It didn't really do anything at all

Pros:

it was covered by insurance
easy to apply
no pills

Cons:

it burnt my face
it didn't clear my acne
it left red patches on my face

I've always had stubborn skin, and my acne was not severe. For the product review, It didn't make my acne worse, and it didn't make it better it just stayed the same. I did notice when applying it that my skin got very red and felt as if it was burning. I can't recommend it simply because it didn't work for my skin type

Clindoxyl

Pros:

Clears acne
Clears scars (not completely)

Cons:

Dry skin

So I always had clear skin until this summer I broke out like crazy.. Got scars all over my cheeks. I started using this gel first week it worked wonders, but became less effective overtime. But after 2 months it cleared up everything, even made my scars barely noticeable and gets rid of blackheads, pimples under the skin. This gel is amazing. I still got pimples here and there but it would clear them out within 2-3 days which is awesome. I'm so so so happy with this product.

Was WAY to harsh on my skin, but I could see how it would be effective for some people.

Pros:

Clears acne
Comes in gel form

Cons:

Expensive
VERY irritating

This product burned by skin.. Although I could have weaned into using the product better then I did at the time. I could see how this would be very effective for some people.. but it was just not the product for me.

Me too I had too wash it off my face still hurting

Pros:

This stuff works !

Cons:

Is not an instant fix, you need to stick with it but the results are fantastic

My daughter started highschool in September with moderately severe acne. Her forehead and chin were an angry red mess. She was very unhappy and selfconscious. We saw a dematologist in Oct and he perscribed CLINDOXYL. He told he to wash with water only...no cleansers. She would put it on before bed and wash it off in the morning. It took about 3 months to see the real results but the difference is truly amazing. She has not had a pimple since and the scars she had are almost gone.

Pros:

-works quickly
-you don't need much
-if you have insurance it is covered

Cons:

-I did not have any side affects however I use 100% pure argon oil as a moisturizer so that is most likely why

This product is a god send within 5 days my acne significantly improved to the point that people actually noticed. As an acne sufferer for 10+ years I was amazed and I still am. As stated above I used 100% argon oil as my moisturizer I recommend this to everyone. You don't need to use much of either product just enough to give a very thin layer is enough. I am so grateful I asked my dr not only am I getting clear skin but thanks to Insurance it's free even if it wasnt this is well worth it

Pros:

seemed to help with acne at first

Cons:

-after a while, acne started to come back worse
-horrible acne scarring
-face was VERY red, with a definite line separating the redness of my cheek from the normal colour of my neck
-flaky, itchy skin

I have two friends with severe acne who have used Clindoxyl. It seemed to work extremely well for one of them and moderately well for the other. I was told by a doctor to try this in conjunction with Retin-A; using one in the morning and one at night. My face always seemed redder, tighter, and flakier after using clindoxyl. I don't normally have sensitive skin, so I was very surprised the effects didn't wear off after a couple of days.

Pros:

-Cleared up acne
-Didn't break out at all since I started using it

Cons:

- Skin was so dry the first month, but not anymore
-Expensive
-Can bleach bedding/clothing (I let it dry for at least half an hour, so I didn't have any problem)

I have been using this product along with Differin for 6 months (still on my first tubes), and they are amazing! I've had maybe 2 pimples in that time frame, (it was my fault for missing a night) but was gone the next day. If you start using it, your skin will most likely get dry, and your acne could get worse. But that's because it's cleaning out what's in your pores. If you keep at it, the results will be worth it.

Pros:

works, even on hormonal acne

Cons:

flaky!
heard it stops working after a while?

this can make your skin flake but it works pretty well if you use consistently. lately, i've been diluting it by splashing some warm water on my face before applying it. It opens up the pores and it forces me to use less --this has made the flaking reduce a bit. I use cetaphil moisturizer w/ a high spf and I still haven't been able to put down my clinique foundation. I also try to use Mario Badescu's "healing and soothing" mask at least once a week to combat the dryness and flakiness this can cause if you overuse. If you're just starting this, make sure you stick with it and don't miss more than one day--I forgot my tube at my folks' house recently and my face exploded during the week I didn't use it, went right back to square one! PS I let it dry completely before I get into bed and I haven't bleached any clothing or bedding in 2-3 months of use so far.

Pros:

- Temporary bleaches skin
- Slightly helped getting rid of acne

Cons:

- Expensive
- Caused patches of redness
- Itchiness & burning sensation
- Dryness

This product, at first, made my skin feel itchy/dry and even gave me a burning sensation in the area of application. With time, it also created red patches on my skin. In the end, it only made my skin look & feel worst.
