| Pros: | Helped my forehead; made my skin less oily; absorbs well into skin |
| Cons: | Didn't help my chin |
| Bottom Line: | I used Clindagel alone for 2 weeks and it fixed my forehead within days. Now I use it together with Differin, to try to fix the rest of my face too. I still have chin problems, but the rest of my facial skin looks smoother and more radiant. I have noticed some of the blackheads on my nose going away and the pores are getting smaller. I didn't think that would ever happen. |

| Pros: | works well in some areas, but not in others. |
| Cons: | drys out skin pretty bad |
| Bottom Line: | still iffy on this product, it seems to only work in certain areas of the skin, and it drys those areas out, so the skin ends up irritated anyway. |
| Recommended: | No |
| Usage: | roy has used this item for a few weeks. |

| Pros: | Helps to dry out ance quickly |
| Cons: | smells bad |
| Bottom Line: | I've had moderate to severe cystic acne since I was 13 years old, I am now 23 years old, I've been taking this medication in liquid form along with a pill form of an antibiotic. These two together have dramatically helped my skin clear up. I have to use it twice daily, cut down on make-up (just a light powder), and what has also helped is taking a shower in the morning and one at night , let the hot water run on your affected acne areas, then use the medication, it seems to clear them up almost instantly, or at least overnight. |

| Pros: | Doesn't dry out the face, works reasonably well. |
| Cons: | leaves an "oily sheen" to face(tackyness, as others have observed), takes a while to work, can promote redness. |
| Bottom Line: | I've used this for over a year now. It's helped alot with not drying my face out which seemed to lead to huge breakouts, but has never cleared my skin completely. Also the effectiveness seems to have decreased over the past few months.
Despite not being 100% effective, my face isn't as bad as it used to be and while I wouldn't swear by it I'm not throwing it out in a hurry.
I say try it for two months minimum before coming to your own conclusion as it takes roughly a month before it takes full effect. |

| Pros: | my skin got better from the very first time i used it. tried differin afterwards and skin got bad, went back to clyndamycin and skin is okay again. |
| Cons: | still get pimples when working out. |
| Bottom Line: | try as many different products as you can handle, then stick with the one that works the best. there will probably not a product that will rid all your pimples BUT get the one that helps the most. |
| Recommended: | Yes |
