Clindoxyl gel for acne and blackheads ?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Clindamycin: Clindamycin is a good treatment for acne but not blackheads. Retin-a for similar medicines will help clear the blackheads.

More acne: Clindoxyl gel is a mixture of benzoyle peroxide and clindamycin. These are two very common topical treatments for acne. They work better on the "pimple" type of lesions. Not the best treatment for blackheads. Medicines like retin a (tretinoin) cream are better for blackheads.
