Bottom line You won't really notice a difference. Especially considering I haven't seen very many people who use it by themself. I just started using Doxycycling and TRetinoin with it and we will see how it goes. I only have moderate acne so it isn't too bad. I am actually not quite sure what the Clindamycin is supposed to do. I am assuming it is some kind of lotion since it is in a gel form. Ask your doctor.

Pros Great partner in three front war
Cons None, but a bit worried about developing immunity.
Bottom line I got tired of trying every over-the-counter gizmo and goop out there. I spent nearly 1K and it was all a waste. I was prescribed this medication and am using it in conjunction with Differin. I had no "purging" thanks to the Clindamycin. I don't either medicine would work well all alone. Acne is a three front war: Cleanse, exfoliate, and kill bacteria. I exfoliate with Differin, and kill bacteria with Clindagel and use only a very gentle AHA cleanser (from Frownies). I can now use sunscreen without breaking out -- and I really need it since using Differin. Anyone dissatisfied with their results should ask their doctor about adding an exfoliant to their treatment. If an immunity to the clindamycin develops, I believe there are other prescription bacteria killers (such as Klaron) which could take its place.
Price paid $50.00

Pros Stabilized my condition, stopped the really big pimples
Cons Didn't make my acne any better. I have more pimples now, and in more/bigger areas of my face.
Bottom line I've soon used this medication for a year, and I haven't really noticed any improvement.

Pros Worked well when first started using it.
Cons Made skin oily, stopped working after a month or two.
Bottom line It works well for those who don't have oily skin; but if you have oily skin and use it, it may stop working after a while.
Price paid $33.00

Pros really easy to use with little or no side effects. helps clear up acne really quick and fast.
Cons made my face a little dry.
Bottom line it works for exactly what it is supposed to do and because the dryness on my face is so minimal, i can just use a light moisturizer.

Pros It keeps me from breaking out and rids my skin of any new pimples pretty easily.
Cons I still experience breakouts on my shoulders when I get too much sun.
Bottom line I would definitely recommend this medication if you have acne...but protect yourself in the sun!

Pros Best topical cream I have ever used. Cleared up my face and is not drying.
Cons None
Bottom line I have been seeing dermatologists for years. Accutane finally got rid of my severe acne and reduced my breakouts by 90 percent. To control the remaining acne still left I tried just about every cream on the market. Most did nothing and irritated my skin making my face all red and dry. I finally started using Duac Gel which is 5 percent benzol peroxide and 1 percent clindamycin. It did not dry out or irritate my skin at all. I barely get any breakouts now and my skin looks the best it has looked in years.
Price paid $125.00
