Pros I use Clindamycin medicated pads (they look like "Stridex" pads) once a day after my shower and it keeps my severe acne to almost 0.
Cons At first it made me sensitive to the sun. I did get a mild rash when I would be out too long. Then the rash stopped. I recommend not using the product when you know you are going to be in the sun all day (like when I SCUBA dive).
Bottom line I have used this product for 2 years and it has worked great for me. My insurance covers it with a low co-pay. There are no creams and I did not have an upsurge of acne when I began using it (like I did with Retin-A).
Try the medicated pad form of Clindamycin I am very happy.
Price paid $5.00

Bottom line I've been using Clindamycin (lotion) only around the corners of my nose, where I had red bumps. It seemed to work at first but now I have red spots that won't go away. The skin seems burned. My experience was not good and I will discontinue using it now. I'd rather have a few bumps in that area than red splotches.

Pros didn't make skin worse
Cons just made my skin the stay the same, no breakouts, or new pimples, but no improvment either
Bottom line I have used clindamycin for about 6 months, and have been hoping for a change, but still my acne is the same, no improvment what so ever. However, it did not make acne worse.

Pros Works well in terms of ridding the skin of milia-type bumps and larger cysts.
Cons Horrendous abdomninal pain and bloating meant that I had to stop using it after three months.
Bottom line If you have a sensitive stomach, avoid.

Pros Works great. Side effects are very minimal especially when compared with some others.
Bottom line I use a product that is comprised of 5% Benzyl Peroxide and 1% Clindamycin. It's a gel and it works very well. I had moderate acne and it all disappeared within a month and stayed that way for over a year (I stopped using it after a while). The acne came back so then I tried it again and it still worked great. Highly recommended. I would suggest getting the gel that contains the peroxide as well. The gel stays on my face well at night to maximize its effectiveness.

Pros Easy to use, packaged is pre measured. helps clear acne up fast
Cons Pricey
Bottom line I have been suffering from acne from the age of 12 (now 22). I had mild acne up until a year ago when my face broke out severly. I tried everything from Proactive (horrible), to every kind of product and everything made it worse. I finally went to the derm in December and he persribed me this (Cleocin Pledgelet Pads) along with Bactrim (an oral antibiotic to be taken morning and night) and Differin. The three together have made my face so clear. Yes, I have an occasional pimple here or there, but NOTHING like before. I also wash my face with the Glytone fash wash morning and night. Every time I feel a pimple coming on, I just go through my regimen and the next day I'm good to go! I would highly recommend this product to someone who thinks NOTHING will work!
