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.

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.
