It also has anti-inflammatory effects that make pimples less swollen and red.

They work by killing the bacteria causing the infection. Use this gel along with other acne treatment to help you get a faster result.

It is also used to treat a common bacterial infection that typically affects children known as Impetigo. The bacteria that cause Impetigo are resistant to many types of antibiotic and that a stronger antibiotic like Clindamycin is needed.
