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.

Pros works for the time being...
Cons it works short-term only. it's very possible to work up a resistance to it.
Bottom line don't use this, there are other products on the market that will make you feel better and get better results.

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.

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!!!!!

Pros cures acne...temporarily
Cons antibiotic resistance
Bottom line I used clindamycin (Dalicin?) from fall 2003 till about the summer of 2005. In that period of time, not only did my skin clear up. but I led a whole different lifestyle. However, that all came crashing down that summer when I found out the reality of antiobiotic resistance. I am interested in trying the product again; it's 3 yrs later and I still haven't outgrown my acne, so i want to give it one more shot because this time I am prepared for antibiotic resistance. The only thing is, since my skin's been resistant to it in the past, will it still wrk at the same level as it did before? I'm assuming it will since I havent used the product on my skin in 3 yrs, but lets see. My plan for this time is to use it for a year, (hopefully) get clear and switch to benzamycin, which elso worked for my skin. I'll use that for a couple of months, and then switch back to clindamycin again.
