| Pros: | Easy to use, packaged is pre measured. helps clear acne up fast |
| Cons: | Pricey |
| Bottom Line: | I have been suffering from acne from the age of 12 (now 22). I had mild acne up until a year ago when my face broke out severly. I tried everything from Proactive (horrible), to every kind of product and everything made it worse. I finally went to the derm in December and he persribed me this (Cleocin Pledgelet Pads) along with Bactrim (an oral antibiotic to be taken morning and night) and Differin. The three together have made my face so clear. Yes, I have an occasional pimple here or there, but NOTHING like before. I also wash my face with the Glytone fash wash morning and night. Every time I feel a pimple coming on, I just go through my regimen and the next day I'm good to go! I would highly recommend this product to someone who thinks NOTHING will work! |

| Pros: | shortens the time length of a visible pimple |
| Cons: | drys out face REALLY bad |
| Bottom Line: | the clyndimycin works pretty well. I apply it on a pimple andthe next day it is gone. I also get the pimplesthat hurtreally bad under the skin so i apply it on the pimple and the next day the hurting is gone. It reduces the pimple but still leaves it red for a bit. My chin has been bumpy for forever now, nottoo bad anymore but it used to break out about twice a week!! |

| Pros: | Doesn't over-dry or clump up with moisturizer. |
| Cons: | Seems to lose effective over time. |
| Bottom Line: | I had really bad skin in my teens, which cleared up in my 20s, now I've got a moderate adult acne in my 30s. I first used this a few years ago in conjunction with retin-A, which I couldn't stand because of how much it dried out my skin. When I dropped the retin-A, my skin was great for awhile. After trying Dan's regimen for about a year, I went back on clindamycin. It doesn't seem to work as well as before, but I prefer it to BP because it is less drying. Sometimes I use a little BP with it to spot treat; that seems to work ok. However, I'm not convinced that my complexion is much better than it would be if I wasn't using any medication. Perhaps alternating it with BP is worth a try? |

| Pros: | Cleared my skin Quickly. Saw results in the first week. After 2 weeks, hardly ever a pimple on my face or back! |
| Cons: | Yeast infections that were hard to cure. I've never had yeast infections before taking this. |
| Bottom Line: | It worked great for me! I had no side effects other than the yeast infections. It didn't make me sunburn easily like the cycline products do, which was a blessing as I love gardening. The cycline products made me burn so badly! I would recommend this if you are a guy and can't get the infections or females who are not prone to them. |

| Pros: | Helped my forehead; made my skin less oily; absorbs well into skin |
| Cons: | Didn't help my chin |
| Bottom Line: | I used Clindagel alone for 2 weeks and it fixed my forehead within days. Now I use it together with Differin, to try to fix the rest of my face too. I still have chin problems, but the rest of my facial skin looks smoother and more radiant. I have noticed some of the blackheads on my nose going away and the pores are getting smaller. I didn't think that would ever happen. |

| Pros: | works well in some areas, but not in others. |
| Cons: | drys out skin pretty bad |
| Bottom Line: | still iffy on this product, it seems to only work in certain areas of the skin, and it drys those areas out, so the skin ends up irritated anyway. |

| Pros: | Helps to dry out ance quickly |
| Cons: | smells bad |
| Bottom Line: | I've had moderate to severe cystic acne since I was 13 years old, I am now 23 years old, I've been taking this medication in liquid form along with a pill form of an antibiotic. These two together have dramatically helped my skin clear up. I have to use it twice daily, cut down on make-up (just a light powder), and what has also helped is taking a shower in the morning and one at night , let the hot water run on your affected acne areas, then use the medication, it seems to clear them up almost instantly, or at least overnight. |
