First, wash your face with clean hands and lukewarm water. You should use a mild soap, ideally the included Aczee Soap. Dry your face before applying the medicine.

Only apply a thin layer of S.O.S. Clindamycin to the affected areas, using clean hands or cotton. Make sure to avoid your eyes, nose, mouth, and any areas that may be irritated or sore. Do this twice a day.

Yes! You should always use sunscreen, even when you aren't using S.O.S. Clindamycin. That being said, this medicine makes your skin extra prone to irritation which can be caused by the sun. Please be diligent about applying sunscreen in the morning, and reapplying as needed throughout the day. We recommend a sunscreen that's easy on the skin, like Dermplus Moisturizing Sunscreen.

S.O.S. Clindamycin is for external use only.

Do not use S.O.S Clindamycin if you:
• are allergic to clindamycin or lincomycin
have inflammation of your intestines (enteritis), ulcerative colitis, or have had severe diarrhea caused by antibiotic medicine.

• have had eczema or other skin problems, or an intestinal disorder.
• Are pregnant or planning to become pregnant
• If you are breastfeeding, tell your doctor if you notice diaper rash, diarrhea, or signs of stomach pain in the nursing baby.
• If you are applying clindamycin to your chest, avoid areas that may come into contact with your baby’s mouth.

• Burning, itching, or redness of the skin at application site.
• Scaling, pain, dryness, and skin irritation at the application site.

Rare side effects include abdominal pain, diarrhea, or oily skin.

Discontinue use of the product and consult a doctor if you experience
