Hi,
Glintra gel contains clindamycin + allantoin + nicotinamide. None of these components cause roughness or dark skin.
Benzoyl peroxide gel and the acnestar soap may make the skin rough and dry. So glintra gel can be continued without any fear.
In winters generally our skin get dry. You must discuss with your treating doctor about the simultaneous use of acnestar soap and benzoyl peroxide gel. Also ask about the frequency of using the soap.
