I used it when I was 18 and it cleard my face like nothing else. I had geourgeous skin after that. However, I stopped using it for awhile and my acne came back. Now I have been on it for 14 days and have not noticed an improvement. I am worried that I have become immune to it and am looking for other options. If you have never used it before, you are probably not immune, and it will probably do wonders for your. Originally it cleared ALL my acne and made my face look healthy and clean. I loved it.

Hey I tried this for over 2 months, it somewhat cleared up my face. But it made my skin dry, especially my butt and penis. It caused major itching of the testicles. I got off that and now my doctor has me on Minocycline which is even worse.

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.
