Acsolve (1%) Gel

Acsolve (1%) Gel is a topical antibiotic formulation used to treat acne (pimples) and related skin infections. It contains Clindamycin Phosphate 1%, which works by inhibiting bacterial growth on the skin, reducing inflammation, and preventing the formation of new acne lesions.

It effectively targets acne-causing bacteria such as Propionibacterium acnes, clears blocked pores, and helps reduce redness, swelling, and breakouts, promoting smoother and clearer skin.
