About Seborid Gel 20 gm
Seborid Gel 20 gm belongs to the class of drugs known as retinoids (synthetic or man-made vitamin A). Seborid Gel 20 gm is primarily used to treat acne (pimples) and sun-damaged skin. Acne is a skin condition that is common and occurs when hair follicles are blocked with dead skin cells and oil.
Seborid Gel 20 gm contains tretinoin, also known as retinoic acid (a form of vitamin A) that loosens and unblocks pores on the skin’s surface by reducing the oil secretion in the skin. This prevents the formation of pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads.
