Hi I'm Dulce and I am 26. My acne wasn't this bad when I was in high school. I had some pimples but they were pretty small. Now they are about medium size. LOL. To me anyways. Well I recently went to the doctors for something else and mentioned my acne. He looked at my face and said he will refer me to a dermatologist and prescribed me Clindamycin Phosphate. He said to use this once a day. Either the morning or at night. I use that at night and then put my benzoyl peroxide on top of that.

Now this stuff is a liquid and smells straight up like rubbing alcohol. I actually thought it was but obviously it's not it would say it's alcohol. Right? Well I just wanted to know everyone's thought on this product. Thank you for reading can't wait for your replies!

I can't see no acne but anyway I used Duac gel which is bp 5% and 1% clyndamicine and it worked fine for a while

Well the pictures above you can't see it cause the acne looks blurred. LOL. =) But I have been using it for about a week not along with salicylic acid and bp. I also do wear makeup.

I use Evoclin, which is a Clindamycin Phosphate foam and it seems to help my acne! I hope it works for yoU!

I'd like to acknolage your inquiry of It smelling just like rubbing alchohol. Well that's because every 10oz of clindamycin is 52% Isopropyl alchohol for this is the vehicle of the actual medicine to treat your skin.

just another terrible chemical that wont really cure your acne. same thing goes for benzoyl peroxide.....benzoyl peroxide is terrible.

i was put on clindamycin phosphate and all it did was make my skin worse. i eventually just stopped using it.
