| Pros: | Keeps acne under control |
| Cons: | strong smell that you have to get used to. Does nothing to control oil! |
| Bottom Line: | I was using this liquid form of clindamycin that come with a sponge applicator. It has a real strong odor, but once its dries you can't smell it anymore. I used it for over a month and people started to comment on how my skin was clearing up. It cleared up alot of my little bumps I had on my face and the antibiotics I was on cleared up the big cystic bumps. Once my prescription ran out I started breaking out again with little bumps. Try to get the liquid form, it works alot better than the gels/creams. |

| Pros: | It doesn't bleach clothing, etc.
Affordable
If used in the form of gel; like with Duac, very successful. |
| Cons: | The lotion is very runny. The Duac will bleach clothing and does dry out the skin. |
| Bottom Line: | Clindamycin in the form of gel is great. Heals pimple right away. |

| Cons: | Doesn't do anything. |
| Bottom Line: | I went to the dermatologist recently because I started breaking out suddenly with very tiny bumps all over my face and neck. He claimed I had adult acne and put me on clindamycin. I have been using it for 9-days now and it's doing absolutely nothing. I don't know if this product is just slow or if it doesn't work but I'm getting very impatient. This products also makes my skin quite greasy/oily. |

| Pros: | Best product I've used. Has almost cleared my oily clogged, mildly papuled skin in only one month. |
| Cons: | Nothing |
| Bottom Line: | My derm prescribed me a generic alcohol solution called Taro-Clindamycin.(Canadian product,it is similar to Cleocin T) It normally has only 1% clindamycin in it, but my derm prescribes it with 2% clindamycin compounded into the product. It comes in a plastic dabber bottle that I use only once a day before bed. Plus I only use warm water to wash my skin, no cleansers or soaps on my face. |

| Pros: | insurance covered it
easy to use |
| Cons: | didn't work |
| Bottom Line: | I hate topicals that stay on your skin. It feels nasty, especially if you have oily skin like me. Anyway, this stuff didn't work for me as prescribed by my doctor.
It worked maybe a tiny bit at first, but quit working after a week or so and did nothing but make my skin feel nasty. |

| Pros: | well, i've only been using this for about a week, but i've seen a good difference to the overall texture of my skin. I don't have a single big zit...just a few small drying ones and my blackheads. You can use this during the day! |
| Cons: | can be a bit drying, but my skin handles it perfectly. over time I have a feeling I will become resistant to it |
| Bottom Line: | I'm brand new to the stuff, so can't say much yet. When I woke up this morning, I saw my SKIN. I actually thought to myself---wow look at how beautiful my skin is, it has such a great tone!
but then of course you get into bad lighting somewhere else and all those post-acne red marks scream at you when you take a look in the mirror. When i got a facial about a week ago, the lady said I actually have really pretty and nice skin--under neath the acne and marks. This morning, I actually beleived her. I pray this stuff keeps working! |

| Pros: | Dries up zits and dries quickly on face |
| Cons: | none |
| Bottom Line: | Only dried up skin in the corners of nose a little bit but any daily moisturizer would take care of it, its not a severe enough issue to list as a con.
Not the most effective solution to acne alone, would suggest using with a topical creme as well |

| Pros: | It cleared up my skin for about 3 years with an occasional stubborn pimple. |
| Cons: | Stopped working all of a sudden. Had mild stomach aches / some nausua. |
| Bottom Line: | I think after a while you become immune to it and it stops working. Nothing lasts forever... |
