Clindoxyl gel start inching and burning. (prescribed by doctor)
I recently started using Clindoxyl for acne, (Got it from my doctor) and I’m a bit unsure if my reaction is normal.
I’ve been using it for about 4–5 days now. When I apply it, my skin stings and feels warm/itchy – it’s most intense for around 10–15 minutes, then gradually calms down over the next 15–30 minutes.
My skin has also become quite dry already, especially on my cheeks In the first few days, I had a bit of mild swelling under one eye in the morning, but that seems to have gone away now.
I’m using a soothing moisturizer (Avène Cleanance Hydra) after applying it.
Does this sound like a normal adjustment phase, or is this a sign that my skin is too irritated and I should cut back?
