Clinface is a combination of an antibiotic, Clindamycin, and a retinoid, Tretinoin. Clindamycin works by binding to the bacteria and stopping them from growing. Clinface helps reduce acne-causing bacteria. Tretinoin helps by making skin cells turn over faster and by releasing blocked pores that cause pimples.

In the morning: After applying the gel, use sunscreen. Don’t wash your face more than 2 or 3 times a day. Apply sunscreen as needed.
