lll, england Mar 24th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: No stinging or redness. I felt no side effects. It only has a very minor effect on acne, to be honest not even worth using it. Cons: I was on it for about 8-9 weeks and it wasn't worth the time, I wish I would have started roaccutane sooner! Recommended: No Usage: lll has used this item for about a month. Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Elise, Sydney, Australia Mar 24th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: No drying, soft matte skin, no redness, no burns, peels scars & leaves no scars! Cons: Expensive, can't be bought over the counter. Bottom Line: I think the product I've been using is a bit different (not too sure). Mine is Clindamycin Hydrochloride 1%. I finally got the courage to go to the doctor after dealing with not-very-good over-the-counter products. I was using Salicylic Acid for about a week. I saw slow improvements with Salicylic Acid. So I decided to switch to Benzoyl Peroxide. After a night, Benzoyl Peroxide assisted the acne to go away faster. It literally peeled off the unbearable dark spots left by acne and induced redness. The next day, I was a bit skeptical not knowing much about Benzoyl Peroxide so I went to my doctor to prescribe me acne treatment that was best suited for me. I was prescribed with Clindamycin Hydrchloride 1% lotion & Doxycycline Hydrocloride pills. It worked great! The pimples went smaller dramatically over a night of usage and scars still peeled off. These two products did not dry my skin at all! Gave me baby skin! I'm really ecstatic and would recommend it! Recommended: Yes Usage: Elise has used this item for a day or two.

Issy, Scranton, PA Mar 19th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It worked, but took almost the whole tube. Had all little bumps on my forehead and side of my face. Now I'm on Tretinoin and everything seems to be getting better. Cons: None Bottom Line: It's is good, but I ran out and they gave me the tretinoin cream. I think both work good. Recommended: Yes Usage: Issy has used this item for a few months.

Amy, Portland, Tn Mar 16th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Easy to apply, works well, and doesnt dry out skin. Oh, and super affordable ($5)!! Cons: Takes time. Bottom Line: I have used EVERY THING, I mean everything. From all the stuff on the shelf at drug stores to all the late night commercials. Even ProActive. Nothing worked. Until I finally got fed up and got the insurance to go to the doctor. He proscribed me Clindamycin Phosphate Gel 1%. At first I didnt think it was working, but I was determined to stick with it. Now its been 4 weeks and I am very happy with it. The best thing about it is that it prevents acne from forming. I highly recommend this product. And hope that all those who feel like I did will use it too.

Anonymous, Las Vegas, NV Mar 3rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Dries up pimples and prevents new ones. Affordable, with my insurance plan I only paid $15. Cons: Dries out skin and peeling may occur. Burns at first. Bottom Line: I had a horrible break out with large painful bumps all over my cheeks and forehead. My dermatologist prescribed me clindamycin, retin-a, and doxycycline and my face has drastically improved in the past three days. My skin and all the pimples dried out and peeled, which was really annoying and not cute. But underneath I had clear smooth skin. I like this regimen and I believe that overtime my face will completely clear up. My doctor explained that the retin-a is meant to speed up cell turn over and make my skin peel so that my pores do not get clogged by dead skin cells. The doxycycline is meant to prevent the bacteria from forming under the skin so if a pore does get clogged it bacteria will not form in it and it won't turn into a zit. The Clindamycin is meant to kill off and prevent bacteria from forming on the skins surface. I have not experienced any side effects besides the peeling which is expected. The prescribed regimen only costs me $45, which is totally Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a day or two. Price Paid: 15.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

BeetleChick, New York, NY Mar 2nd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: doesn't seem to dry out face, make-up goes on smoothly after application of the clindamycin lotion, no major cyst like breakouts Cons: Can make your skin appear very oily Bottom Line: I have only been using this for about a week, so far it seems I have had no cyst-like acne breakouts on my cheeks. I do notice irritation on my jaw-line, but I believe this is due to the tazorac lotion irritating my skin, which is part of the reason my Derm put me on this lotion twice a day. IT does make your skin look very greasy/oily, so during the day oil blotter sheets are a must! Will do a follow up in a few weeks to give a more accurate review of this product.

Anonymous, NY Feb 23rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Works great to get rid of existing acne. (most acne products dont work on me) Cons: - Make pimples red - Makes acne larger before they get smaller - Does not work quickly Bottom Line: When I went to my physician in about December, I was hoping to get her to refer me to a dermatologist. But she told me to try out Clindamycin Phosphate Gel 1% first. I got this for free since its covered by my health insurance but in the generic form. My physician told me to apply this twice a day (morning and night) and only on spots. So far it has been two months, and I still have acne. This gel has not stopped me from breaking out during the "time of the month". I still get acne in the same places. This seems to make my pimples go away faster but at a slow rate that makes me wonder if it is actually doing anything at all. I am trying to be patient with this topical gel because my doctor told me that it becomes more effective after a few months, meaning that this is something that you use for about 6 months, then if it doesnt work, you can try out something else. Most people hear are already complaining after about a week, this takes time to work. Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a few months.
