Aklief Cream 75g

About Aklief Cream

Aklief Cream is a prescription-only topical retinoid used to treat acne on the face and trunk in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older. It contains trifarotene 50 micrograms per gram, a fourth-generation retinoid that helps reduce blocked pores, blackheads, whiteheads, and inflammatory pimples.

Aklief works by regulating skin cell turnover and preventing pores from becoming clogged, reducing the number of acne lesions and improving skin texture. It is applied once daily to affected areas and is suitable for mild to moderate acne with comedones and inflammatory spots.

What is Aklief Cream Used For?

Aklief Cream is used for the treatment of acne vulgaris by reducing inflammation and preventing blocked pores. It targets both comedonal and inflammatory acne, helping to improve overall skin clarity and texture on the face, chest, shoulders, and back.

Who is Aklief Cream Suitable For?

Aklief is suitable for adults and adolescents aged 12 years and over who have acne on the face or trunk.

Do not use Aklief if you:

• Are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding
• Are allergic to trifarotene or any of the ingredients in the cream
• Have cuts, abrasions, eczema, or sunburned skin

Consult your doctor if you are breastfeeding. Do not apply the cream to the chest area during breastfeeding.
