A member asked:
Which should be more effective for acne and their marks tretinoin or adapalene with clindamcin? please give useful answer
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Experiment: If it is mild and confined to your face, the former may be enough to keep fresh lesions from appearing. The second is a bit stronger. Neither will touch the marks or scars that follow the acute phase. Your physician may need to add stronger stuff.
