How do I switch from another acne treatment to Acne formula?

Switching plans depend on what you use now and how your skin is tolerating it. Tell your prescribing physician about every acne medicine and skin product, including oral antibiotics, isotretinoin, retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, and exfoliating acids. Share the strength, how often you use it, and when you last applied or took it.

Do not layer Acne formula over your old prescription unless your physician specifically tells you to. This gel already contains clindamycin and tretinoin. Overlapping antibiotics or retinoids may be unnecessary, and multiple active products can add irritation. There is no single waiting period that fits every switch. Your physician decides whether a pause or a different starting schedule is needed.

Follow the new pharmacy label and ask which products to continue, pause, or stop. Mention any recent waxing, peels, sunburn, or skin rash before starting. A licensed physician in your state decides if Acne formula is appropriate. Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed pharmacy for one patient and are not FDA-approved.
