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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pros Amazing as base ingedient in super compound! Ask your doctor to look up this compound and prescribe along with 100mg MINOMYCIN.
Cons Expensive!!! I pay $40 per 60g compound! I hate paying so much money for it, but nothing else is as effective as this preparation.

It's also hella itchy and the oral minomycin may stop working after prolonged use...
Bottom line CLINDAMYCIN 1% AZEL 4% KOJIC ACID 1% BENZAC 5%...

Apply all over face twice daily! Dries out existing pimples and prevents new ones when used along with the oral anti-biotic. Results as soon as 3 days. Skin will be super sensitive to sunlight so you may want to avoid unnecessary sunlight exposure and shield your face. Use vaseline on lips as anti-biotic dries out lips too! Apply Bio Oil and then moisturize to lock in hydration!
