What Experts Say

Clindamycin cream works directly on the skin, reducing the bacteria that contribute to acne breakouts and calming the inflammation around them.

It is applied in a thin layer to clean, dry skin, usually once or twice daily, and is often combined with other acne treatments under a doctor's guidance.

Mild dryness, peeling or stinging can occur at first, especially when combined with other acne products, so introducing new products one at a time helps identify what the skin tolerates well.
