It is used as a treatment for acne. Usually as a facial treatment cream or sometimes taken orally.

No, it won't help to treat acne scars, but it is a good treatment to treat existing acne and to help prevent future acne. A dermatologist can help you treat your acne scars -- many options exist: dermabrasion, chemical peels, or laser treatments. The best treatment for you will depend on your skin coloring, complexion, and the type of acne scarring you have. Whether or not your face can tolerate simultaneous treatment with AcneFree and clindamycin will depend on your skin's sensitivity. You should be fine since the primary ingredient is hydroquinone. This primarily reduces redness -- it doesn't really treat "depression scars" or "icepick" scars, if this is what you have. If it over-irritates your skin, I would stop the AcneFree Scar Fade & Erase since I would question its efficacy for anything other than post-acne redness. You will need to continue using the sunscreen provided because the clindamycin will make you skin more prone to sunburn (and will also dry it out some). Good luck!

I struggled with acne for years and I finally found the solution that works for me. We have been fooled, tricked, deceived, and just plain lied to. It's time that someone put a stop to it, and everyone learn the truth!
Those of us who suffer from acne have usually been given 2 choices and neither of them work:
1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.
2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.
I found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back. It is amazing and doesn’t use any drugs or doctors. The truth is that acne can be cured…if we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don’t want us to know.
There is a great website: http://cure-my-acne.info/3daycure/ that has all the details. I really suggest you check it out and see if it works as well for you as it did for me.

Clindamycin is actually an antibiotic used to treat moderate to severe acne.

Yes, clindamycin treats acne, but it will also alter the normal flora (bacteria) of the GI tract and, you could end up with clostridium difficile, so I think you should ask a MD about it first.

Yes. Some people get great results with it.
I took it for a couple of years as a young adult. It worked very well for a while, but then the effects seemed to wear off. I eventually changed to a different antibiotic.

If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.
For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.
Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.
Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:
