Monderma's clindamycin is typically applied to your face. It can also be used on your neck and under-eye area with moisturiser. A low strength is recommended for these areas, as they are more sensitive. Avoid applying it too close to your eyelids.
Apply TWO pumps to clean, dry skin on the affected area(s) once daily at NIGHT. After application, wash your hands and follow up with applying a moisturiser. Use a sunscreen of SPF30 or higher daily to protect your skin.
Monderma prescribes clindamyin at a strength of 1%, in accordance with national guidelines.
You may start to see visible results after 1 week. However, for lasting results, we recommend nightly use for at least 12 weeks.
Clindamycin can be used for no longer than 3 consecutive months. Before Monderma's prescribers will consider resuming treatment, an extended break is required.
Although clindamycin is designed to treat skin conditions, some users may experience mild side effects. This includes peeling, tingling, and redness, particularly during the initial adjustment period.
To minimise this risk, Monderma recommends starting with a lower strength and applying a moisturiser to support your skin as it adapts.
Clindamycin is not safe for use during pregnancy. If you are trying to conceive, become pregnant, or are breastfeeding, discontinue use immediately and contact us for further guidance.
Clindamycin is generally safe to combine with most over-the-counter skincare products. If you need to use any other prescription skincare, you must notify Monderma to ensure your custom formula remains safe.
Additionally, always notify each healthcare or procedure provider about your prescription skincare use. Some procedures may require pausing application before and after to minimize skin sensitivity or potential adverse reactions.
