Will Clindamycin Phosphate and Benzoyl Peroxide Gel Stain Clothing?

Hi members,

I have a new question: Will Clindamycin Phosphate and Benzoyl Peroxide Gel stain clothing? I've recently started using this medication and I'm concerned about potential stains. Could you please share your experiences or any tips to prevent staining? Thank you in advance for your help!

Clindamycin Phosphate (Cleocin T Gel) doesn't stain or bleach clothes and can be worn to bed, as it is not irritating to the skin or eyes. The clear gel leaves no visible trace behind and does not feel greasy or oily.

Benzoyl peroxide, on the other hand, leaves unsightly orange stains on nearly everything it touches. There is no way to prevent benzoyl peroxide from bleaching. If it comes into contact with your fabrics, it will stain. The best course of action is to prevent the medication from coming into contact with your fabrics in the first place.

Prescription cream or ointment acne medications may contain Azelaic acid (also known as Heptanedicarboxylic acid or Lepargylic acid), which will also cause bleaching of fabrics.
