Q: my doctor gave me benzoyl perozide gel and clindamycin phosphate gel. which order do they go in? am i supposed to use them together? how do i use them?

: I recommend use separately. The BP overnight and the clindamycin during the day. I would be worthwhile to do a trial during the day of the BP to see how your skin reacts. Some can only tolerate it for 8 hours before the skin reddens the next day. I haven't seen a problem with the clindamycin.
