What is Clindamycin Phosphate and How Does It Help Acne?
Clindamycin Phosphate (Clindasol) is a topical acne therapy with SPF 15 sunscreen.
What does clindamycin do for acne?
Clindamycin phosphate topical solution helps treat skin infections, severe acne, and bacteria that cause infections.
How to use clindamycin phosphate topical solution?
- Always wash and dry your skin before applying clindamycin phosphate topical solution.
- Apply a thin layer of clindamycin phosphate to the whole area affected by acne, not just to the pimples. This will help keep new pimples from breaking out.

- For clindamycin phosphate to work, you must use the full treatment even if your acne begins to clear. Do not miss any doses.
