the entire affected area, not just the individual pimples, and rub it in gently.
  • Avoid applying the gel to sensitive areas, such as your eyes, lips, inside your nose, or on broken or cut skin.
  • Wash your hands immediately after application to prevent accidentally spreading the medicine to other areas.

Your doctor will determine how long you should continue using this medication based on your skin's response. Do not stop using it early, even if your skin begins to clear up, unless advised by your healthcare provider.

How Clear ON Xtra Gel Works

Clear ON Xtra Gel contains clindamycin and nicotinamide, which work together to treat acne by reducing bacteria, controlling excess oil production, and calming skin inflammation. Clindamycin is a topical antibiotic that targets the bacteria commonly associated with acne. It works by preventing these bacteria from producing the proteins they need to grow and multiply, which helps reduce bacterial growth on the skin and lowers the risk of acne breakouts. Nicotinamide, also known as niacinamide, is a form of vitamin B3 that helps reduce inflammation and soothe irritated skin. It also helps decrease excess sebum (oil) production, which can clog pores and contribute to acne formation. In addition, nicotinamide supports the skin's natural barrier and may help improve the appearance of post-acne marks and dark spots. Together, these ingredients help clear existing acne, reduce redness and swelling, prevent new breakouts, and promote healthier-looking skin.

  • Choose Non-Comedogenic Products: Choose skincare products, cosmetics, and sunscreens that are labelled 'non-comedogenic', meaning they are formulated not to clog pores.
  • Avoid Touching or Picking Your Skin: Keep your hands away from your face to prevent transferring dirt and additional bacteria to your skin, and never squeeze or pop pimples.
  • Maintain a Balanced Diet: Maintain a balanced diet rich in whole foods, and consider tracking if high-glycaemic foods or dairy products trigger your acne breakouts.
  • Keep Personal Items Clean: Wash your pillowcases and makeup brushes regularly to prevent the buildup of oils and acne-causing bacteria.
     

Health Queries

How can I get rid of a pimple on my face?

Y. Lakshmi Thulasi

Y. Lakshmi Thulasi

Pharm-D (Post baccalaureate)

Excess oil, clogged pores, bacteria, hormonal fluctuations, stress, perspiration, or poor skin care are the main causes of pimples. Avoid touching or squeezing pimples, wash your face gently twice a day with a gentle face wash, keep your hair and pillowcases clean, and stay away from thick, greasy lotions and cosmetics to minimise pimples. Some people may also benefit from eating a balanced diet, staying hydrated, getting adequate sleep, and cutting out on junk food. Creams with chemicals like salicylic acid, adapalene, or benzoyl peroxide generally help mild acne, but they should be used carefully as they might irritate delicate skin. See a dermatologist if your pimples are uncomfortable, leaving scars, spreading, or not getting better because you could need more aggressive therapy or a hormonal cause assessment.

This helps treat existing acne and prevents new pimples from forming. Talk to your doctor if you are unsure how to apply it.

If you develop severe diarrhea or stomach cramps, stop using the medication and contact your doctor immediately.

This medication can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight and UV rays, increasing the risk of sunburn. You should protect your skin by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and wearing protective clothing or hats when outdoors. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about choosing a suitable sunscreen.

Clear ON Xtra Gel is typically applied once or twice a day to the clean, dry affected areas. However, your exact schedule will depend on your doctor's specific prescription instructions. Never apply more than directed or use it more frequently than advised. Talk to your doctor for guidance.
