Erythromycin & Tretinoin

Aknemycin Plus contains two active ingredients, erythromycin and tretinoin. Erythromycin is an antibiotic which kills the germs found in acne and reduces the inflammation of your skin. Tretinoin encourages the layer of dead and hardened skin cells that form on the skin surface to peel. It also clears the blackheads which block your skin pores and cause spots to form.
