Clindamycin/tretinoin
The drug combination clindamycin/tretinoin is a topical acne treatment. It combines clindamycin phosphate (1.2%), an antibiotic, and tretinoin (0.025%), a retinoid.[1] It comes in 2, 30, and 60 gram tubes and should be stored at 25°C (77°F), with the tube tightly shut away from light.[2] Side effects may include peeling, redness, dryness, itching and photosensitivity. Also, topical clindamycin may rarely cause diarrhea or colitis. Sun exposure while using this preparation can cause skin irritation.
