A member asked:
Can we add clindamycin in moisturiser to maintain clear skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Clindamycin is a topical antibiotic which is appropriate for acne therapy. It may not mix well with a moisturizer and therefore not be effective. It is always better to have products formulated to achieve what you need rather than "mixing" yourself.
