Clindamycin Reviews

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!

I make comments on anoder page, but say I from Manila. That be a lie. I mistake. My bad, as say you. I'll from Europe. I live in Austria. Sometimes I visit Tower. You know - great big tall one - yeah, da Iffle Tower.

One day, lady walk me and say, "You haf many piimples." I say, "Danke." But now, I use piimple creme. I use clindameycin. It work well.

Now, I'll whole new man. I work confidence. I get ladies. It work well. My world open up. You use it as well. It work. Trus me.

Lives in Sweden so I've used a solution with 10 mg/ml... Called Dalacin.

Anyway, it cleared out my face really great. I had cysts and nodules, not that many, but deep... As I remember it I hardly had any non-inflammatoric acne.. Just on my cheek. However, after three months I couldn't keep using it, and these small whiteheads and etc appeared. It's been a few weeks since I stoped using Dalacin, and all my blackhead's have come back too, but I've just got a few inflamed pimples.. Hopefully I wont get any more.

Oh, and did I mention? My face loved it.. No sideeffects whatsoever.. Perhaps a bit dry, but compared to bp, wich I tried before, it was heaven! :D

My doctor said it would be about a 50/50 chance that the acne would come back post medication. I'll start taking it again in about a week... And hopefully get rid of the small pimples etc aswell.

But it worked, atleast for the moment. Worth a try..

clears up redness

Im 23y old and my acne has always been moderate. I've never suffered from cysts or anything, but I still had SEVERE confidence problems. I wouldnt leave the house. I would make up excuses to avoid socialising with my friends, going to uni and work and even meeting my boyfriend because of the state of my skin.
Was put on dianette in October 04 and it worked great for the first three months - no spots!! went on holiday and everything.
Just before my period my acne would flare up with a vengence. Doctor put me on Dalacin T lotion 2xday along with the dianette. Have been on it from January 05 and it hasent done a dam thing to help my skin.
I always seem to get the spots in the same place on my cheeks right beside my nose, and they cover all over. Theres no hiding them. Going to doctor tomorrow to see if she will put me on antibiotic tablets or something. Sick to death of acne stopping me from living my life!!!!

Worked great for the first year. I used it along with Diferin. All my acne cleared up, however, the effect has worn off. I think it stops working after a while as the acne finds ways to resist the antibiotic.

I used this product (0.1% in a lotion) for YEARS with Retin-a (0.05% cream). When it worked, it worked great! However, I noticed that its efficacy seemed to slip off around year two or so. So, for most of the treatment, I usually had on or two lesions on my face. Sure, they were small, but I wanted NONE. Good luck to all of you, and stay strong!

When I was about twelve(almost 15 now), I tried Clindamycin
with a very gentle Clearasil soap. It started out wotking
really well, and it felt really nice. But after a while it
just stopped, and it was just like I was putting really
watery cream on my face. Plus my skin started to get really
oily, wich I hate. I got it free though, 'cause our insurance covers a lot of prescriptions, but I wouldn't
recommend it, it just doesn't work that well.

PS. Also just found out that a lot of acne medications(Topical anyway) can go through your skin and cause some
serious conditions(Serious or fatal colitis, Cushing's syndrome etc.).

Cleared up my chin/jaw within a month, doesn't stop skin getting oily, but does stop oils causing spots. A really nice product, great for mild/moderate cysts.
The only side-effect has been that my skin can burn in the and dry-out in the sun easily, so remember the sunscreen people!

I thought it worked for thr first 6 months or so, but I haven't noticed any change in facial or body acne for a while. I think it stopped working. I was using clyndamycin by itself 2x day.
