I used this product (0.1% in a lotion) for YEARS with Retin-a (0.05% cream). When it worked, it worked great! However, I noticed that its efficacy seemed to slip off around year two or so. So, for most of the treatment, I usually had on or two lesions on my face. Sure, they were small, but I wanted NONE. Good luck to all of you, and stay strong!

When I was about twelve(almost 15 now), I tried Clindamycin with a very gentle Clearasil soap. It started out wotking really well, and it felt really nice. But after a while it just stopped, and it was just like I was putting really watery cream on my face. Plus my skin started to get really oily, wich I hate. I got it free though, 'cause our insurance covers a lot of prescriptions, but I wouldn't recommend it, it just doesn't work that well.
PS. Also just found out that a lot of acne medications(Topical anyway) can go through your skin and cause some serious conditions(Serious or fatal colitis, Cushing's syndrome etc.).

As of now I have moderate going on severe acne. I am using Zoderm 8.5% cleanser which dries out the skin horribly, also use Benza-clin(aka Duac)terrific for open and closed comedoes)and regular acne vulgaris but quickly dries your skin! in the morning (clindamycin 1%, Benzoyl peroxide 5%) works great but does add to the drying effect to Zoderm. I use cleocin-T pledgets, I take Doryx 100mg(doxycycline), then at night I wash with Zoderm and use retin-a 0.025%. The retin-a has not been a success yet but is ok. A 5 on a scale of 1-10 Benzaclin definitly a 9. I think the creams containing an antibiotic and benzoyl peroxide (benzamycin,benzaclin,benzamycin pak,rosula) are the best solution for keeping acne under control. Or just an antibiotic as a cream (eryderm,cleocin-t phosphate,sulfur). My best treatment was probably Glycolix 15% wash, Duac gel,Tazorac cream.
