Acne help!! glycolic acid pads? clindamycin phosphate lotion?

I used to the clindamycin lotion (is an antibiotic) and it cleared up my acne! It didn't make my face dry though. I wonder if it was the glycol pads really making your face dry. I would try the clyndamycin lotion again. It only takes a little bit, like barely any on each area. A few days later the acne areas should clear up. After I got my acne under control I didn't really have a problem. Now I use the lotion maybe every 3 months or so. The lotion is also great to use on any kind of skin sore (bug bite, scrap) since it is an antibiotic. Good luck!
