I was prescribed something with clidamycin in it, called benzaclin- I have used it for over 4 months now, and all of the acne on my face is gone, but i cant use it every day because it dries my skin very quickly. It also took away all of the acne on my back. Very inexpensive- I pay 10.oo a refill.( It also got rid of the the blackheads, and the excess oils i had on my face !)

I use this every morning, and it really seems to help. It never dries my skin up, and it helps reduce redness to a degree. An important part of my acne regimen.

This stuff cost $50 (insurance cover anything that i need...of course not!) and seemed to actually make my skin worse. Before using this product I had some pimples but no blackheads. After about a week i noticed my nose has had tons of little black things in my pores. Gross!

I have used Cleocin T for years of and on. I have loved it. I began another trial about 6 months ago While it helped it did not do the job that it had been doing. I went to the dermatologist who told me that you must use a benzoyl peroxide with it so that you do not become immune. She gave me a product called BenzoClin which has both in it from what I understand. Hope this helps

I didn't notice much change. My pores were still clogged, still got blackheads, and zits didn't seem to dry out as fast.

I used this for 6 months and saw NO difference. I tried the pads and the gel. Nothing. I threw both of them in the trash.

I have been using Clindets for about 5 weeks now and have noticed a big improvement. I still have the occasional breakout but I find this works better then any over the counter medications I have tried. It does dry my skin out pretty bad so make sure you moisturize well. I have also been using the Loreal Microdermabrasion kit which is helping improve my skin as well.

This product didn't do much for my facial acne, but it actually cleared up my bacne in less than 2 months. After my tube ran out, I never refilled the prescription and the acne never came back. This was over 1.5 years ago.

This stuff is very greasy looking and smells even worse. It did nothing to improve my acne, and I have mild-moderate acne wich it is perscribed for. Also, in contribution with 2 other acne topicals (Differen & Tretinion) my face came so inflamed and red, I started to get rashes.
