About Deriva-CMS Gel
Deriva-CMS Gel is a topical acne treatment made by Glenmark Pharmaceuticals. It combines two actives in a single gel: adapalene 0.1% w/w and clindamycin phosphate 1% w/w. The pack describes it as adapalene microspheres plus clindamycin phosphate gel.
This page is for the 20g tube. If you are looking for an adapalene-only gel without clindamycin, that is a different product.
How to Use
Use Deriva-CMS Gel exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. The manufacturer’s dosage line reads “as directed by the physician”.
General points that usually apply to adapalene-based gels:
- Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin. A little goes a long way.
- Keep it away from eyes, lips, nostrils and broken skin.
- Wash your hands after applying.
- Use sunscreen during the day, because retinoids can make skin more sensitive to sun.
- Don’t apply more than directed. It won’t speed things up and can increase irritation.
Important Precautions
- Do not use if you are allergic to adapalene, clindamycin or any other ingredient in the gel.
- Mild dryness, redness, peeling, burning or itching can occur, especially in the first weeks.
- For external use only. Keep out of reach of children.
Storage
Store as stated on the pack. Manufacturer information lists storage below 25°C, and the gel should not be frozen. Keep the cap closed after use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Deriva-CMS Gel used for?
It is an acne gel containing adapalene and clindamycin. It is used for acne vulgaris, meaning pimples, whiteheads and blackheads. It is applied to the skin only.
What is the difference between Deriva-CMS and Deriva MS?
Deriva-CMS contains two actives: adapalene 0.1% and clindamycin 1%. Deriva MS contains adapalene only, without the antibiotic. Which one suits you is a question for your doctor.
Can it cause irritation or peeling?
Yes. Dryness, redness, peeling, burning and itching are commonly reported with adapalene-based gels, especially early on. Stop and speak to your doctor if irritation is strong or persistent.
Do I need sunscreen while using it?
Adapalene can make skin more sun-sensitive, so daily sunscreen is generally advised, particularly in the UAE climate.
