Freederm Gel For Mild to Moderate Acne Relief

A view from our expert

I highly recommend Freederm Gel for treating mild to moderate acne. It’s really effective at reducing redness and swelling, thanks to its active ingredient, nicotinamide. You’ll likely see great results in a few weeks, especially if you use it consistently twice a day on clean, dry skin. This gel is a fantastic option because it targets inflammation without the risks associated with antibiotics.

How to Buy Freederm Gel Online

Freederm Gel is an effective treatment for mild to moderate inflamed acne, including inflamed pimples and pus-filled spots. It is especially useful for facial, back, and chest acne. The active ingredient, nicotinamide, is related to Vitamin B3 and is a proven anti-inflammatory. This reduces redness and inflammation, as well as tenderness, in areas affected by acne.

You can buy Freederm Gel 25g online from our acne treatment clinic. Just complete a quick online consultation form, and our pharmacists will review it for suitability. Once approved, your medication will be delivered straight to your door, allowing you to start your treatment promptly.

How Freederm Gel Works

Freederm Gel is a cooling translucent gel which contains nicotinamide that visibly reduces the appearance of inflamed, red spots and pimples. Unlike antibiotics, nicotinamide reduces redness and spot size without the risk of bacterial resistance. It is clinically proven in treating inflamed pimples and spots, providing relief and aiding in the skin’s natural healing process.

How To Use Freederm Gel

If you have sensitive skin, it’s advisable to test the gel on a small area first and wait 24 hours before applying it to larger areas. This is particularly important if your skin is very sensitive or if you are using it on your face, as is common with any new treatment.

Freederm Gel should be applied to the skin twice daily, using the following steps:

Begin by thoroughly washing the affected and surrounding skin with warm water and patting it dry.
Apply a thin layer of Freederm Gel to the entire affected area, not just individual inflamed spots, and massage it gently into the skin.
Take care to keep it away from the eyes, nostrils, and mouth. If accidental contact occurs with the eyes and mucous membranes, rinse thoroughly with water.
Wash your hands thoroughly after applying the gel.

Consistency is key, so continue using the gel daily, even if you do not see immediate results, as noticeable improvement may take several weeks. If after 12 weeks there is no significant change, or if your condition worsens, consult your GP or pharmacist for further advice.

Who Can Use Freederm Gel?

Freederm Gel is suitable for adults, including the elderly. However, it should not be used if you:

Are allergic to nicotinamide or any other ingredients listed.
Have severe acne that requires different treatment.

Consult your GP, midwife or pharmacist if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or if you have any concerns.

Contact your doctor or pharmacist if you experience any side effects, including those not listed.

Important Product Information

Medicines should not be disposed of via wastewater or household waste. Ask a pharmacist how to dispose of unwanted medicine to help protect the environment.

Freederm Gel Alternatives

If Freederm Gel isn’t suitable for you, there are several other options to consider. Benzoyl peroxide products, such as Acnecide, are effective for reducing bacteria and unclogging pores. You can also get gels that combine benzoyl peroxide with other active ingredients, such as Benzoyl Peroxide and Clindamycin Gel or Duac Gel.

Freederm Gel FAQs

Improvement may be seen within a few weeks. However, the full benefits can take several weeks to become apparent, so if there is no immediate improvement, you should persevere with Freederm treatment gel and continue using as directed.

Apply it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not double the dose.

If you already use other spot or acne treatments, please mention this in your online consultation. We will need to ensure no interactions.

There are no specific restrictions on using Freederm Gel during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, as with any medication, it is wise to consult your GP or Midwife before use, particularly in the first three months of pregnancy.

If Freederm Gel accidentally gets into your eyes or mouth, rinse the area thoroughly with warm water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice from your GP or pharmacist.

If you have sensitive skin, test the gel on a small area first and wait 24 hours before applying it to larger areas. This precaution helps to ensure that your skin does not react adversely to the product.

Store Freederm Gel below 25°C and keep it out of the sight and reach of children. Always replace the cap tightly after use, and do not use it past the expiry date shown on the tube and carton.

Freederm Gel contains nicotinamide, which is not an antibiotic. This reduces the risk of developing antibiotic resistance and focuses on reducing inflammation, swelling, and redness associated with acne, providing an effective alternative to traditional antibiotic treatments.
