Cons none
Bottom line cheap, the lotion works the best for me, it is white and very runny, they didnt have it in stores so i went to phamacy and they told me they have to make it themselves.

Pros It doesn't irritate.
Cons It does not. do. anything. I used it for two months every single day on my face and on my back. Absolutely nothing happened. Then I went back to it and used it for a few weeks. Nothing.
Bottom line I have fougera Clindamycin Phosphate Gel USP 1%. I don't know if it is just this brand that is so ineffective, but this product is completely useless. I just use it for the sake of using an acne product when you have acne. I tried the Clinique Acne solutions (Salycilic Acid) and nothing happened. this is the only thing I can use because I developed an allergic reaction to Benzoyl Peroxide right in the middle of my use of it.

I've heard mixing Clindamycin with something else works. Try that

Pros Works very well at clearing up all the little pimples and drying out the bigger ones
Cons Makes your face kinda itchy and oily. The solution smells like alcohol.
Bottom line Well for me, this worked a few days after i began using it. I put it on my face 2 times a day along with the Tretinoin cream at night. Cleared my face up completely in about a month. I still use it to prevent any more acne from showing up.

Pros When paired with Tretinoin Cream .1% it works.
Cons Have to use it every single day. If you stop, the acne comes back. Also, after 1-2 years of use, my acne developed a resistance to this, and I had to switch to another medication.
Bottom line I used Clindamycin gel by applying a thin film to my face in the morning and at night I would apply a thin film of Tretinoin Cream 0.1%. It took about 3 weeks to see results, but eventually all my acne went away. I was clear for a period of 1-2 years, but then my face started building a resistance to the medication, and the acne came back. I find that with these prescription medications, they will work for about 1-2 years and then they stop working, so I have to switch from one to the other.

All these dermatologist prescribed medications do work, but they do not cure acne. They just temporarily mask it. You have to use them on a consistent basis every day, or your acne will come back. Right now, I have stopped taking all these and I am trying natural methods such as taking probiotics and fiber supplements to see if I can get to the root of the problem.

Pros Makes Blackheads smaller, leaves your face feeling cleaner, Easy to pack, use and works pretty well on short notice. Diminishes redness of T-zone
Cons For me, at least, I find the pledglets smell unpleasantly, and they make my face red and somewhat sting if I've overused them. I've switched to a different brand of pledglets, and all of the above is nicely diminished.
Bottom line The pledglets are good; a bit rough if you have sensitive skin like me. If you do, you can use it once a day, or once every other day. They make your face shiny, and clean, so I use it at night. If I feel a breakout coming on, or my nose is getting clogged with blackheads, I use it, and by morning, it's shrunk the spots.
I've been using it for two years, but consistently for a year.
My acne used to be pretty severe sometimes-- I also use Differen and pills, so I'm not sure what part the Pledglets play, but I do know that they are handy and convenient to have.

Pros Benzaclyn is the way to go and now they give you more with a attachable pump. Absorbs well in the skin
Cons Expensive if no insurance, but worth it,
Bottom line I have used this med for about 3 years consistently and NOTHING I mean nothing worked better. I was on everything from Ceplex, to drugs to treat TB! All of this for a breakout on my chin! I still have minor breakouts in the area, but using Benzaclyn daily keeps them from actually forming. Now I do not have to "pop" anything. I have less scars, because of this.

Benzaclyn is truly the best and I suggest using only the Brand name and nothing else. I love this med!! I just purchased my refill yesterday!!

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.

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...
