A member asked:

Prescribed benzaclin (clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide) for chronic acne, but it's always in this little jar, so i never know how much i should apply to my face. how much should i use?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can be sparing: This stuff is potent. You'll know you've put on enough when the benzoyl peroxoide makes your face feel a bit irritated over the day.
