Inzdeaxiatar Gel

Inzdeaxiatar Gel is a tailored medication prescribed by dermatologists across the nation to address acne by reducing bacteria, decreasing inflammation, and strengthening the skin barrier. By combining four active ingredients into one topical gel, this formulation epitomizes SKNV’s dedication to creating a clinical difference for each patient, as determined by the prescriber.

Inzdeaxiatar Gel presents a unique combination of four active ingredients commonly used to treat acne symptoms. These active ingredients include:

• Benzoyl peroxide is a topical antiseptic that aims to reduce the bacteria on the skin. It is often prescribed to treat mild to moderate acne, aiming to dry the skin and eliminate pimples.

  • This particular gel contains benzoyl peroxide at a potency of 2.5%.

• Clindamycin is an antibiotic that aims to stop the growth of acne-causing bacteria, thereby preventing or minimizing acne symptoms. It is often prescribed to treat types of bacterial infections, which could include treating acne-affected areas.

  • This particular gel contains clindamycin at a potency of 1%.

• Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 commonly employed to reduce inflammation, which is a key characteristic of acne. It works to minimize redness, even out skin tone, and regulate the skin’s oil production. Niacinamide is often used to treat acne, eczema, skin discoloration, and more.

  • This particular gel contains niacinamide at a potency of 2%.

• Tretinoin, a derivative of vitamin A, is commonly used to promote cell turnover and prevent the clogging of hair follicles. Tretinoin works to mitigate the formation of acne and accelerate the healing process of existing blemishes. Tretinoin is often used to treat acne, reduce fine wrinkles, and as a skin-lightening agent to address hyperpigmentation.

  • This particular gel contains tretinoin at a potency of 0.025%.

The combination of these four topical ingredients is one factor that makes Inzdeaxiatar Gel clinically different from branded or generic medications.

In fact, benzoyl peroxide, clindamycin, and tretinoin are three ingredients a patient with severe acne must try before going on oral medications for acne, so Inzdeaxiatar Gel can serve as a step-edit for other treatments for more severe symptoms.

This formulation is also different from over-the-counter medications because SKNV’s Inzdeaxiatar Gel is formulated without certain inactive ingredients that could be potential allergens or irritants for certain patients, as determined by the patient’s prescriber, including silicon dioxide, propylene glycol, docusate sodium, methylparaben, trolamine, alcohol, and isopropyl myristate.

It is imperative that patients apply Inzdeaxiatar Gel as directed by their provider. This formulation is designed for external use only and should be stored in a cool, dry, and dark place.

Generally, as a customized topical prescription, prescribers recommend applying a thin layer of medication on a clean, dry area of the affected skin.

The number and timing of the dose varies based on each patient, their age, and their acne, but it usually involves application once or twice a day. It is best practice to maintain a regular dosing schedule for optimal results with your prescription. If you realize that you missed a dose and you are close to applying the gel again, skip the missed dose and apply the gel as normal. Do not apply extra layers to make up for the missed dose.

Wash your hands before and directly after application of this gel. A dermatologist may also advise that a patient wash their face before using the gel. Avoid the eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes. Do not apply this medication to a sunburn, blister, or open wound.

Tell your doctor immediately if you experience an allergic reaction or if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using your prescription. Applying tretinoin, benzoyl peroxide, and/or clindamycin might lead to mild skin redness, irritation, itchiness, dryness, or increased risk of sunburns. You may need to add a moisturizer to your skincare routine to counteract skin dryness and prevent peeling. It is also often recommended to avoid exposure to the sun and UV rays by implementing sunscreen for regular use, wearing protective clothing, and straying away from using tanning beds and sunlamps.

In order to prevent potential drug interactions, patients should inform their provider of any other acne product, medicine (prescription or nonprescription drug), supplement, or skincare product they are using at the same time as Inzdeaxiatar Gel. Providers should note possible interactions with other topical acne treatments (e.g., other retinoids) or oral antibiotics. It is essential to follow your prescriber’s exact recommendations regarding Inzdeaxiatar Gel use.
