Pros shortens the time length of a visible pimple
Cons drys out face REALLY bad
Bottom line the clyndimycin works pretty well. I apply it on a pimple andthe next day it is gone. I also get the pimplesthat hurtreally bad under the skin so i apply it on the pimple and the next day the hurting is gone. It reduces the pimple but still leaves it red for a bit. My chin has been bumpy for forever now, nottoo bad anymore but it used to break out about twice a week!!

Pros Doesn't over-dry or clump up with moisturizer.
Cons Seems to lose effective over time.
Bottom line I had really bad skin in my teens, which cleared up in my 20s, now I've got a moderate adult acne in my 30s. I first used this a few years ago in conjunction with retin-A, which I couldn't stand because of how much it dried out my skin. When I dropped the retin-A, my skin was great for awhile. After trying Dan's regimen for about a year, I went back on clindamycin. It doesn't seem to work as well as before, but I prefer it to BP because it is less drying. Sometimes I use a little BP with it to spot treat; that seems to work ok. However, I'm not convinced that my complexion is much better than it would be if I wasn't using any medication. Perhaps alternating it with BP is worth a try?

Pros Cleared my skin Quickly. Saw results in the first week. After 2 weeks, hardly ever a pimple on my face or back!
Cons Yeast infections that were hard to cure. I've never had yeast infections before taking this.
Bottom line It worked great for me! I had no side effects other than the yeast infections. It didn't make me sunburn easily like the cycline products do, which was a blessing as I love gardening. The cycline products made me burn so badly! I would recommend this if you are a guy and can't get the infections or females who are not prone to them.

Pros Helped my forehead; made my skin less oily; absorbs well into skin
Cons Didn't help my chin
Bottom line I used Clindagel alone for 2 weeks and it fixed my forehead within days. Now I use it together with Differin, to try to fix the rest of my face too. I still have chin problems, but the rest of my facial skin looks smoother and more radiant. I have noticed some of the blackheads on my nose going away and the pores are getting smaller. I didn't think that would ever happen.

Pros works well in some areas, but not in others.
Cons drys out skin pretty bad
Bottom line still iffy on this product, it seems to only work in certain areas of the skin, and it drys those areas out, so the skin ends up irritated anyway.
Price paid $7.00

Pros Helps to dry out ance quickly
Cons smells bad
Bottom line I've had moderate to severe cystic acne since I was 13 years old, I am now 23 years old, I've been taking this medication in liquid form along with a pill form of an antibiotic. These two together have dramatically helped my skin clear up. I have to use it twice daily, cut down on make-up (just a light powder), and what has also helped is taking a shower in the morning and one at night , let the hot water run on your affected acne areas, then use the medication, it seems to clear them up almost instantly, or at least overnight.
Price paid $29.99
