Didn't make acne any worse, but didn't make it better either...

This was the only thing I ever tried that made my skin completely clear. I took it for a year without any other meds or anything and I was 100% clear. Once I stopped using it, though, my acne returned full force. Sadly, I think my skin is now immune to it because it doesn't work nearly as well. But if you need a quick fix and you've never used it before, I'd highly recommend it.

Clindamycin helped initially when I first started using it, but after awhile I feel my skin got immune to it and I stopped purchasing it. I would recommend The Nature's Cure regimen, it has worked well for me. I do not have major acne, but its problematic for me considering I am 22 years old.

This helps my acne in conjunction with other products, but only oral antibiotics really clear and prevent those large cystic type pimples. Benzaclin has Benzol Peroxide and Clindamycin in one cream. When I get resistant to my oral antibiotic (Ex. Minocin) my Dr. switches me to Bactrim for a while, which works as well.

Didn't work as well as any over-the counter product I've used.

It worked pretty well while I was on it.
I used along with Benzoyl Peroxide and my face cleared up for awhile. I still had a pimple hear and there while I was ont it but break outs were minimal.
I like using this, but you usually need to use it with another medication for it do really be able to work effectively.

Two years i have used it and alone it does barely anything. Only when combined with minocin did I see results. But I developed a tolerance for minocin and now that doesnt help.
