| Pros: | Works in controlling upcoming breakouts. |
| Cons: | Temporary redness |
| Bottom Line: | I use this to get rid of the breakouts you can feel under your skin (the ones that feel bumpy and hurt somewhat when you touch). Not very good at getting rid the existing ones, it only controls the acne. I would recommend using this in conjunction with another product, specifically a cream. |
| Recommended: | Yes |
| Usage: | J has used this item for a few months. |

| Pros: | Worked wells at clearing up the face |
| Cons: | hasn't completely gotten rid all of the acne |
| Bottom Line: | It improved my very bad acne to just moderate, but it seems to just be maintaining that level and not getting any better. |

| Pros: | Kills the Acne P. Bacterial, Did a good job of clearing my Mild to Moderate Acne. (Combination of Whiteheads, Blackheads, Pustles and Cysts.) Great to use under makeup! I've use makeup daily keeps the acne under control. inexpensive |
| Cons: | Comes in a small bottle. May sting a little bit because of the alcohol base for some people. I was using astringent before so it didn't really bother me. |
| Bottom Line: | In my teens and 20's I used Clindaycin for years and had practically perfect skin. Stop using it because skin changed in my 30's got dryer until recently starting to have bad hormonal flare-ups resulting in many painful cysts practically weekly got back on Clindamycin and everything's back under control acne.
Daytime: Use Clindamycin under my makeup.
Night-time: Apply a base of Clindamycin on the skin and then apply a coat of Neutrogena Spot of Treatment 2.5%. Works great! |

| Pros: | Cleared up a few blemishes and scars.
Face looked clearer than before.
Didn't have any side effects. (I guess I have tough skin 'cause I used alchohol on my face before.) |
| Cons: | Wasn't very effective.
No other significant changes. |
| Bottom Line: | Clindamycin Topical Gel 1% made my skin a little bit more clear. It used to look polkadots of brown and gold but nothing else after a few days of using it. It didn't really prevent any future breakouts such as whiteheads or blackheads.
I have moderate acne but many scars. ):
Scars are still there but a few of my blemishes disappeared. |
| Recommended: | Yes |
