Uses

How it Works

How Clindamycin and Tretinoin work Clindamycin and Tretinoin is a combination of two medicines that treat pimples (acne). Clindamycin is an antibiotic that penetrates the skin to kill acne-causing bacteria. Tretinoin is a form of vitamin A that reduces oil production in the skin, replenishes the skin, and helps keep your pores open.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Clindamycin and Tretinoin include dryness, erythema (skin redness), scaling, burning sensation, skin exfoliation, nasopharyngitis (inflammation of the throat and nasal passages), cough, and sinus inflammation.

Expert Advice

  • Clindamycin + Tretinoin should be applied as a thin layer onto clean, dry, unbroken skin affected by acne.
  • Clean the area to be treated with water and a non-medicated soap, and let it dry for 20-30 minutes before applying the medication.
  • It may cause minor burning, stinging, or irritation upon application. Inform your doctor if these symptoms persist.
  • Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse off with water if the cream accidentally gets into these areas.
  • Avoid exposure to sunlight while using Clindamycin + Tretinoin, as it increases skin sensitivity.
  • Use protective measures such as sunscreen or protective clothing.
  • Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
