| Pros | This actually works Works under makeup Makes my skin "glow" Skin feels tighter |
|---|---|
| Cons | Dries out face |
| Bottom line | I use this cream with Retina, and the combination does wonders. I use clindamycin throughout my day (under my makeup), and I've definitely seen improvement! My skin glows better than ever, and feels tighter. When you first start using clindamycin, remember to use in moderation. DON'T USE IT EVERYDAY! My skin dried out so terrible that it hurt to move my face. I rubbed large amounts of an aloe vera oil all over the dry areas for days, and get a GOOD moisturizer. Advice: ALWAYS moisturize esp. around eyes and mouth area! |

| Pros | Clear, dries quickly Easy to apply Hardly a smell to it at all Does not affect make-up application |
|---|---|
| Cons | None |
| Bottom line | After putting this on my "no" list for my Derm due to the reviews on here, he prescribed it anyway. I'm supposed to be using it all over my face in the morning but have chosen to spot treat with it instead and it's working great! Clindamycin phosphate 1% lotion (but it's a clear liquid with a blotting applicator so not really lotion) in the morning; Sodium Sulfacetamide lotion 10% at night and twice daily Doxycycline 50mg is starting to work on my larger "eruptions" and no new ones. I noticed today they're starting to shrink very quickly. Perhaps due to the spot application (which is basically the entire bottom half of my face) I have not noticed any oily/greasiness. |

| Pros | Moisturized |
|---|---|
| Cons | Plugged up pores Made healing acne re-inflame |
| Bottom line | I am one of those people who pops their big ugly white heads and this stuff didn't seem to help the acne problem at all. If moisturized nicely but if I had a healing zit it would just re-clog it up. Maybe I was using a little too much, maybe not. Just my 2 cents. |

| Pros | Helped control breakouts |
|---|---|
| Cons | I developed pseudo membraneous colitis |
| Bottom line | I used this product for about a year and ended up with pseudo membraneous colitis, which is a known side effect. In the end, I lost fifteen pounds in a matter of about two month and thought I was dying because I constantly felt ill. I went through a few doctors before the diagnosis was made and it was a generally horrid experience. After I stopped using it, all of the symptoms went away after a short period. |

| Cons | Made skin even more oily |
|---|---|
| Bottom line | I have been using this cream for about 2 months now and i can honestly say it had no effect whatsoever on my acne. I applied it every morning before work and within that time being at work my face would produce even more oil then it already does. |

| Pros | -not expensive |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Made skin peel -Burned when it was applied -Made skin break out more -Made skin more oily |
| Bottom line | I wanted this product to work so bad. I have batteling acne for eight years. I had the liquid that came in a bottle with the applicator soft tip. Unfortunatly, this product made my skin worse than it already was. My skin would peel, which made the product burn my skin more when I put it on. I quit using it after 6 weeks because it was doing more harm than good. |

| Pros | Helped to stop the progression of my acne. It was getting worse and worse until I used this medicine. I am on my 2nd week of using the product and have moderate-severe acne, so it will be a while before I can say how well it has helped me. I am hoping for the best. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Drying- my face feels like sandpaper and moisturizers don't do enough. But I can live with that considering it is fighting my acne. |
| Bottom line | I wanted to let everyone know that this medicine is expensive if A) you don't have insurance and B) you purchase the name brand. BUY GENERIC! Don't let a pharmacy tell you that there is no generic for this medicine. That happened to me, and I almost paid $210 for one tube of medicine. Luckily I called my doctor and he told me they certainly make a generic version. |

Satisfied 100% from Minnesota

| Pros | Keeps skin nice and clear Light weight Good for sensitive skin |
|---|---|
| Cons | None so far |
| Bottom line | I've been using this for the past 5 months and my skin is really clear. I actually you this in conjuction to Clinique Acne moisturizer. I do use benzoyl peroxide when needed, but I've rarely had to since I started using this. But because my skin gets dry I've been using 100% pertrolleum jelly on my face when in the shower. I lather it on then rinse it off. I only do this once a week and it has helped keep my skin really nice and soft. I hope this does the same for you as it did for me. |

| Pros | Did clear up acne I loved the chilly feeling when applying it |
|---|---|
| Cons | made skin super oily lost effectiveness made skin dry |
| Bottom line | At first I experienced an initial breakout that lasted quite awhile. However my acne did clear up eventually. This product made my skin more oily than it has ever been and will make your face red. I stopped using it a week before my prom because I didn't want to have a red face :( after that I restarted it and it has never worked the same! I regret stopping it however I'm glad I found something else because I don't have to deal with the annoying side effects! |

| Pros | Works...at first. |
|---|---|
| Cons | The Clindamycin pledgets (pads) STINK to the point where I'll actually gag. |
| Bottom line | I used these for a year. They worked, at first, but then my acne came back. In all, they cleared up my face about 50% during the best time of my treatment. Now, I'm not quite back to square one...but I'm close. I'm giving us because of the horrible smell & the fact that I tend to waste about 20 pledgets because by the time I get to the bottom of the container, they're all dried out. Also, I've skipped so many random days without using them -- simply from being absent-minded -- and I think I've grown resistant to the antibiotic because of this. All in all, they're worth a try...but not if you need to pay for than about $15/mo for them. If I could go back in time, I'd ask my doctor for a cream version of the clindamycin instead. |
