Understanding Your Current Treatment and Side Effects

• Nioclean AD gel can cause irritation and dryness due to its active ingredients, clindamycin and adapalene.

Managing Irritation and Dryness

• Use a gentle moisturizer and avoid harsh cleansers.
• Apply the gel less frequently or in smaller amounts to improve tolerance.

Alternative Treatment Options

• Consider other acne treatments like topical antibiotics, benzoyl peroxide, or different retinoids.
• Oral medications may be an option if topical treatments are unsuitable.

When to Consult a Dermatologist

• Seek professional evaluation to tailor treatment based on your skin type and acne severity.
• Adjustments or additional therapies might be necessary.

General Skincare Recommendations

• Use non-comedogenic, gentle skincare products.
• Protect your skin from the sun, as adapalene can increase sensitivity.

Monitoring and Follow-up

• Monitor your skin's response and report any worsening symptoms.
• Follow-up visits are important to assess treatment effectiveness and side effects.
