Background

MINOCIN® Pellet-Filled Capsules and T3 Calming Wipes – “A Dual Approach to Acne Care with the Power to Calm—the Power to Clear”. Our review team was eager to find out more about this dual combination. Minocin is an effective new age product that helps in treating acne from the roots. We were very happy to explore the Minocin Kit that offers a combination of Minocin® pelletized capsules and T3 Calming Wipes. This interesting combination offers a solution that not only heals but also prevents acne. The Minocin capsules are antibiotics that help in clearing up the acne and the calming wipes remove the oil to prevent further breakout of acne.

The antibiotic capsules work on the following:

• Attacking the acne causing bacteria
• Reducing swelling
• Healing the acne

The soothing T3 wipes work on providing relief to the skin and keeping it oil free.

Ingredients

The Minocin capsules contain 50 mg or 100 mg of pellets of minocycline HCL in microcrystalline cellulose. These are stored inside a capsule shell and act as an antibiotic that help in healing the acne lesions and drying up the skin. This oral tetracycline antibiotic is effective in treating various types of bacterial infections. In this case Minocin is effective in attacking and eradicating the P. acnes bacteria.

The T3 wipes contain green tea leaf extracts and Sodium Hyaluronate which are non-irritating and oil free in nature. The green tea leaf extracts acts as an anti-oxidant which fights the oxygen free radicals in the skin. Sodium Hyaluronate is a natural ingredient which is already present in the skin in small quantities and acts as a moisturizer for the skin. It assists in absorbing moisture into the skin which keeps the skin soft and smooth.

Website

The website has a comprehensive look and is informative in nature. Our review team was happy to go through the website and find out more about the product. It has tabs like ‘Acne Overview’, ‘Talking to Your Dermatologist’, ‘Skin of Color’, ‘The KIT’, and ‘Special Offers’. The website offers a lot of information on acne and its primary causes in an interesting question and answer format. This is followed by a separate FAQ section for any other queries from the patient.

The website also recommends a visit to the dermatologist and has a questionnaire prepared on the website which will help the patient in being prepared for the visit. The contact us section provides a phone number, mailing address, and an email address for general queries or product related queries.

Lifestyle

The unique combination of antibiotic capsules and alcohol free wipes for clearing the skin is very attractive for those suffering from acne. The oral antibiotic works from within while the cosmetic wipes provide relief to the outer surface of the skin.

Pros

The wipes are very helpful in removing excess oil and calming the irritated skin. Most acne treatment products have alcohol which dries up the skin and causes further irritation. T3 wipes is alcohol free and provides relief to the skin.
