How much does clindamycin benzoyl peroxide cost?
Prices for clindamycin benzoyl peroxide vary mainly by:
- Whether you’re buying a brand-name product or a generic
- The product strength (the combination is typically sold as a topical gel or lotion)
- Your pharmacy location and whether your insurance covers it
- The size of the tube/bottle you buy
Because costs change frequently by market and product, you’ll usually get the most accurate number by checking your exact product at the pharmacy or with an online pharmacy price search using the specific strength and package size.
What are common brand vs generic options?
Clindamycin benzoyl peroxide combination products are often available as generics at lower cost than brand equivalents, but the exact availability depends on your country and what formulation you need (for example, gel vs lotion and the % strengths).
If you tell me the exact product name (or strength) and your location (country/zip), I can help narrow down what to expect and what to ask for at the pharmacy.
Are there coupons or savings programs that reduce the price?
Most savings usually come from:
- Generic switching (if you’re currently on a brand)
- Pharmacy discount programs or price-matching
- Manufacturer coupons (when available) or patient assistance programs for eligible patients

If cost is high, what cheaper alternatives might work?
If your main goal is acne treatment and cost is the priority, typical alternatives to ask a clinician/pharmacist about include:
- Using clindamycin alone plus benzoyl peroxide as separate products (sometimes cheaper, depending on local pricing)
- Different acne topical combinations (depending on what you tolerate and what’s covered by insurance)
Switching products can change irritation/dryness and effectiveness, so it’s best done with guidance from a pharmacist or prescriber.
Quick check: what exact product are you asking about?
Reply with:
1) product name (or a picture of the label text),
2) strength (percent clindamycin and percent benzoyl peroxide),
3) form (gel/lotion/other), and
4) your country (and zip code if US).
Then I can give a more specific cost expectation and point you to the most relevant places to check current pricing.
