Effectiveness

How Clindamycin Phosphate And Benzoyl Peroxide Affects Patients

Benzoyl peroxide is a medication used to treat acne. It works by breaking down the existing acne and increasing the rate at which skin cells are replaced. It is generally considered safe, although it can cause skin irritation, dryness, and sunburn. Patients should be aware of these potential side effects and take precautions to avoid them.

How Clindamycin Phosphate And Benzoyl Peroxide works in the body

Acne is caused by an overproduction of sebum, hormones, and bacteria in the skin. Benzoyl peroxide works to reduce acne by breaking down bacteria, decreasing the amount of sebum, and speeding up the turnover rate of skin cells. This helps to reduce the formation of comedones (whiteheads and blackheads).

Clindamycin Phosphate And Benzoyl Peroxide for Acne

I had moderate acne that this treatment quickly helped clear up. Within a week, my skin was almost completely free of blemishes and hyperpigmentation. The only downside is that it can dry out your skin; however, using a quality moisturizer should fix that problem.

Clindamycin Phosphate And Benzoyl Peroxide for Acne

Will continue to work as long as you keep using it. I stopped for a week and only used it for spot treatments because it was making my face dry when applied all over, but this led to the product no longer preventing acne. In conclusion: use regularly for best results and consider using a lotion if you experience dry skin.

Isotretinoin vs Tetracycline for Acne

Any Age
All Sexes
Charleston, SC

In the effort to find better treatments for Moderate Acne, which often relies on long-term antibiotic use, researchers are exploring alternative options. While Isotretinoin, a Vitamin A derivative, is highly effective for severe acne, its side effects limit its use for milder cases. A recent study from our institution investigated a new approach: weekly Isotretinoin dosing. The results were promising, with acne improvement and no major side effects. This suggests that weekly Isotretinoin could be a successful alternative for moderate acne in both males and females. To validate these findings, investigators propose a randomized controlled trial comparing weekly Isotretinoin to daily Doxycycline over four months. This study could confirm the safety and effectiveness of weekly Isotretinoin, as well as shed light on patient satisfaction, and long-term results compared to standard antibiotics. This research may offer a breakthrough in treating moderate acne while addressing concerns about antibiotic overuse.
