| Pros | -dries out pimples a little |
|---|---|
| Cons | -made my skin oily -didn't really clear up my skin that well -did not clear my body at all |
| Bottom line | i was prescribed the clindamycin phosphate lotion and it really didn't help my acne at all. i would wake up in the morning with very oily skin and my skin stayed oily throughout the day. i was prescribed it for my body acne, but could use it on my face, and i found that it did not help that at all. i'm switching over to benzoyl peroxide 10%. |

| Pros | -kill zits FAST |
|---|---|
| Cons | none for me |
| Bottom line | i don't use this very often because i don't get bad acne anymore. I use salycic acid daily. but when a pimple starts to form, i dab this stuff on, stops it right in its tracks! helps with my body-acne also, which is a bit worse than my face. i also have this condition where i sometimes get painful abscesses that will eventually turn into hard cysts that literally never go away unless i get surgery. this really helps to heal the abscess and greatly reduces the hardness, size, and gross-factor of the resulting cyst. this stuff, is MAGICAL. |

| Pros | Easy to use (especially the lotion.) I just use it at night and I don't have to worry about looking oily during the day. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Not 100% perfect, but I will happily take 98%. |
| Bottom line | This product works really, really well for me. I've been using it for a few years, and it keeps my face clear of cysts nearly all of the time. Every once in a while one will get through, but it is mostly clear. |

| Pros | Fast results Cheap Can wear under makeup Non-drying |
|---|---|
| Cons | My feel burning sensation upon application |
| Bottom line | I started Clindamycin treatment a little over a week ago. I apply it topically twice a day in conjunction with Benzoyl Peroxide. I know its still early into the treatment but I had to leave a review on the progress so far because I am so pleased with the results. It has cleared up my skin amazingly! I had terrible acne and blemishes that were so hard to control. First my MD put me on Tretinoin but it made my face so dry and peel like an onion. Then he switched me to Clindamycin and I love it! It completely takes away any painful inflammation. All of my pimples were about half their size two days later. My forehead is totally clear now and it was broken out just a few days ago. My skin is finally getting under control. Also, I tend to have extremely dry skin and this medication does not dry it out. |

| Pros | Works well and dries quickly (Reduced the amount of acne I had, and seems to be helping prevent new ones) |
|---|---|
| Cons | Smell (it's like a mix of rubbing alcohol and rubber) Bleaches clothes and sheets. Don't expect your pillow covers to retain the same color. Use the same ones (wash them regularly of course) so you don't constantly ruin new sheets. Made my skin dry and irritated some parts of my face (itchiness) |
| Bottom line | I used this in addition to EpiDuo and it definitely helped reduce my acne 10 fold. It feel cool when you apply to it, and I didn't really feel the stinging sensation others have mentioned. Other those side effect I think this worked really well |

| Pros | - Works and works fast - I like the tube it comes in, dries up fast and comfortable to keep on over night - Free since its a prescription!!!! |
|---|---|
| Cons | - Bleaches clothes or towels - Available by prescription only and only good for 4 months after opening |
| Bottom line | Ive been using treament gels for a long time now like benzoyl peroxide you can buy in stores the 5% ones. Which work well but this Clindoxyl gel (Clindamyncin phosphate and benzoyl peroxide) Is so amazing and so much better! You can only get it as a prescription well mine is a prescription... I have cystic acne that comes and goes and also have chest acne thats pretty bad. This will stop my acne from getting worse and will litterally heal my acne overnight. I do hate that it bleaches clothes I have to be very careful around new towels and new pjs.. But it works so thats why I use it. Cystic acne is very hard to get rid of and this stuff is the only thing that heals them fast! And its free since it was a prescription! And I cannot count how many usless acne products ive purchased through out the years!! |

| Pros | Clears active acne |
|---|---|
| Cons | Drying to skin, can irritate skin if skin gets too dry, if used with a moisturizer, can be rendered ineffective |
| Bottom line | I do use this when I do not want acne to flare up, especially after a microdermabrasion session. Also, if you do not have acne caused by hormones or cystic/nodular acne, that is, if you have acne caused by dirt, being a teenager or just a weird flare up, this is the topical for you! |

| Pros | shrinks red bumps clears acne |
|---|---|
| Cons | it loses its effectiveness. |
| Bottom line | I've used this for about 5 months. At first it worked great and cleared most of my acne so I stopped using it it when it ran out. Then when I broke out again, clindamycin did nothing for my skin. I've been using it for about a month every morning and it doesn't seem to work. I've been breaking out more actually. But I still think it's worth a try. It seemed to clear up my acne at first. |

| Pros | works fast, makes my skin feel clean, gets rid of small pimples and reduces the size of the bigger pimples. |
|---|---|
| Cons | strong smell, makes skin dry( i strongly suggest using a moisturizer!), sometimes irritates my (sensitive) skin. |
| Bottom line | works very well but makes my skin very dry and sometimes irritated so i only use it every other night instead of every day and night. since it makes my skin REALLY dry i use extra moisturizer on the nights that i dont use it. |
