Clindamycin pledgets are a topical antibiotic formulation designed to help treat and manage acne. Each pledget (pad) is pre-soaked in clindamycin solution, an antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis to reduce the amount of Cutibacterium acnes on the skin—one of the main contributors to acne development.
The wipe format provides a convenient, precise way to apply the medication directly to the affected area, especially useful for people managing breakouts across various parts of the face or body. Consistent use can help reduce inflammation, minimize pimples, and promote clearer skin over time.
This medication is often paired with benzoyl peroxide to reduce the risk of developing antibiotic resistance. Clindamycin topical pledgets may also be prescribed off-label for conditions such as rosacea under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
How to Use:
Cleanse and dry the affected area before application
Wipe the pledget across the entire treatment area
Use once to twice daily, or as directed
Discard pad after single use
More than one pad may be needed depending on area size
Warnings:
For external use only; avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes
Stop use if severe dryness, irritation, or allergic reaction occurs
