Question: Hello.I have dry on cheeks,normal on T zone skin. its dry,sensitive,acne also there. Dry + Acne! Doc prescribed LS dew soap but it only ended up making my cheeks flaky..What other soaps can I use?
Brief Answer: XXXXXXX plus Clindamycin
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam.
I understand your query and concern.
You need to use two soaps separately-one to prevent drying,the second to prevent/treat acne formation.
To prevent dryness and flaking,i usually recommend XXXXXXX Aloevera Cream soap.Wash your face thoroughly for 4 times a day.
TO prevent/treat the acne,i recommend Clindamycin/adaplene containing soaps,to be used 4-6 times a day.
XXXXXXX should be used after Clindamycin soap.
Post your further queries,if any.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Clinda soap.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam.
You can have clindamycin in the form of Clinda 1% treatment soap.
Avoid frequent face washing .Try to keep total no of face washes to less than 4,if possible in order to prevent drying.
In case of any drying shift to ointment Adaplene,once daily night time application is enough. Adaplene is available on prescription from your local doctor.
