Dalatsin is one of the most effective remedies for acne on the face, which, if used correctly, can speed up skin cleansing and prevent new breakouts. The drug, due to the antibiotic Clindamycin included in the composition, copes well with inflammatory processes that have arisen in the epidermis.
How does Dalatsin work?
The drug accelerates the healing process of the skin and has a fairly narrow antimicrobial effect, but the most important thing is that clindamycin is active against:
all strains of Propionibacterium acnes, which in most cases cause all acne
Staphylococci and Streptococci, which account for about half of purulent-inflammatory skin diseases,
Eubacteria and Actinomycetes, which also play a role in the development of inflammation, pimples and acne.
The substance itself inhibits the development of microbes, which allows you to cleanse the epidermis of current inflammations and prevent the appearance of new ones.
Clindamycin has a selective effect without disturbing the structure of the body's cells, easily penetrates deep into tissues and accelerates the process of cleansing tissues from pathogenic microbes.
This product copes well with purulent rashes. It is also suitable for those who want to get rid of subcutaneous acne on the face and body. Dalatsin gel is also often used for acne on the back, applying it to the affected areas on previously cleansed dry skin. Penetrating into the deep layers of the epidermis, the product helps the body cope with the pathogenic microflora that is located at the source of inflammation.

I give the gel an excellent rating, although before purchasing and starting to use I had some concerns about the composition. Still, galacin is considered a type of antibiotic for external use.
And everything that is considered antibiotics makes me wary. In particular, no one has canceled the addiction, as well as the effect of reducing the effectiveness of other acne care products.
But I had no choice, I had to quickly solve the problem, so I decided to use heavy artillery in the form of this gel.
The release form is standard, in the form of a small hygienic tube with a volume of 30 g, a very good cap. Unscrews easily. The texture is pleasant, light and airy, inside the tube there is literally a transparent gel. The gel literally melts on the skin and turns into water.
It does not dry out immediately, but there is no feeling of tightness on the skin. I usually smear the skin at night, the next morning all the pustules that were turned into small red spots. So I'm very, very pleased with the result. The only negative is that a lasting effect can only be achieved by long-term use, at least 2 months.

I have been using the gel for a very long time, usually in courses of 3-4 days in a row, although some people talk about constant use. It is difficult for me to imagine this, since the gel is very strong in composition. Kills all microbes that are in the upper layers of the skin. But not only them, the gel also actively eliminates excess natural secretions of the sebaceous glands, which, of course, is undesirable for skin over 30.
So I determined a comfortable usage schedule for myself. Only when necessary. The gel was recommended to me by a cosmetologist.
In terms of its effect on the skin, the gel can be compared to an acid peel. After several applications, the skin becomes very red, and a reaction is evident. So after application I have to make a soothing mask to relieve the itching.
But all the pimples and dark spots go away without a trace, I don’t make any special efforts. And one more thing, Dalacin is simply an ideal care option during the warm, sunny season, when harsh exfoliation and retinoid-based creams/gels are not recommended.

Ever since I was a teenager, I was terribly bothered by acne; it broke out not only on my face, but also on my shoulders. It’s a pity, then I couldn’t have this gel... and their number decreased by the age of 18, as one would expect. But there was a lot of breakout on my face, and it’s been 26 years. This gel was recommended to me - it helps wonderfully! It helps quickly and effectively, does not leave an oily sheen on the face - it removes everything, pimples soon disappear, and, most importantly, cleanses the pores. Completely restores the skin. Easy to use - transparent, non-sticky, has no unpleasant odor and can even be used under powder or foundation, if necessary)). Absorbs quickly, lasts a long time, can be applied at night, does not leave marks on the pillow).
An excellent method of combating acne, I am very grateful to this wonderful gel, which simply saved my face from a terrible deficiency.

I often suffer from inflammation on my face. I tried a lot of things. Some are better, some are worse. I decided to buy this cream and did not regret it! I applied it directly to pimples, several times a day. It relieves inflammation very well and dries out acne. It contains zinc in its composition, which is why it has such a positive effect.
The next day after use, the result is already noticeable, and after 5 days there is no trace of acne left. A huge advantage of this product is that it does not contain hormones, which means you can use it 2-3 times a day. For me, it is a good remedy in the fight against skin imperfections. Now my face is fresh, without blemishes on the skin. The only negative is that the cream is not cheap.

Dalacid was recommended to me by a cosmetologist; I can’t say, of course, that my face was heavily covered, but nevertheless there were small pimples in the forehead area. I used it exactly according to the instructions. I didn’t use any other funds. After two weeks, my face became completely clear. What can I say about the gel itself: it doesn’t dry out, it’s quickly absorbed, it has a pleasant aroma, and the consumption is low. Of course, I can’t say that the price is normal. Of course it’s expensive for me, but I took it and of course I’m glad that it helped. As for the combination with antibiotics, I read this in the reviews. Honestly, I don’t know, but I think it’s probably combined with chloramphenicol alcohol, externally. Because if you drink it internally, it will have to restore the microflora. My cosmetologist always says that rashes on the face are intestinal or gynecological diseases.

The child (as luck would have it, 2 weeks before September 1st, we are first-graders) first developed rashes on his head, then across his face. Initially, I actually thought it was lichen ((they ran to the KVD, took a scraping. FUUUU... it turned out not to be lichen. As a result, the nearest KVD didn’t tell me anything intelligible - they immediately started prescribing antibiotics. But no... I said and started looking for a good dermatologist. Hurray I found it in the Central Clinical Hospital of Moscow))) It turned out to be a streptococcal infection. I was prescribed to treat it with 5% levomycetine. alcohol, and then dalocin. And no antibiotics))) The very next day, the rashes stopped and everything began to dry out faster. So on September 1st we went beautiful.

A little background on my sad skin:
From the age of 14 to 24, I suffered from periodic rashes, I tried baziron, effezel, and many other remedies, all as it should be in long courses, of course, before that I underwent a full examination and made sure that the problem with these rashes was not internal problems.
And now, after 10 years of various experiments in attempts to cure my skin, I was completely desperate and decided to buy an antibiotic, postponing it until the last moment, because... I convinced myself that it was very harmful to the skin (I read too much on the internet). At one point, my patience ran out and I decided to take Dalatsin, because I no longer had the strength to look at the bumpy, pimply skin, and all other drugs had already been tried without any positive dynamics.
Day X and the campaign for Dalatsin arrived.
Price 650 rubles.
Tube volume 30 ml.
Gel texture.
At this point, my skin was between mild to moderate acne. There were a couple of subcutaneous pimples and closed, inflamed comedones. There were also open ones, but I clean them immediately when special ones appear. tool. All this was based on the cheeks and along the jaw line.
Already on the first day, all redness and inflammation subsided and became flesh-colored, like healthy skin. The magical power of an antibiotic) Subcutaneous acne went away within the first week. The only thing that remained were the hard pimples and closed comedones, but they couldn’t be removed with antibiotics. The second stage of treatment removed them with Azelik.
It turns out that the maximum result from Dalatsin was achieved in exactly a month, just before the New Year, for me this is the best and long-awaited gift.
I continued to use Dalacin because... According to the instructions, the full course of treatment is 6-8 weeks.
During the first month of treatment, I noticed that it did not dry out or irritate the skin at all, unlike the above-mentioned vigorous medicinal products such as Effezel. Not greasy and dries quickly. I applied it in the morning and at night, no unpleasant sensations or reactions were noticed. I was afraid that because of the antibiotic, the skin’s immunity would decrease and any infection would begin to stick, but this did not happen. In a month it took me exactly half a tube, so one tube is enough for exactly a full course of 2 months.
Bottom line: for me this remedy turned out to be a real magic wand. Ideal to use, and the result is achieved in a very short time.
The only thing left after complete treatment is to remove acne spots, but I have already learned how to deal with them with acidic agents.
As proof, I am attaching a photo before Dalatsin and after a month of treatment with it, without filters. Perhaps someone will say that pf this is not problem skin at all, but in real life, under different lighting, all these bumps and pimples are much more visible and brighter, not to mention the fact that they were felt to the touch and periodically became inflamed and turned into red spots, and no tonal one lay flat on these places. Now the skin is clean, smooth and healthier.

Hi all.
The review will be dedicated to the drug that literally “saved” my skin from subcutaneous acne. I have been looking for a spot treatment for acne for a very long time, and also built an entire skin care system to reduce sebum production and reduce the number of pimples, blackheads, tighten pores, etc.
We will talk about dalacin. I’ll make a disclaimer right away: I use it in tandem with Effezel, so I can’t attribute all the changes to it alone, but the fact that it/they work is for sure.
Packaging: tube 30 g.
Application:
Externally. A thin layer of gel is applied to the affected area of clean, dry skin 2 times a day.
To obtain the first positive results, it should be used for 6-8 weeks, and if necessary, can be continued for up to 6 months.
If after using the drug for several months the effectiveness of Dalatsin decreases, you should take a break from treatment for 4 weeks.
Now about my skin. In order not to be unfounded, I will simply show you what happened and how my skin changed after using this gel and Effezel:
I’ll say right away: the difference between the photos is 5 days. I didn’t take intermediate photos, because... these creams make my skin flaky wildly (at least for me), it becomes hypersensitive that it stings even from the moisturizing and nourishing pharmacy cream from La Roche Posay. During these five days, I wildly hated my skin, I couldn’t put on makeup properly, even applying powder was a problem for me - all the peeling immediately became visible, the skin peeled off like a snake’s in pieces, in those places where I had previously applied these gels.
But this torment was worth it, because look what the skin has become! Even if there are traces of acne, this is a second matter, they also need to be dealt with separately, but how quickly the subcutaneous tissues “deflated”! This is simply incredible!
For the price: I bought it for 700 rubles at the Ozerki pharmacy (St. Petersburg).
The consumption is very economical, since it must be applied in a thin layer locally to the affected areas, so even if you really want to, you won’t quickly use it up.
To summarize all of the above: I strongly recommend it to anyone who periodically has such subcutaneous acne.
Thank you for your attention and clear skin for you!
Contraindications
Dalatsin has a relatively small number of contraindications, these include:
- Age up to 12 years;
- Hypersensitivity to clindamycin or lincomycin;
- High sensitivity to the components of the drug;
- Crohn's disease;
- Various colitis;
- Taking muscle relaxants.
I also did not recommend the use of Dalatsin during pregnancy, since it can enter the systemic circulation and potentially penetrate the placental barrier, as well as during lactation, since there is insufficient data on this topic in the studies conducted.
Side effects
If the drug is used incorrectly, the risk of an allergic reaction or irritation increases sharply.
The most common reasons are:
- High skin sensitivity to active substances;
- Applying the drug in a thick layer;
- Presence of contraindications for use.
- Immediate reactions may be accompanied by:
- Skin rashes;
- Peeling;
- Burning;
- Dryness;
- Itching;
- Local swelling;
- Redness;
- Urticaria;
- Dermatitis.
Since the main active ingredient of the drug is an antibiotic, it is not recommended to use Dalatsin on an ongoing basis, but it is also necessary that the duration of the course of treatment be sufficient so that the bacteria do not have time to develop addiction. Typically, at least 2 weeks per affected area.
Do not use simultaneously with sulfonamide drugs, pyrazolone derivatives, or cytostatics. If the patient has been taking antibiotics from the lincosamide group, for example Lincomycin, for a year, then the effectiveness of Dalatsin will be weaker, and the likelihood of developing side effects will also increase.
Instructions for the gel
Dalatsin
Dalacin (the pharmacologically active substance in its composition is clindamycin) is a semisynthetic antibiotic from the lincosamide group, obtained from lincomycin. The drug is effective against infections caused by a wide range of anaerobes and gram-positive aerobes. Gram-negative aerobic bacteria (for example, enterobacteria) are resistant to this antibiotic. Dalacin realizes its antimicrobial effect through binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of the bacterial cell, which makes it possible to suppress the synthesis of the protein necessary for the growth and reproduction of the microorganism even in the early stages.
Dalacin is available in four dosage forms: capsules, vaginal suppositories and cream, as well as a gel for external use. Capsules, as a systemic dosage form acting on the body as a whole, are used for many different infections of a wide variety of etiologies and localizations: infections of the upper and lower respiratory tract, ENT organs (ear/nose/throat), skin and soft tissues, bones and joints , genitourinary tract, oral cavity, etc. Vaginal suppositories and cream have a narrow specialization and are intended for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, or, as it is also called, vulvovaginitis. Gel for external use is also a highly targeted remedy and is used to combat acne vulgaris.
The use of capsules is not complicated: adults - 600-1800 mg, children - 8-25 mg per 1 kg of weight in equal doses for 2, 3 or 4 doses per day, washed down with a full glass of water to avoid damage to the mucous membrane of the esophagus. The specific dose, frequency and duration of taking dalacin is determined by the doctor, based on the information collected during the interview, examination and diagnostic studies. Suppositories should be administered before bedtime for 3 days. For ease of administration, the packaging with the dosage form is equipped with a reusable plastic applicator (however, you need to wash it after each use using warm water and regular soap). The cream should be administered before going to bed for 3-7 days (the specific period of use is determined by the attending physician). The instructions for use included in the package contain the rules for introducing the cream into the vagina, where this entire jewelry process is described very clearly and with illustrations. As for the gel, it should be applied in a thin layer to the surface of the skin affected by acne (it should be dry and clean) twice a day for 6-8 weeks. If necessary, it is possible to increase the therapeutic course to 6 months.
