Dr. Harold Bacchus answered

Specializes in Occupational Medicine

Acne or zits: Benzaclin (clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide) is benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin to scrub & treat infected acne pores. It'd take 5 days to see changes. You'd have to do additional skin care daily, dietary changes, non-oil soaps, no nail picking & decreased oily makeup...
