| Pros | Popped pimples disappear by the next day Cystic acne minimised after a night |
|---|---|
| Cons | Expensive for the small amount Packaging gets difficult to use towards the end |
| Bottom line | I've been using this extensively on my popped pimples (I know I shouldn't be popping them, but still). Once I've squeezed out the pus, I slab some on it and by the next day, the swelling and redness is gone! I've been using it on cystic acne & it has caused the swelling to go down by quite a bit. |

| Pros | -After using it for 3 months, my (pretty severe) comedonal acne on my forehead is completely gone. |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Acne got worse within the first week or two |
| Bottom line | I was 17 when I started getting comedonal acne and other pimples on my forehead. I used benzoyl peroxide for a year and still kept getting pimples with no improvement. I ran out of it and stopped using any creme at all. I broke out like crazy. My acne had never been worse. I then started using Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Stress Control 3-in-1 Hydrating Acne Treatment and my forehead improved within a week, then went back to breaking out. I still kept using it for another 1.5 months with no improvement. Finally, my doctor told me about clindoxyl. Within the first week or two my acne got worse (could be because I got my period around that time) and I was skeptical. But I kept using it. I saw major improvements within the first month. Now, after 3 months, my skin is COMPLETELY clear and I'm so happy about it. I have some post inflammatory hyperpigmentation on my forehead, but that'll fade with time and is barely noticeable. PLEASE TRY THIS. |

| Pros | NONE |
|---|---|
| Cons | Made pimples last way longer than normal Left dark red marks where pimples were |
| Bottom line | Normally I have pimples that last about a week and by then they are ready to be extracted and heal completely fine by the next week. However after this gel my pimples lasted wayyyyyy longer (4 weeks) instead of my normal 1 week. And not only that, it left DARK RED marks when the pimples were gone. This has never happened to my skin before. I will most definitely not be using this again! Thankfully I got this for free because of my medical plan. |

| Pros | -Faded acne scars -Noticed improvement within the first 3 days. -Clearer skin -Even skin tone |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Expensive for the amount they give you -Slight peeling from the first few usages (but that's usually normal for an acne medication) -You must use it every night... I skipped 1 night by accident, luckily nothing happened, but when I ran out of it for about a week and a bit, my skin started to get bad again. |
| Bottom line | The kind of acne I had, which was more under the skin type of deal, and very uneven; this gel cleared it right up. Within the first week, I noticed improvement with the texture of my skin, the evenness, and the amount of blemishes per week I was getting, dramatically decreased after using this. I recommend it to anyone. Try it! I tried almost EVERYTHING, and felt like there was nothing out there that would cure my skin- until I tried this. Requires a prescription, but it's worth it! Trust me! Some cases I've heard about the clindoxyl gel, and that it worked for awhile, and then their skin stopped responding to it- but that wasn't the case with me. |

| Pros | cleared up acne overnight! reduced visible scars |
|---|---|
| Cons | drying (but what's worse: acne or dry skin?) a bit itchy |
| Bottom line | if you have not tried, this try it now! I've used clindoxyl gel for over 6 months now, I stopped for 2 months and my acne flared back up, I restarted using clindoxyl gel yesterday. Overnight it started to clear up my cystic acne, along with my all whiteheads. |

| Cons | Gave me: -redness -hives -rash -itchiness -burning -puffiness |
|---|---|
| Bottom line | The first time I used it it burned, and the next day the side of my face was itchy. About a week later the rash and redness and itchiness is still here. I have not seen any positive changes in my skin, because it has only been a week and a half. Around my lips and the side of my face are puffy, have hives and are EXTREMELY itchy. I have cystic pimples on my chin, which haven't gone away. |

| Pros | Clears up acne fast Keeps skin clear from zits A little gel goes a long way Very effective |
|---|---|
| Cons | First 2 weeks skin is dry and flakey Takes longer for deep acne Price Pulls up deep acne (blackheads/whiteheads) |
| Bottom line | I've been dealing with light acne for about 7 years, it's gotten more severe over the past 2 years. Two months ago i had a horrible breakout, 5 deep zits on one cheek, 4 more on the other side close to my nose, and deep acne on my chin. They were red, angry, and puffy, make up did nothing to cover them. I tried to get rid of them with hydrocortizone cream and nuetrogena cream but it did nothing. I think i didnt go out of the house for 3 weeks, i missed work because of it. So i went to the doctor and he gave me Clindoxyl Gel, cost $56.00. He told me to put it on 2 hours before bed, keep it on for an hour then wash it off with warm water, then gradually have it so you put it on an hour before bed then wash it off in the morning. It took 3 days before i noticed a difference, on the 5th day i could tell my spots were smaller. 2 weeks later my acne was nothing but small red marks, i kept putting the gel on my acne and another 2 weeks it was completely gone. At first the gel drys out your skin pretty bad, but i used Nuetrogena sensitive skin, oil and fragrence free moisturizer, and after 2 weeks the gel didn't dry me out anymore. I put the moisturizer on in the morning after i washed my face with warm water. I've been using it for about a month and a half now and my face is 90% clear and smooth. I've found that the Clindoxyl gel brings out deep, hard, painful acne on my chin sometimes. I think this is just deep dirt in my skin thats it's bringing out and eventually i won't get it anymore. I have seen though that in the first month i was getting a lot of black and white heads, it wasn't a big deal, i would just steam my face and carefully pop/push them out and put some gel on it and i couldnt even tell in the morning. Because i've done this the deep blackheads ive had on my cheeks and forehead for years are gone! I've you are fed up with acne then get this product! Within 3 weeks to a month your skin will be great. Im so happy and confident n |
