Do you use a moisturiser? Your skin may be dehydrated and stripped that can lead to break outs

yes sometimes depending on the situation, but these breakouts they start as very tiny bumps and then suddenly grow to these huge almost cystic type of pimples

Aside from adding a non-comedogenic or oil-free moisturizer, you might also want to switch out your Clindamycin. It is possible that you've developed resistance to it since it is an antibiotic.
I was using a Clindamycin cream last 2019, and my skin did get better. However I had a worse breakout in 2020 (plus maskne). My then derm recommended benzoyl peroxide since I might've already been resistant to Clindamycin. I'm not sure what you can change it for in this case since you're already using benzoyl peroxide.

so using benzoyl peroxide along with clindamycin is shown to prevent resistance, which is why I use that at night, and the other in the morning

i totally agree with the need to use moisturizer, especially if you use benzoyl peroxide. BPO could be very drying and at the same time it can destroy your skin barrier making your skin more sensitive and acne prone. i suggest you apply a good amount of moisturizer and layer it with your BPO as a spot treatment. remember to use your BPO only at your pimples not all over the face

ohh I was told to put a thin layer all over, isn’t putting it only where a pimple appears counterproductive? i do use it as a spot treatment too.. I mean the point is to prevent the pimple from appearing right ?

previously I used 1% clindamycin gel but my acne didnt get any better, then I changed to erythromicin and my acne was getting better. usually clindamycin worked for my acne but maybe my skin became resistance with the formula.
