I have finally decided to take the steps toward clearing up my mild/moderate acne as well as some scarring that I have. I went to see my derm. yesterday and he prescribed clindamycin, both the pill and the gel. I heard that it dries out the skin so I wanted to know what would be an appropriate regimen while I am on this medication. I currently use clean & clear morning burst facial cleanser which I might stop using while on this medicine because it has fragrance in it as well as other things that probably won't mix well with the gel. I also use clean & clear dual action moisturizer. I have been told that cetaphil is a good choice, but I am not too sure. Also, the instructions say to use the gel twice a day but I am thinking that I should start off using it only at night just to see how I react to it. Any thoughts???
