Kills Acne-Causing Bacteria
Clindamycin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to 23S ribosomal RNA, stopping Cutibacterium acnes growth and reproduction on the skin surface.
Texture & feel
SENSORYKills Acne-Causing Bacteria
Clindamycin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to 23S ribosomal RNA, stopping Cutibacterium acnes growth and reproduction on the skin surface.
Reduces Inflammation
Provides anti-inflammatory benefits that help reduce the redness, swelling, and pain associated with inflammatory acne lesions like papules, pustules, and cysts.
Emollient Lotion Base
Unlike alcohol-based solutions, this lotion formula with glycerin and cetearyl alcohol provides hydration while delivering the active ingredient, minimizing dryness and irritation.
Low Systemic Absorption
Following topical application, very low serum levels of clindamycin are detected (0–3 ng/mL), with less than 0.2% of the dose recovered in urine.
Safety & compatibility
SAFENo adequate studies exist for the first trimester. Systemic clindamycin in the second and third trimesters has not shown increased congenital abnormalities. Use only if clearly needed and prescribed by your doctor.
Unknown if topical clindamycin enters breast milk. Oral/parenteral clindamycin does appear in breast milk. If applied to the chest area, take care to avoid infant ingestion.
Contains cetearyl alcohol, stearic acid, isostearyl alcohol, and glyceryl stearate — fatty acid-based ingredients that can feed malassezia yeast. Prolonged antibiotic use may also promote yeast overgrowth.
Contraindicated for individuals with a history of ulcerative colitis, regional enteritis, or antibiotic-associated colitis. Topical use can rarely cause pseudomembranous colitis.
Prolonged monotherapy may lead to bacterial resistance. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends combining with benzoyl peroxide and limiting use to 12 weeks.
This formulation does not contain retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreens — making it suitable for sensitive and reactive skin types.
Should be prescribed with caution in atopic individuals (those with asthma, hay fever, or eczema). Patch testing is recommended if you have a history of skin sensitivities.
Clindamycin has neuromuscular blocking properties. Use with caution if taking neuromuscular blocking agents. Antagonism exists between clindamycin and erythromycin — do not use concurrently.
Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSClindamycin Phosphate 1%Proven
A water-soluble prodrug that rapidly converts to active clindamycin in vivo. Works as a bacteriostatic antibiotic by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit, blocking protein synthesis in C. acnes bacteria.
- Mechanism: Inhibits bacterial protein synthesis at the 23S RNA of the 50S ribosomal subunit
- Clinical Data: 12-week studies showed significant reductions in pustule counts vs. placebo, with ~90% of patients showing improvement
- Concentration: Equivalent to 10 mg clindamycin per mL — the standard FDA-approved therapeutic dose
- Absorption: Serum levels remain very low (0–3 ng/mL) with less than 0.2% systemic recovery
Cetearyl Alcohol 2.5%Emollient
A mixture of cetyl and stearyl fatty alcohols that functions as an emulsifier and emollient. Helps create a smooth, spreadable lotion texture and prevents water-oil separation in the formula.
- Function: Emulsifier, texture enhancer, and skin-conditioning agent
- Safety: Non-toxic and non-irritating according to safety studies. FDA allows "alcohol-free" labeling with fatty alcohols
GlycerinProven
A powerful humectant that draws moisture from the environment into the skin, helping maintain hydration and strengthen the skin barrier. Offsets potential drying effects of the antibiotic.
- Function: Humectant, skin protectant, and moisture-binding agent
- Benefit: Helps prevent the dryness and peeling commonly associated with topical acne treatments
Glyceryl Stearate SEEmulsifier
A self-emulsifying form of glyceryl stearate that stabilizes the lotion formula, allowing the oil and water phases to remain uniformly mixed. Also provides a smooth skin feel.
- Function: Self-emulsifying agent and texture modifier
- Note: Contains potassium monostearate for enhanced emulsification
Methylparaben 0.3%Preservative
A widely used antimicrobial preservative that prevents bacterial and fungal contamination in the product. Maintains shelf stability and safety of the lotion.
- Function: Antimicrobial preservative
- Safety: FDA-approved for cosmetic and pharmaceutical use at concentrations up to 0.4%
Sodium Lauroyl SarcosinateSurfactant
A mild amino acid-derived surfactant that enhances the cleansing and spreading properties of the lotion. Gentler than traditional sulfate surfactants.
- Function: Mild surfactant and conditioning agent
- Benefit: Helps the lotion spread evenly over the skin without excessive foaming
9 ingredients
Clindamycin Phosphate 1%, Cetearyl Alcohol 2.5%, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate SE (with Potassium Monostearate), Isostearyl Alcohol 2.5%, Methylparaben 0.3%, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Stearic Acid, Purified Water.
Where it fits in your routine
ROUTINEApply twice daily (AM & PM) after cleansing and toning. Wait 1–2 minutes for absorption before applying moisturizer. If using with benzoyl peroxide, apply at different times of day to reduce irritation.
How to use
HOW TO USECleanse Your Skin
Wash the affected area with a mild, soap-free cleanser. Rinse with warm water and gently pat dry with a clean towel. Allow skin to fully dry before application.
Shake the Bottle Well
Shake the lotion bottle vigorously immediately before each use. The formula may separate when sitting — shaking ensures uniform distribution of the active ingredient.
Apply a Thin Film
Apply a thin film of lotion to the entire affected area — not just individual spots. Cover the full area prone to breakouts (e.g., entire face, jawline, or back). Use clean fingertips to spread evenly.
Wash Hands & Continue Routine
Wash your hands after application. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, and broken skin. Wait 1–2 minutes, then follow with a non-comedogenic moisturizer and sunscreen (AM).

Frequently asked questions
FAQUse with caution. There are no adequate studies of topical clindamycin during the first trimester of pregnancy — it should only be used if clearly needed. Systemic clindamycin given during the second and third trimesters has not been associated with increased birth defects. For breastfeeding, it is unknown if topical clindamycin passes into breast milk, though oral and injectable forms do. If applied to the chest, care should be taken to prevent infant ingestion. Always consult your prescribing physician.
No. This lotion contains several ingredients that may feed malassezia yeast, including cetearyl alcohol (2.5%), stearic acid, isostearyl alcohol (2.5%), and glyceryl stearate SE — all fatty acid-based compounds. Additionally, prolonged use of antibiotics like clindamycin can disrupt the skin microbiome and potentially allow yeast overgrowth, which may worsen or trigger fungal acne. If you suspect malassezia folliculitis, consult a dermatologist for antifungal treatment instead.
Yes, but with care. Clindamycin lotion can be combined with retinoids (tretinoin, adapalene) — in fact, dermatologists commonly prescribe this combination. Apply them at different times of day to minimize irritation (clindamycin in the morning, retinoid at night). It can also be used alongside vitamin C serums and BHA/AHA exfoliants, though you should introduce products gradually to avoid over-irritating the skin. Do not use with erythromycin — antagonism exists between these antibiotics.
This lotion works well across most skin types. It is especially effective for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin due to its lightweight, non-greasy formula. The emollient lotion base is gentler on dry and sensitive skin than alcohol-based clindamycin solutions or gels. However, it is specifically designed for those with inflammatory acne (red, swollen pimples) rather than comedonal acne (blackheads/whiteheads).
Most users notice reduced redness and inflammation within 1–2 weeks. Significant improvement in acne lesion counts typically appears by 4–6 weeks of consistent twice-daily use. Full therapeutic benefits are reached at 8–12 weeks. Clinical studies showed nearly 90% of patients experienced improvement by week 12. Do not stop using the product early even if you see initial improvement — consistency is essential for maintaining results.
Apply after cleansing and toning, but before moisturizer and sunscreen. Cleanse your face, allow it to dry completely, then apply a thin film of the lotion to the entire affected area. Wait 1–2 minutes for absorption, then follow with a non-comedogenic moisturizer. In the morning, finish with sunscreen. If using benzoyl peroxide or retinoids, apply them at a different time of day to reduce irritation.
The comedogenic rating is approximately 2 out of 5 — considered low risk. The lotion contains cetearyl alcohol and stearic acid, which have mild comedogenic potential, but the overall formulation is designed for acne-prone skin. Most users do not experience pore clogging. However, individual reactions vary, so monitor your skin during the first few weeks of use. If you notice increased blackheads or clogged pores, discuss alternative formulations (gel or solution) with your prescriber.
Use this medication before the expiration date printed on the bottle. Once opened, keep the container tightly closed and stored at room temperature (20°C–25°C / 68°F–77°F). The 60 mL bottle, when used twice daily for the face, typically lasts approximately 1–2 months. Always shake well before use as the lotion can separate. Do not use if the product appears discolored or has an unusual odor.
Verdict: Clindamycin Phosphate Topical Lotion 1% by Padagis is a reliable, FDA-approved prescription antibiotic for treating mild to moderate inflammatory acne. Its emollient lotion base makes it gentler than alcohol-based solutions, and its simple 9-ingredient formula minimizes irritation. Clinical evidence supports its efficacy, with roughly 90% of patients seeing improvement within 12 weeks. However, it should not be used as a standalone treatment due to antibiotic resistance concerns — combining with benzoyl peroxide is strongly recommended. It is not suitable for fungal acne or comedonal acne, and requires a prescription. As an affordable AB-rated generic, it offers the same proven formula as brand-name Cleocin-T at a fraction of the cost, making it a solid choice within a dermatologist-guided acne treatment regimen.

Understanding Simple Alcohols
Alcohol ingredients are widely used in cosmetics and come in different types. For the most part alcohols are not problematic at all. However one type of alcohols, simple alcohols can be quite drying to the skin because it evaporates very quickly. This can cause irritation which can also lead to other skin complications. These alcohols should never be used alone on your skin, but combined with other cosmetic ingredients, they are normally without issue. However, for some people with sensitive and easily irritable skin, avoiding products with these simple alcohols may be beneficial. If you find your skin doesn't like these simple alcohols, then free feel to avoid them by looking out for the Alcohol-Free icon.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.
Note, that this does not include all ingredients part of the Silicone class of ingredients.
EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
