How Akend Products work
Adapalene + Clindamycin is a combination of two medicines: Adapalene + Clindamycin1 and Adapalene + Clindamycin2, which treats pimples (acne). Adapalene + Clindamycin1 is a form of vitamin A which prevents accumulation of the sebum (skin’s natural oil), unblocks the pores and allows natural exfoliation of the outer layers of skin. Adapalene + Clindamycin2 is an antibiotic which works by penetrating into the skin and killing acne-causing bacteria.
