Acanya : Clindamycin Phosphate (1.2%) and Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Gel

ok i left a review before all ecstatic that it was working- i was so pleased that i actually FORGOT what it was like having acne and how miserable i was and was all happy with my clear skin that i stopped using acanya. BAD MOVE. within a few months my acne came back...so i started using acanya again and it has yet to start working 1 week in- i know i need to be patient. but i want to remind everyone that once your skin clears you still need to use this, maybe not every day... but don't just stop altogether.

I have been using this product for about a month now and so far I haven't had anything good to say about it. My face is flaky and hurts. Even just putting on moisturizer burns because of this. So far I am not a fan. Keep in mind I have only been using it for a month. It could get better.

I've been using the acanya consistently for a couple months and have not noticed a difference at all. My derm said to use it as a spot treatment and not only does it not help, I feel it makes my acne more red and sensitive. Whenever I use this I get a red spot that peels and is very painful that lasts atleast a week. It's just a waste of my time

im 27 years old suffer from acne on the t zone have tried proactive soaps but nothing has worked. Went to the derm about a week ago got atrlain and acanya and doxycline so far so good was a little worried about using these meds but so far so good . it has reduced some of the acne on my forehead drastcily .

I started to get painful cystic acne my junior year of high school (around age 16). My dermatologist prescribed Acanya for me, and I wish he had given me something else. I have been using it for over a year, and it doesn't seem to work. I apply it every night before I go to bed, and it might have reduced the severity of my acne, but since I still get painful pimples that last for weeks, I don't really know if it helped. It dries my skin out and makes my face peel as if I had a terrible sunburn. I need to use a lot of moisturizer along with it, which kind of defeats the purpose of using a cream that dries out your acne. The good thing about it is that it is a gel, rather than a pill, so there are no big concerns that would go along with taking a strong prescription pill.

I had skin issues -understatement-for years. I tried many products and my derm was talking about putting me on something very strong which I didn't agree with, so I got a second opinion and was I introduced to acanya gel. For the first two or three weeks I was using it once a day and wasn't noticing a difference-it was really dissappointing. But toward the end of the fourth week I noticed that this product was working like a charm. It seriously cleared everything up and I swear it is the reason I have not had a cystic breakout in close to 8 months-I used to get these suckers about once a week. I truly think it is a miracle in a bottle and if you are suffering with acne just give it a try- I really hope it works as well for everyone as it did for me, we deserve it!! The only cons are that it is expensive but in my opinion soooo worth the price tag; the other issue is that the bottle says it expires in 2-3 months. I refrigerated my bottle and it lasted me and worked great for close to 8 months. Has anyone else has this experience with acanya? Anyway, I hope you'll give it a try and I hope it's a miracle for everyone else too!

You need patience with this medication, it took approximately six weeks before it started clearing acne. It got worse, after six weeks my face turned beautiful, however, I used Atralin with this.

I used to have to turn the lights off and run from the bathroom to bed so that my boyfriend wouldn't see my make up free skin and in the morning I used to cover my face. Not anymore!!!

amazing product i used the cream every morning and it is amazing , it prevents acne very well and makes my skin less oily

I have had acne for 3 years and tried various things 2 days of this and my face was clear and i have used it for a year now its awesome
