Vitacid acne is a topical gel used to treat mild to moderate acne vulgaris, also helping to reduce blackheads on the skin, due to the combination of clindamycin, an antibiotic and tretinoin , a retinoid that regulates growth and differentiation of skin epithelial cells.
This gel is produced by the Theraskin laboratory in tubes of 25 grams and is sold in conventional pharmacies, only under the prescription of the dermatologist, for a price that can vary between 50 and 70 reais, according to the place of purchase.
