A member asked:

How do i apply clindamycin phosphate and benzoyl peroxide gel on my face?

Dr. Joseph Oh answered

Morning and night: It is usually recommended to use it in the morning and in the evening, preferably at the same time each day. Wash face w/ warm water and gently pat dry. Apply a thin layer using ur fingertips. If there is white residue on your skin, used too much (less next time). After use, wash your hands.
