WHEN I FIRST START TO GET ACNE I USED PROACTIVE FOR 2 TO 4 WEEKS AND THAT DID NOT HELP I HAD MILD ACNE BEFORE AND ALL MY PIMPLES GOT WORST SO I DECIDE TO GO SEE A DERMATOLOGIST AND THE DOCTOR RECOMENDED AVITA CREAM WHICH IS USED AT NIGHT FOR ACNE AND THE CLINDAMYCIN SOLUTION WHICH IS USED IN THE MORNING AFTER YOU WASH YOUR FACE WITH A GENTLY WASH LIKE "PURPOSE" IT REALLY GETS THE DIRT OFF AND BENZOYL PEROXIDE. I STARTED TO GET RESULTS BUT AFTER AWHILE THE SOLUTION WASNT DOING ANYTHING OR THE AVITA SO I WENT BACK TO THE DOCTOR AND SHE SAID I SHOULD MOVE UP A STEP SO NOW I USE THE CLINDAMYCIN LOTION(MORNING) AND RETIN-A-CREAM(NIGHT) WHICH IS THE BEST MEDICINE OUT1 NOW I HAVE CLEAR SKIN I USE THE LOTION TWICE A DAY EVERYDAY LIKE IT SAYS AND ALONG WITH THAT I DRINK 8 GLASSES OF WATER EVERYDAY TAKE MY VITAMINS AND EAT HEALTHY NOW I HAVE GOOD PRETTY SKIN SO WHEN USING MEDICINES MAKE SURE YOU USE IT LIKE SAYS AND MAKE SURE YOU DRINK PLENTY OF WATER BECAUSE THATS THE SECRET TO HEALTHY SKIN! NOW NO MORE ACNE PROBLEMS

I got this dabber for your face, about 2% and I find that it makes no difference, am going to see if I can get a prescription for something else

Did not work at all and worst of all, it made me break out in a horrible rash that lasted for at least 3 weeks after discontinuing use. I would never recommend it to anyone.

Didn't work at all.

I started using clindaymcin (Cleocin-T Pledgets) when I was 12 and it worked fine to clear the occassional pimple or blackhead for a couple years. When I turned 14 my skin got oiler and I started getting more pimples. So, my derm. added 2.5% BP to the regimin and my face no longer had any whiteheads, blackheads, or anything! As I head into my mid twenties, breakouts are still a problem if I don't use the BP at least once a day, but dryer skin forced me to switch to an alcohol free version of clindmaycin called ClindaMax Gel. This has helped a lot. No more breakouts, or dryness with ClindaMax in the morning and 2.5% BP gel at night! With clindamycin, you just have to find the right gel, lotion, or pledget to fit your needs!

DUAC(CLINDAMYCIN/B.P.).........IT SUCKS! It totally didn't work for me. Try Klaron lotion please, it really is better. It's great for stopping papules. Clindamycin is supposed to stop the red bumps but it doesn't for some reason. Perhaps the bacteria are getting very very accustomed to clindamycin antibiotics.

This medicament really helped ( pure skin now ) sixty year old man with his long lasting acne problems.

Drug is used directly to skin, anything is to be swallowed.

Infammationned places on cheeks disappeared after one month. Amount of fat secreted out of skin is not increased. Medicament doesn't have noticeable effect to bacteriums in bowels as drugs swallowed have. Thikness of skin is not going to be attenuated.

Use of drug is limited to 3 month. Anyway bacterial strain was at last completely changed.

Medicine is in finland sold with name dalacin and produced by pharmacia. Dalacin contains only clindamycin as really effective medicament, 10 mg/ml. In the dalacin isn't anything to dilute skin, e.g. benzoyylperokside.

I started using Clindamycin for acne on my chest. Not only did it not help, but I developed a serious case of pseudomembraneous colitis. Evidently this is something usually associated with antibiotics, and I told the Dr. I wasn't taking antibiotics. I forgot that I WAS ......only it was not orally...it was being absorbed thru the skin. Come to find out, that Clindamycin is THREE times more like to cause this colitis than any other antibiotic. Be very careful with this if you are prone to any type of IBD or irritable colon.

Clindamycin is not helpful for acne. It's cheap but its a waste of money. OTC medications work better than this stuff. If a doctor tries to perscribe you clindamycin, run and ask for spironolactone instead.

Works magic, started out with differin, then added clindamycin. Now I only use clindamycin, perfect!
