I was prescribed tretinoin and clindamycin. when to apply these?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For acne?: If for acne, i advise patients to cleanse face prior. Apply Clindamycin gel in am with tretinoin at night to affected areas. Skin sensitivity may result with the treinoin and you may discontinue until improvements in sensitivity are seen. Clindamycin can be applied 2 times daily (am and pm).
