What's the recommended usage for topical clindamycin and topical tretinoin?

Doctor's Answer

You can use topical clindamycin once in the morning or twice a day (including night time) depending on how bad your acne lesions are.

However, if your acne lesions do not seem to be responding to topical clindamycin after 2 to 3 months, I would recommend seeing your doctor to assess if another type of treatment might be more suitable for you.

Topical tretinoin is recommended only to be applied at night as it increases the risk of photosensitivity.
