| Pros: | reduces amount of pimples |
| Cons: | none |
| Bottom Line: | Clindamycin pledgets 1%
topical antibiotic on a pad leaves my skin feeling clean. Even after you wash your face and then use these pads, you can still see residue that it takes off. it doesnt clear up my skin completly (nothing does), but it does reduce the amount of blemishes. |

| Pros: | Made acne lessen and redness is still disappearing. a little bit of dryness but not a lot. but i use the clindamycin lotion so it doesn't try up. |
| Cons: | not very fast at reducing the redness but its better than anything i have ever used :) |
| Bottom Line: | use it once in the morning and once at night and it should work. don't over use it or you will get itchy or dry skin. |

| Pros: | not sure seeing as i've used this product in conjunction with tretinoin cream. |
| Cons: | didn't agree with my oily skin. |
| Bottom Line: | for only $5 it was worth trying. this med. didn't seem to make my acne worse, but definitely didn't make it better. i think that it may work better for those with less oily skin then me. give it a try. |

| Pros: | Reduced the Size of pimples. Also reduced Redness in my T-zones |
| Cons: | Made face oily. Excessive Sweat. Dried out lips. Sensitive to Sunlight. |
| Bottom Line: | I applied it once in the morning and right before bed. I have not seen AMAZING results. I used Proactiv and saw quicker and better results but I built up a tolerant level to Proactiv. I was also prescribed an oral anti-biotic to jump start the diminishing of my acne which I believed helped more than the lotion. |

| Pros: | Amazing as base ingedient in super compound! Ask your doctor to look up this compound and prescribe along with 100mg MINOMYCIN. |
| Cons: | Expensive!!! I pay $40 per 60g compound! I hate paying so much money for it, but nothing else is as effective as this preparation.
It's also hella itchy and the oral minomycin may stop working after prolonged use... |
| Bottom Line: | CLINDAMYCIN 1% AZEL 4% KOJIC ACID 1% BENZAC 5%...
Apply all over face twice daily! Dries out existing pimples and prevents new ones when used along with the oral anti-biotic. Results as soon as 3 days. Skin will be super sensitive to sunlight so you may want to avoid unnecessary sunlight exposure and shield your face. Use vaseline on lips as anti-biotic dries out lips too! Apply Bio Oil and then moisturize to lock in hydration! |

| Pros: | great, it does dry your skin, so use Vitamin E lotion to balance your skin out. It gets rid of pimples easily but doesn't stop them from popping up. I would still recommend it though |
| Cons: | drying, otherwise it's good, i had no problem using extra moisturizer |
| Bottom Line: | it doesn't cure anytihng but gets rid of whatever is on your face. i used this in combo with retin-A-micro and the pill. I know how everyone feels, it SUCKS, but everyones different, and find what works for you. i went to about 3 doctors to figure out what the deal was, but eventually after I kept up with all three of the meds, everything started clearing up. good luck:) |
