Clindamycin Reviews

clyndamicin works but it has to be used with other products i have used clyndamicin with alpha hidroxiacid gels it works better on me because it eliminate theside effects of clyndamicin such as extra oily skin now i have myskin 95% better than before

I love this solution! I have a tendancy to get those deep, painful pimples that lay underneath the skin on my chin. My dermatologist prescribed Clindamycin for me and I have not had a recurrence. Plus, if I feel one coming on (even acne on other parts of my face), I apply the solution and the next day is it gone. I highly recommend this medicine. I must note, however, that my skin never had irritation problems, so I apply it twice a day.

I had mild acne on my face and bad acne on my back due to PCOS. I was prescribed Clindamycin and Differin and was instructed to use one in the morning and one in the evening. Within a week my cystic acne went away but I was left with horrible red peeling skin. I continued to just use the differin in the evenings until that went away, and I started using the clindamycin again. Now, 2 months later my skin has completely healed. I no longer have bacne or pimples on my face. I have a few scars on my back but my face is glowing!

I have been on Clindamycin for about a month now, I swear it has made my skin worse. I am oily, I cant remember ever really having oily skin before. I am trying to decide whether to stick it out or try something else. I am getting new whiteheads every day it seems like. Reading everyones conflicting ratings is making me waver even more. What should I do?

This along with spironolactone, worked wonders for me!

I never had acne as a teen and really didn't get it til i had my second child a few years ago. I am 29 now and i am just now seeing a big improovement in my skin. Like many, i have tried numerous meds and treatments to be dissappointed in the end. I have also had my face breakout more from some of them. The doctor i see now prescribed Clindets pledgets (the brand name, not generic)for me along with a wash called Triaz6% and brevoxyl 8. I also take a sulfur based antibiotic 2times a day. My skin was real dry in the beginning, but that is what helps acne stay away. Brand names are different from generics, although they can be expensive. My skin is so soft and smooth now as a result. The few dark marks i had are also going away just from the exfoliation the products cause. If you have tried clindamycin and had no luck, please invest in clindets pledgets.

I swear, it made my zits really red. Didn't do anything for me.

I've been on Differin lotion (nights), Clindamycin lotion (mornings), and Tetracycline (oral) for about a year and a half. I was on Accutane about 8 years ago and use this trio for minor acne that has returned. They all work well together provided you don't skip a day. I've found out that applying Differin and Clindamycin over abrasions or recent acne marks makes them much worse. By doing so I would have red spots on my face that could not be covered up for weeks. I found out that by skipping Differin and Clindamycin on those areas for several days makes my spots heal much faster. The dermatologist never told me I have red marks for so long due to the application of these meds! One downfall about the use of these three medications at the same time is that my skin is VERY sensitive.
