Dalacin T Topical Lotion 30ml 1% contains Clindamycin Phosphate 1%, a topical antibiotic used to treat acne vulgaris (pimples) by reducing acne-causing bacteria and inflammation. It is commonly prescribed for mild to moderate inflammatory acne and helps reduce the appearance of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads while preventing new breakouts.

Dalacin T works directly on the skin by inhibiting the growth of Cutibacterium acnes (formerly Propionibacterium acnes), the bacteria responsible for acne. Regular use, as directed by a healthcare professional, helps improve skin clarity with minimal systemic absorption, making it an effective treatment for acne-prone skin.
