Acne is a common skin condition that causes spots, redness, and inflammation. It can appear on the face, back, or chest and often begins during puberty, although adults can also experience it. Common triggers include hormonal changes, excess oil production, clogged pores, and bacteria on the skin.
At Slinic Pharmacy, we provide prescription treatments designed to help reduce breakouts, control oil, and clear blocked pores. Our qualified prescribers will assess your symptoms and recommend the most suitable treatment option to help you achieve clearer skin. These treatments are designed to reduce inflammation, prevent future breakouts, and encourage skin renewal, supporting the overall appearance of acne-prone skin.
Alongside treatment, using non-comedogenic moisturisers, gentle cleansers, and daily SPF can support your skin’s recovery and reduce irritation. Maintaining a consistent routine is important, as visible results often take time to show and can vary from person to person.
Clearer skin is best achieved by following the advice of a qualified prescriber and sticking to the treatment plan that has been recommended for you. Patience and consistency are key, and by taking these steps you can gradually improve the health and appearance of your skin over time.

Frequently Asked Questions?
Answers to common questions about eligibility, safety and treatment at Slinic.
What’s the difference between Treclin and Skinoren?
Treclin contains an antibiotic (clindamycin) and a retinoid (tretinoin), making it ideal for inflamed or moderate acne. Skinoren contains azelaic acid, which targets bacteria and blocked pores and may be gentler for sensitive skin.
How long do acne creams take to work?
It can take 4 to 8 weeks to see improvement. Some people notice their skin gets slightly worse before it gets better—this is normal and usually temporary.
Can I use makeup while using Treclin or Skinoren?
Yes, but use non-comedogenic (non-pore-blocking) products and always apply the cream to clean skin before any makeup or skincare.
Are there side effects with Treclin or Skinoren?
Some people may experience mild redness, dryness, or peeling when starting treatment. These effects often settle with continued use. If irritation is severe, speak to a prescriber.
Do I need a prescription to buy acne creams online?
Yes. At Slinic, you’ll complete a short online consultation. A UK-licensed prescriber will review your answers and approve treatment if it’s suitable.
