What happens if i use too much clindamycin gel for acne on my face? will overuse be counteractive? can i apply moisturizer over it once dried?

Clindamycin gel: Overuse if the gel can cause drying of the face . Stop the gel and apply moisturizers until your face is less dry and then reaply clindamycin
