Hi all,
I've been using clindamycin twice daily (morning and before bed) and retin-a (Trentonin, before bed) once a day, and towards the end of the school day I always seem to get greasy looking and very red looking skin. I understand the greasy looking part, but is there any reason I should be experiencing redness more than TWO months after beginning treatment?

Sun exposure will cause redness. Make sure that you wait a half hour after washing before using tretinoin. Moisturizer/sunscreen might sound silly when you already have greasy skin but it may help.
