Pros Helps clear acne without causing dry patches or irritation.
Cons Can't think of any.
Bottom line My mom reccommended this treatment because I've tried using just about EVERYTHING such as Differin, ProActiv, Murad etc. I began breaking out alot on my forehead and this really helped clear it. I use it once a day every night after my skin care regimen and I don't know what I would do without this! This has got to be my holy grail acne treatment.

Pros No stinging or redness. I felt no side effects.
It only has a very minor effect on acne, to be honest not even worth using it.
Cons I was on it for about 8-9 weeks and it wasn't worth the time, I wish I would have started roaccutane sooner!

Pros No drying, soft matte skin, no redness, no burns, peels scars & leaves no scars!
Cons Expensive, can't be bought over the counter.
Bottom line I think the product I've been using is a bit different (not too sure). Mine is Clindamycin Hydrochloride 1%. I finally got the courage to go to the doctor after dealing with not-very-good over-the-counter products. I was using Salicylic Acid for about a week. I saw slow improvements with Salicylic Acid. So I decided to switch to Benzoyl Peroxide. After a night, Benzoyl Peroxide assisted the acne to go away faster. It literally peeled off the unbearable dark spots left by acne and induced redness. The next day, I was a bit skeptical not knowing much about Benzoyl Peroxide so I went to my doctor to prescribe me acne treatment that was best suited for me. I was prescribed with Clindamycin Hydrchloride 1% lotion & Doxycycline Hydrocloride pills. It worked great! The pimples went smaller dramatically over a night of usage and scars still peeled off. These two products did not dry my skin at all! Gave me baby skin! I'm really ecstatic and would recommend it!

Pros It worked, but took almost the whole tube. Had all little bumps on my forehead and side of my face. Now I'm on Tretinoin and everything seems to be getting better.
Cons None
Bottom line It's is good, but I ran out and they gave me the tretinoin cream. I think both work good.

Pros Easy to apply, works well, and doesnt dry out skin. Oh, and super affordable ($5)!!
Cons Takes time.
Bottom line I have used EVERY THING, I mean everything. From all the stuff on the shelf at drug stores to all the late night commercials. Even ProActive. Nothing worked. Until I finally got fed up and got the insurance to go to the doctor. He proscribed me Clindamycin Phosphate Gel 1%. At first I didnt think it was working, but I was determined to stick with it. Now its been 4 weeks and I am very happy with it. The best thing about it is that it prevents acne from forming. I highly recommend this product. And hope that all those who feel like I did will use it too.

Pros Dries up pimples and prevents new ones. Affordable, with my insurance plan I only paid $15.
Cons Dries out skin and peeling may occur. Burns at first.
Bottom line I had a horrible break out with large painful bumps all over my cheeks and forehead. My dermatologist prescribed me clindamycin, retin-a, and doxycycline and my face has drastically improved in the past three days.

My skin and all the pimples dried out and peeled, which was really annoying and not cute. But underneath I had clear smooth skin. I like this regimen and I believe that overtime my face will completely clear up.

My doctor explained that the retin-a is meant to speed up cell turn over and make my skin peel so that my pores do not get clogged by dead skin cells. The doxycycline is meant to prevent the bacteria from forming under the skin so if a pore does get clogged it bacteria will not form in it and it won't turn into a zit. The Clindamycin is meant to kill off and prevent bacteria from forming on the skins surface.

I have not experienced any side effects besides the peeling which is expected. The prescribed regimen only costs me $45, which is totally
