A member asked:

I'm using clindoxyl to clear my acne, but it seems to just be getting worse. how long should i expect the treatment to start working?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Give it a few weeks: If you're having scarring, or your acne is bad, or it's on your trunk, get with your personal physician now because the combination of clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide won't be sufficient.
