It combines clindamycin, an antibiotic, with benzoyl peroxide, which helps clear spots and reduces the chance of bacteria becoming resistant to the antibiotic. It is mainly suggested when red, inflamed spots are the main problem. At Ways Pharmacy it is supplied only after a pharmacist has looked at clear photos of your skin, checked your health and confirmed that it is suitable for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to access this medicine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/app.nymoclinic.co.uk\/public\/pgd-book\/ways-pharmacy-holborn\/3d437de7-50d9-4d0c-9946-65a7da7b8b2b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStart your free online assessment.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e Answer the health questions online and confirm your identity (upload photo ID, or show it on a video call).
