"i started using adapalene with clindamycin in january 2014 for my acne. i&#039;ve never had really bad skin until freshman year of college. the acne probably resulted from a combination of stress, new environment, and poor eating habits. probably hormones too. but anyways, i definitely recommend these products. i still do get blemishes, but nothing near as severe and the painful bumps that covered everywhere on my face but my cheeks. i&#039;m so happy my doctor prescribed me this. if you have acne, you don&#039;t have to suffer! go to the doctor. by the way, it got worse before it got better for me, so stick with it. also, it&#039;s drying, so make sure to use a moisturizer. i use cetaphil."
