Pros:

-Keeps acne away
-Rare pimples if any
-May help redness
-Probably one of the best creams available I've tried
-Works

Cons:

-Smell for some people but doesn't bother me.
-A little difficult to rub in/make sure it's not visible on face.
-Costs $35.07 for a tube with coupon if insurance doesn't cover it. (pro or con)
-Should have used it sooner!!!

I am using this with Epiduo gel. I alternate one day with the Clenia cream and then the next day with the Epiduo gel. I wash my face 2x a day with Aveeno Clear Complexion Cleanser. I use AM Cerave 35 SPF lotion in the morning and no lotion at night. My skin was more sensitive than I realized because only the small amount of salcylic acid in the Aveeno cleanser made my face red at first, but I got used to it. I needed something that would be gentle on my skin. Clenia is less harsh on skin than the Epiduo gel, but they work well together alternating.

Pros:

Clears up my breakouts and is gentle enough for me to use twice a day on my extremely sensitive skin. Works for my acne and rosacea!

Cons:

The wash doesn't foam like it claims, but if that's the only issue..it's so worth it.

I tried every drug store product avaliable in the past 9 years that I have struggled with acne. Finally, I decided to go to the dermatologist and he prescribed this product and it really does work. I feel happier and more confident than I have in years!

Pros:

Easy to use, easy to apply. Cream disappears after application. I am able to wear makeup over the cream.

Cons:

it smells (sulfur) but I did get used to it.

Clenia was a MIRACLE for me. I have suffered from cystic acne for 15 years. I had tried EVERYTHING short of accutane. It wasn't until my doctor finally diagnosed me with sebborheic dermatitis and granulomatous rosacea that we started this treatment. Within a month I was CYST FREE.

Pros:

Clears up face within a few days, Inexpensive if you have health insurance ($10)

Cons:

Need a prescription, can cause blotchiness/redness at first,

This has been the best topical product that I have ever used. I have tried everything and I have finally found something that stops all my breakouts and has allowed for my face to heal. I have used Accutane (which was successful at the time) but I don't like to take anything that throws off my internal chemical balance (hormones, etc.) If sulfur products seem to work with your face, I cannot recommend a better product! I wash with the face wash once in the morning and once at night and have actually seen better results when I use the face wash without the topical cream that is supposed to work in conjunction with it. When I use the cream, it tends to dry my face out too much and causes redness/blotchiness. **Give the product about 2 weeks to get used to. By the end of the first bottle of foaming face wash, I had no acne/breakouts and I have never been a happier or more confident person since.

Pros:

Works quickly and well

I had small pimples on my back as a side effect of Lamictal. Nothing worked. Clenia worked almost immediately. I haven't had a problem with "backne" since!

Pros:

I used this for about a year, then stopped because I moved and my doctor had never heard of it. I've been back on it for about 2-3 weeks and there is a significant difference. My skin in clear day. I also use Duac Topical Gel and Lotion.

Cons:

The smell isn't the best, and it doesn't foam like it says.

I would most definetly recommend this for people that have moderate to severe acne. It actually works and it's affordable. You get used to the smell also.
