I've been dealing with acne scars for a while now and I remember using Clinagel which had Clindamycin phosphate 1% and allantoin, and it actually worked really well for me. But it seems like it's not available anymore. Could you suggest a similar alternative that just includes these two ingredients? I'm really looking for something as effective.
