help Veltin Gel FAQ
What active ingredients are in Veltin Gel?
Veltin contains clindamycin phosphate 1.2 percent and tretinoin 0.025 percent. It does not contain crisaborole, which is a different medication used for atopic dermatitis.
How should Veltin Gel be applied?
The prescribing information directs patients to apply a pea-sized amount in a thin layer to the affected facial area once daily at bedtime. Using more does not clear acne faster and can increase irritation.
Can Veltin make acne look worse at first?
Tretinoin can cause dryness, peeling, redness, or an apparent early flare as treatment begins. A prescriber may recommend adjusting frequency or supportive skin care if irritation becomes difficult to tolerate.
Can Veltin be combined with erythromycin acne products?
The FDA labeling says Veltin should not be used with erythromycin-containing products because it already contains the antibiotic clindamycin. Patients should also tell their prescriber about other irritating topical products and any history of colitis.
