Can using Clearz Plus affect my skin negatively? I have some pimple scars on my cheeks, and my skin tends to be oily.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Clearz Plus, containing salicylic acid and tea tree oil, can be beneficial for oily skin and pimple scars, but start with a small patch test to check for any adverse reactions, and use it as directed, as excessive use can lead to dryness, irritation, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

I'm wondering if clindamycin phosphate gel works well for oily, acne-prone skin. I tried it because a doctor recommended it to me, but I haven't noticed any improvement. I checked with a dermatologist in Jaipur who mentioned that it might not be effective due to hormonal changes, especially since I recently got married. Does that sound right to you? Is there something else I should consider?
yes hormonal changes. COntinue clindamycin phosphate gel.
