Antibiotic Acne Lotion - Important Information

What is Antibiotic Acne Lotion and what is it used for?

Antibiotic Acne Lotion is a medicine used to treat bacterial infections. Antibiotic Acne Lotion is mainly used in the treatment of acne vulgaris and is available in a 50ml bottle. The lotion itself is a white to off-white emulsion.

How does Antibiotic Acne Lotion work?

Antibiotic Acne Lotion works by inhibiting acne-causing bacteria from producing proteins that are essential to them. Without these proteins, the bacteria are unable to replicate and increase in numbers. After treating the affected skin topically, any remaining bacteria will eventually die out or be destroyed by the body’s natural immune system.

The bacteria associated with causing acne is called Propionibacterium. This is a very common type of bacteria that can be found naturally on a person’s skin. Propionibacterium feeds on sebum, which is natural oil produced by the sebaceous glands. When propionibacterium feeds on sebum it produces waste products and fatty acids. These waste products can irritate the sebaceous glands, causing them to become inflamed. This inflammation can cause spots to appear. For more information on the Cause of Acne and How to Prevent It please read our helpful guide.

Do not squeeze your spots or try to ‘dig out’ blackheads. It can make your acne worse and even cause permanent scarring.
