There are presented the facts of the effectiveness of Clenzit gel (adapalene 0.1%) and Clenzit-C (adapalene 0.1% and clindamycin phosphate 1.0%) and an algorithm for the choice of drug depending on clinical and morphological features of the skin process that allows to optimize the treatment of patients with various forms of acne.
