Clindamycin is an antibiotic that works by killing the bacteria that causes acne. It inhibits the growth of bacteria by binding to their ribosomal units, which are responsible for making proteins in the bacteria. Without these proteins, the bacteria are unable to grow and reproduce, leading to their eventual death.
Benzoyl Peroxide, on the other hand, is a powerful keratolytic agent (meaning it helps to loosen and remove dead skin cells) that also has antibacterial properties. It penetrates into the skin and produces free radicals, which destroy the bacteria responsible for causing acne. It also helps to unclog pores and reduce inflammation, helping to prevent future breakouts.
Together, these two medications work synergistically to effectively treat acne by killing bacteria, reducing inflammation, and removing dead skin cells. This can result in clearer, smoother skin and a reduction in the severity and frequency of acne breakouts.
