Cabtreo is the first triple combination topical gel formulated to treat acne. This combination of clindamycin, adapalene, and benzoyl peroxide is a highly effective treatment for acne. Here’s what you need to know.
The Acne Struggle
More than 80% of adults experience acne. This condition is complex and there are various factors that can contribute to breakouts. Genetics, stress, hormones, and more can all play a role. Some people think of acne as a purely cosmetic issue, but it’s not. This is a medical condition and often requires professional treatment to calm breakouts, prevent scarring, and help prevent future flare ups.

About Cabtreo
Cabtreo is the first and only FDA approved fixed-dose, triple combination topical treatment. It is the first of its kind. Three medications combined into a single daily treatment that’s easy to use. Where other acne treatments can often include multiple products and extensive routines, this is a simple dose, once a day.
Cabtreo takes a three-pronged approach to acne by combining an antibiotic, retinoid and antibacterial to provide a proven, safe, and effective treatment.
Let’s take a look at the ingredients and how they work.
- Clindamycin is an antibiotic that targets the bacteria causing acne.
- Adapalene helps boost cell turnover.
- Benzoyl peroxide kills bacteria and helps remove dead skin cells.
Once a Day Treatment
Cabtreo is an easy treatment. This topical gel just needs to be applied once a day. It’s easy and simple.
- First you use the pump to dispense a pea size amount of Cabtreo onto your finger.
- Dot the pea sized amount onto six areas of your face: chin, each cheek, nose, both sides of your forehead.
- Spread the gel evenly over your skin and gently rub it in.
- Wash your hands after applying.
Results
In clinical studies, Cabtreo resulted in 80% less inflammatory acne, 73% less noninflammatory acne, and 50% of patients saw clear or almost clear skin.
