Clindamycin Reviews

I tried the Clindets. Used them for a long time...even though the alcohol in them set my woods on fire!!! This was when I was around 13 and my face was alot oilier...I wouldn't think of using them now, at the age of 18. I can remember that they worked alright though at the time.

I also tried the Cleocin T lotion. I remember it being very oily. But also working ok.

Both of these worked better than other topical antibiotics I had tried...

I used it for two months and it burnd my face.

I have used it alot myself, in the first month and it actually has made my skin alot calmer, and its seems to be working. Who knows what the after results will be? Hope it'll be good! ^__^

I was prescribed Clindagel (equivalent to 1% clindaymcin) for my facial and back acne. It worked WONDERS on my back, but my face, not so good. For the back I just applied it onnce a day after I showered. Not sure how long it took to work, but my back totally cleared up in time for summer, which is awesome. Now if only my face would follow suit.

I used this product for approx 2 months, it worked great in conjunction with benzoyl peroxide wash and retin-a at night. The best part about this product is, it kept my skin moisturized , its a really good lotion. Please try it, it takes time to work so do not expect overnight results.

This stuff is bloody awful. It stinks of chemical, and doesn't work. Granted thats only for my skin type, but hey - its minging stuff.

I am 33 and experiencing acne for the first time in my life; I have always had the occasional pimple or two, but my face has become utterly blanketed with tiny hard bumps. These "pimples" are not generally inflamed (red or painful), but my skin feels like it is infested--it also feels like there might be some strange message written in braille... I am using clindamycin in conjunction with adapalene. After one month of religious use (and an initial period of irritated and dry skin), my acne totally cleared up. However, I woke up one morning to have it all back. Recently, I have decided to wash my face very very gently (I use a non-soap cream cleanser without a washcloth or any other abrasive material) morning and night and to use adapalene in the evenings and to use the clindamycin only in the mornings--my dermatologist suggested using it morning and night, but I think this regimen aggravated my skin too much. I also use a moisturizing sunscreen (SPF 30) every morning to minimize skin damage and shedding. After two weeks of the gentler approach, I've started seeing a reduction in my bumps and have some hope. I don't think clindamycin is a wonder-drug by any means, but I think it can help. The key seems to be relaxing a little bit and avoiding the harsh cleansing measures that seem like a good idea when all you want to do is scrape your skin off in hopes that a totally fresh and clear layer will appear. I've decided that the "give it some time" approach that dermatologists recommend is probably the best way to beat this problem, even though it's a challenge to be patient. I wish everyone the best in the quest for clear skin...

I am a 25 year old female that has never experienced acne until I entered my twenties. I have mild to moderate acne, some papules and the occasional cyst that hurts a lot. My derm prescribed this for me and I saw no difference whatsoever. My skin remained just the same.

Between the ages of 15-17, I had acne pretty bad, mostly cheeks, lip area, etc. I went just fine without acne again until I was 23, and I was back at square one...except it was limit to only the forehead area. I've had bad acne on my forehead for 2.5 years, and every home remedy I tried just would not work. I switched shampoo, conditioner, hair styling (went to very short bangs), etc, and _nothing_ would work. I gave in and went to the doctor last month. At this point, it was somewhat better - maybe 5 whiteheads every week. I told the doctor about it and he prescribed this. I waited a month to see if the acne would go away on its own - it didn't. I filled this prescription 3 days ago. I applied it that night. The next morning I had no new acne. I've been applying it 2x a day since then...no acne. If you've been prescribed this, and are afraid about what other people are saying - don't be. It's been perfect for me. It's greasy for about 5-10 minutes after application but it's fine after that. Despite the warnings, I did not notice it "getting worse before it gets better". Don't hesitate, but don't get impatient.
It only costs $45 (walgreens), so anyone can afford it. Seriously, if you have to give up your beer/cigarettes/makeup for the week to afford it, do it!
