Mechanism of Action
Clindamycin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. When applied to the skin, it penetrates the follicles and reduces the population of Propionibacterium acnes (now called Cutibacterium acnes), the bacteria primarily responsible for acne inflammation. This results in reduced redness, swelling, and formation of new acne lesions.
