Clindoxyl Gel


I started going to the dermatologist a few months ago and this is one of the samples he gave me. It contains 1% clindamycin and 5% benzoyl peroxide. I'm supposed to apply a thin layer after I wash my face on acne prone areas every night. It's suppose to help prevent acne from forming.

Positives:
It works well. I've seen it stop acne from further developing and it slowly gets rid of the acne without the need to pop it. (Note: my dermatologist told me never to pop my own pimple)

Negatives:
I believe you can only get the product if it's prescribed.
It bleaches fabrics.
It dries up the face but it's fine on oily skin.
