Mode of Action
Adapalene works by increasing the turnover of skin cells. This aids the natural exfoliation of the surface layer of skin and helps to unblock the pores and sebaceous glands (the glands that produce sebum, the skin's natural oil), allowing the sebum to escape. It reduces the formation of blackheads and spots.
Clindamycin is used to treat acne. It helps to decrease the number of acne lesions. Clindamycin is an antibiotic which works by stopping the growth of bacteria.
