| Pros: | Best topical cream I have ever used. Cleared up my face and is not drying. |
| Cons: | None |
| Bottom Line: | I have been seeing dermatologists for years. Accutane finally got rid of my severe acne and reduced my breakouts by 90 percent. To control the remaining acne still left I tried just about every cream on the market. Most did nothing and irritated my skin making my face all red and dry. I finally started using Duac Gel which is 5 percent benzol peroxide and 1 percent clindamycin. It did not dry out or irritate my skin at all. I barely get any breakouts now and my skin looks the best it has looked in years. |

| Pros: | I use Clindamycin medicated pads (they look like "Stridex" pads) once a day after my shower and it keeps my severe acne to almost 0. |
| Cons: | At first it made me sensitive to the sun. I did get a mild rash when I would be out too long. Then the rash stopped. I recommend not using the product when you know you are going to be in the sun all day (like when I SCUBA dive). |
| Bottom Line: | I have used this product for 2 years and it has worked great for me. My insurance covers it with a low co-pay. There are no creams and I did not have an upsurge of acne when I began using it (like I did with Retin-A).
Try the medicated pad form of Clindamycin I am very happy. |

| Bottom Line: | I've been using Clindamycin (lotion) only around the corners of my nose, where I had red bumps. It seemed to work at first but now I have red spots that won't go away. The skin seems burned. My experience was not good and I will discontinue using it now. I'd rather have a few bumps in that area than red splotches. |

| Pros: | didn't make skin worse |
| Cons: | just made my skin the stay the same, no breakouts, or new pimples, but no improvment either |
| Bottom Line: | I have used clindamycin for about 6 months, and have been hoping for a change, but still my acne is the same, no improvment what so ever. However, it did not make acne worse. |
