Topical acne treatments Galderma

Efracea

Efracea contains doxycycline, an antibacterial that has been shown to inhibit neutrophil activity and several pro-inflammatory reactions, including those associated with phospholipase A2, endogenous nitric oxide and interleukin-6. It works by altering the pathophysiology of the inflammatory lesions of rosacea that is, in part, a manifestation of a neutrophil-mediated process. The OD 40mg modified release is designed to stay below the antimicrobial threshold to reduce commonly occurring side effects, while retaining an anti-inflammatory action

Indications

For the reduction of papulopustular lesions in adult patients with facial rosacea

Treclin

Treclin

Gel combination therapy of clindamycin and tretinoin. Clindamycin is a semisynthetic derivative of the parent compound lincomycin that is produced by Streptomyces lincolnensis and is predominantly bacteriostatic. Topical tretinoin has both comedolytic and anti-inflammatory effects. Tretinoin decreases cohesiveness of follicular epithelial cells resulting in decreased microcomedone formation. Additionally, tretinoin stimulates mitotic activity and increased turnover of follicular epithelial cells, causing extrusion of the comedones.
