Veronica, Washington, DC Jun 30th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cheap, odorless, light weight, destroys bacteria that clogs pores and causes acne Cons: Wish I had this a year ago! Bottom Line: I love Benzaclyn! It has cleared all of the little bumps of acne on my cheeks and forehead. I have hormonal acne and breakouts, but this stuff does the job. Works way better than Retin A, and I've even stopped taking oral antibiotics because it's helped so much. Although I still have scars (which are fading), I do not always feel the need to wear concealer whereas before I wouldn't go to the gym without make-up on. Before my acne was moderately severe, but now it's down to light/moderate. Recommended: Yes Usage: Veronica has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Mimi, Canada Jun 30th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Definitely keeps the acne at bay; takes a couple of weeks to truly kick in, but that's how our skin is! Cons: If used too much it causes redness, dries, and if using too much it irritates the hell out of your skin! Bottom Line: It is a good prescription to get, but I'm running out, so I won't know what will happen when I stop using it... Recommended: Yes Usage: Mimi has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 23.00 Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Anonymous, Boston, MA Jun 29th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Has potential to clear up acne very effectively if used properly, applies clearly... Cons: Can lose effectiveness if not used properly, moderate drying of skin. Bottom Line: I've used clindamycin on and off for the past few years. When I initially started using clindamycin, it worked great and cleared up the vast majority of my acne. I stopped using it for a while because my breakouts stopped, however recently my acne has returned. I began using clinda quite frequently, 2-3 times daily, with no results. IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW, that clindamycin is an antibiotic, and like all antibiotics, must be used in moderation. I was using clindamycin so often, that I developed an antibiotic resistance to its effects. Do not use the medication too often. Use it once in the morning and once at night for about 2 weeks. Then stop for a month or so before trying again. Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for an inconsistent period of time.

Specs, Pakistan Jun 18th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Inexpensive Cleared up my face REALLY WELL. Nothing else was working and I had really stubborn acne before it. DOES NOT damage skin or change its texture... no flakiness or long term side effects Cons: It takes time... I used it for about two months when i noticed the pimples were'nt coming back. No difference overnight. Felt sweaty and greasy at first but even though I have REALLY oily skin, it balanced out within a week. Does nothing for sc Bottom Line: I would DEFINITELY recommend it. I've had acne for 10 years almost and nothing else worked as well. This time, I had the WORST adult acne ever and this worked awesomely even though nothing else was working. I use Skinoren for a week every month and I'm using Clearsil's super fine scrub (forgot the name) with Acne-Aid liquid facewash. The results are AWESOME. I was literally sinking into depression before thinking nothing's going to treat my stubborn acne but its almost gone now. The inflammation has all but disappeared.

laur, NYC Jun 15th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: reduces amount of pimples Cons: none Bottom Line: Clindamycin pledgets 1% topical antibiotic on a pad leaves my skin feeling clean. Even after you wash your face and then use these pads, you can still see residue that it takes off. it doesnt clear up my skin completly (nothing does), but it does reduce the amount of blemishes.

kelli, fresno, California Jun 15th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Made acne lessen and redness is still disappearing. a little bit of dryness but not a lot. but i use the clindamycin lotion so it doesn't try up. Cons: not very fast at reducing the redness but its better than anything i have ever used :) Bottom Line: use it once in the morning and once at night and it should work. don't over use it or you will get itchy or dry skin. Recommended: Yes Usage: kelli has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 100.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Remy, Madison, WI Jun 13th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: works well affordable easy to use Cons: none Bottom Line: this product really does its job. i use it for bacteria caused acne with another prescription called finacea and so far so good. :) Recommended: Yes Usage: Remy has used this item for about a month.

Anonymous Jun 12th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: not sure seeing as i've used this product in conjunction with tretinoin cream. Cons: didn't agree with my oily skin. Bottom Line: for only $5 it was worth trying. this med. didn't seem to make my acne worse, but definitely didn't make it better. i think that it may work better for those with less oily skin then me. give it a try.

Jenna, Huntsville, AL Jun 9th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Reduced the Size of pimples. Also reduced Redness in my T-zones Cons: Made face oily. Excessive Sweat. Dried out lips. Sensitive to Sunlight. Bottom Line: I applied it once in the morning and right before bed. I have not seen AMAZING results. I used Proactiv and saw quicker and better results but I built up a tolerant level to Proactiv. I was also prescribed an oral anti-biotic to jump start the diminishing of my acne which I believed helped more than the lotion. Recommended: Yes Usage: Jenna has used this item for about a month.
