A member asked:

I'm currently using clindoxyl gel my acne has cleared up and was wondering if i stop using the gel will my acne come back or will my face stay clear?

Acne: If your acne completely cleared it will be nice to give your skin a break, at any time you feel it is coming back & most likely it might then you can resume the treatment. It is always best if you check with your doctor or dermatologist . Best wishes.
