I have been using this for about 5 weeks now along with Retin A and my skin is the clearest it has been for almost a year. I can actually see that my skin is getting smooth and i don't remember the last time that it was that way. I get the occasional pimple but that is to be expected as both medications i am using are supposed to bring the acne under the skin to the surface. the difference with it and the other things i tried is that from first week i started seeing a difference

I was given Clindamycin in two forms—a gel and a foam. I've been on the gel for a good 6+ months now with very minor improvements. The foam burned my skin like whoa, so I just stopped using it after a week. No damage, though. As for affordibility, the gel was generic and cheap, but the foam was brand-name (Evoclin) and supposedly is expensive. I was given samples.

i cant really attribute this to clindagel 100 percent because i am also on differin and tetracyclin (which i feel is useless), but my acne is GONE...ive been on the medication for three weeks now and haven't had a pimple in 5 to 7 days...still going!

clyndamicin really worked for me...
I used to have really bad acne, and when I was first prescribed clyndamicin after three days my acne cleared up completely.
I did not have anything on my face.
I was so happy because I have been searching for a good medicine..
I am also allergic to benzoyl peroxide, so the fact that clyndamicin did not have any, I was very very happy.
I usually get a pimple, but not balck heads or boils.
Thank God!

Heres what I have to say about Clyndamycin.

Now, mine comes in liquid form, has a little head that disperses it. Its not a gel. It wreaks of alcohol, burns when applied for the first minute, and dries quickly.

PERFECT.
I've been using this since I was 15 years old. Im 20 now. Originally this product came in a white bottle with a green label; This product was actually my personal favourite, you only applied it once a day in the morning and it was FABULOUS.

Over the past two years theyve been providing me with a white bottle with a yellow label. It doesnt work nearly as well, but thats mostly because I forget to apply it twice a day.

Seriously, i've given bottles of this products to my friends. We had some of the most hideous faces youve seen. All of us now have been using it for years and have clear skin.
The occasional break out of course (nothing perfect), but beautiful skin.



You can wear make up over this product, and its easy to apply.
What more could you ask for?
