| Pros: | after popping my zit which you shouldnt do : I i applied this product and it dried it up. |
| Cons: | didnt work unless popped zit first |
| Bottom Line: | i wouldnt say this will totally clear up you face. I have used it after washing and it didnt do anything for me, unless i had popped the zit and then applied it. It would dry it up but I would still have a mark from the zit.
recommend if u r into popping your zits and then applying |

| Pros: | very efficient for acne, skin starts glowing |
| Cons: | once you stop usage, acne may reoccur |
| Bottom Line: | i used this product for 2 years without missing it for a day and I could se the improvement on a daily basis. I used this product with Benzac AC which was meant to peel off the skin. My skin couldn't have been better and all thanks to Clingard. However, once I came to France I had to stop usage and from time to time I can see some tiny pimples appearing which was not the case when I was using it. |

| Pros: | works well, affordable |
| Cons: | drys skin a little. results takes a little time. |
| Bottom Line: | I have cystic acne which got very infected within three weeks. My doctor gave me an antibiotic called doxycyclin for 15 days and clindamycin. I've been using it for 5 days and my skin has dramatically improved. I think getting the bacteria out of your system helps clear the skin. Clindamycin alone may be too weak for bad acne. |

| Pros: | Solution dabs on easily. Excellent when used before a BP treatment. |
| Cons: | Clinda. gel made my skin oily but the solution, which contains alcohol kept it from getting too bad. Probably should not be used alone as an acne treatment. |
| Bottom Line: | It helps but doesnt clear acne up on its own. |
| Recommended: | Yes |
| Usage: | Amanda has used this item for a few months. |

| Pros: | Worked good for the first 2 days |
| Cons: | It was working good, and i was happy.
but just like other medications i've tried, the acne slowly came back in the exact same places.
Made my skin very very dry and red as I kept using it. |
| Bottom Line: | Could work for you, I've read good things from some people.
But if you have sensitive dry/oily skin this is not for you. |
| Recommended: | No |

| Pros: | Purging (if that's considered a pro!) |
| Cons: | Oily skin |
| Bottom Line: | I'm 20 years old and have been suffering from mild but persistent acne for the past few years. I also get light break-outs on various parts of my back. I've tried a slew of OTC products, none of which really gave me the results I was looking for. I finally went to a derm last week and this is the regimen she prescribed me:
AM
-Ovace wash (RE10 for the generic)
-Cleocin T lotion (Clindamycin Phosphate 1% for generic) and Vanoxide HC lotion, which is a combo of 5% BP and 0.5% hydrocortisone
-non-comedogenic moisturizer (I bought Cetaphil with SPF15 but haven't needed it yet as my face is oily from the regimen)
PM
-non-medicated soap (I bought Dove)
-Atralin gel
I've been doing this for 3 days and have noticed my face is purging out pimples, which the derm said is normal. She said as long as I stick to the regimen religiously, my skin should clear in a few months. I've been using oil-absorbing sheets to combat the oiliness. Wish me luck!!!!! |
