Brief Summary  

Topical combination of adapalene and clindamycin is used routinely in the management of acne. Adapalene is associated with adverse effects such as redness and drying of the skin and hence, controlled delivery systems are clinically useful in reducing these. Polymer technology consists of hydro-swelling droplets which imbibe adapalene and clindamycin and release it slowly. Microspheres are a different technology consisting of inert, porous, spherical microparticles designed to entrap active ingredient. We aim to compare these technologies in their effectiveness and safety.
