Pros:Made face smooth and hydrated. Prevented new breakouts which in turn helped me treat the current breakouts. Within 2 weeks my face was almost clear with the occasional red spot or two.
Cons:Was told it would work on bacne as well but it did nothing for that, but if you just want it for your face it's good.
Bottom Line:I would recommend this product if you have mild to moderate acne on your face. This alone won't work and I would suggest pairing it with a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide cleanser. It can take a while to work, but just stick with it because your skin really will feel softer and smoother if you do.

Pros:It's wonderful, and wroks so quickly. I remember using it Friday, and waking up the net day with beautiful glowing skin, after my face was just a nightmare the day before.
Cons:The only con I can think of is that it makes your face a bit greesy, but not too bad.
Bottom Line:Use this...Request it, actually. My doctor hooked me up, and it is something I know I can rely on!
Recommended:Yes

Pros:This product did not irritate my skin at all. In combination with tretinoin it works pretty well.
Cons:I am using the solution and it smells kinda funky.
Bottom Line:I have used everything and the current treatment seems to be the only thing that has worked for me. I am using tretinoin .05% cream in the morning and clindamycin 1% solution in the evening. I have used both products separately before but didn't have such good results. I still have some acne but it isn't nearly as bad as it was and I have only been using the combination treatment for about a month.

Pros:Helped the acne go away
Cons:A little drying, a daily moisturizer is needed every day
Bottom Line:I used a Clindamycin Phosphate topical gel 1% with Benzoyl Peroxide Gel 5%, and both worked wonders for my face. I tried Proactiv, Clean and Clear, AcneFree, Clearasil, Neutrogena, St. Ive's, and none really worked for my skin. With these products, the acne pretty much went away, and one pimple or two pimples come back every now and then. Ask your doctor for a prescription.
