How adapalene + clindamycin + zinc acetate works

This is a combination of three medicines. Adapalene is a form of vitamin A that treats acne (pimples). It works by preventing the accumulation of the sebum (skin’s natural oil) which unblocks the pores and allows natural exfoliation of the outer layers of skin. Clindamycin is an antibiotic. It works by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Thus, it stops the bacteria from growing and prevents the infection from spreading. Zinc acetate has an antioxidant activity that protects the cells from toxins. This is how it works against acne.
