Acnev Cream 1% w/w contains Clascoterone, a topical anti-androgen medication specifically designed for the treatment of acne vulgaris. Clascoterone works by blocking androgen receptors in the skin, reducing the effect of hormones that trigger excess sebum production and inflammation, which are key contributors to acne development.

Acnev Cream is a non-systemic, locally acting therapy, making it effective in treating mild to moderate acne with minimal systemic side effects. Its gentle formulation is suitable for daily use on affected areas such as the face, chest, and back.

Indications

Acnev Cream 1% is indicated for the management of:

• Mild to moderate inflammatory acne
• Non-inflammatory acne lesions such as comedones
• Acne associated with excessive sebum production
• Prevention of new acne lesions in patients prone to outbreaks

Mechanism of Action

Clascoterone is a topical androgen receptor inhibitor that:

• Binds to androgen receptors in the sebaceous glands
• Reduces the effects of androgens, which are hormones that increase sebum production
• Limits inflammatory responses associated with acne lesions
• Targets acne at its hormonal and inflammatory source without systemic hormonal suppression

This dual action helps reduce lesion formation, inflammation, and oiliness, leading to clearer skin over time.
