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.

gollark: Can you be trusted? What if there's a copy of PotatOS for x86 in that?
gollark: I mean, just hosting the pack as a zip is easy, "solder" possibly less so.

gollark: Fortunately, mine is safe due to running Opus within a PotatoVM.
gollark: Half of them run opus, so just find an exploit in its networking stack.
