Pros:

Worked beautifly.

Cons:

Stopped working.

I have been using this for a couple of years. For the first year, it cleared up my skin so well. I have very oily skin also, and it seemed to have helped that too. After a while though, it stopped working. I started breaking out (my problem is mainly whiteheads with the occasional pimple). My skin became very oily again and I'm so upset because now I have to find something else! UGH!

Pros:

Works like a charm. Nothing over-the-counter compares to its effectiveness. Had acne around my mouth and chin for years and nothing else worked. This does for me. And it's done so for the past four years. My face is clear and smooth.

Cons:

Price. But well worth it if you have insurance. It doesn't take much of this stuff to be effective.

Try it for 30 days. Ask your MD or dermatologist to give you a prescription to just try it to see if it works for you. Nothing but high praise for this stuff from me. One jar ($35 with insurance) lasts me three months.

Pros:

Gets rid/reduce the big pimples. Easy to use (only nights before bedtime). Nice consistency, not sticky or gooey or funny smelling. I got a sample product free from the doctor.

Cons:

Does not get rid of all the pimples (mainly the tiny ones are difficult to get rid of)

Pretty good, much better than the pharmacy acne creams that only contain benzyl peroxide. The clindamycin does well on killing bacteria which isn't included in the other acne creams available at the pharmacy.

Pros:

Gets rid of whiteheads or small blemishes

Cons:

Seems to prolong the recovery of cystic acne

It does make your skin smooth and clears up small whiteheads, not so much on cystic acne. Non drying.

Pros:

works great! saw a difference almost overnight! cleans and tightens pores and evens out skin tone.

Cons:

makes my eyes and nose burn after applying. kind of pricey -- 30 dollars - my co-pay is only 10 dollars with all other prescriptions.

as for the drying---try using a buff puff, wash cloth or other exfoliating method to reduce the flaking. you need to get rid of the dead dry skin rather than try and moisturize it away!

Pros:

Clears up acne within two weeks, prevents future acne if used regularly, doesn't irritate my sensitive skin as much as many other acne products

Cons:

Still causes mild dry skin/flakiness, bleaches washcloths, burns if applied too much or to very sensitive skin

I have light acne so I never really thought had that great a need for a prescription product, but this stuff works wonders! I had numerous small pimples in my "T-Zone" and this cleared them up quickly and has kept them at bay. However, it does require extra moisturizer to prevent my skin from getting flaky and will burn if I get it anywhere on my "sensitive skin" (I have combination skin). The only other problem is that not being able to put it on my more sensitive skin (like my cheeks) has allowed for the occasional pimple to pop up. This product still is amazing and I would definitely recommend it! Just remember to use it regularly and with sunscreen as it can make your skin more susceptible to the sun.

Pros:

Clears up your face AMAZINGLY!
Helps oily skin. (my skin is so oily, and this actually helps it.)

Cons:

If you have any open wounds, DONT PUT IT THERE! It burns. =z
You have to consistently use it.

Awesome product. I've heard its better than proactive (havent tried proactive.. dont need to!) lol. My doctor reccomended this to me and it is literally the best thing that has happened to my face so far.

Pros:

it takes away blackheads IMMEDIATELY. it cleared up my nose of any blackheads or white heads.and closed the pores. it also reduces the size of pimples and cysts.

Cons:

Dryness is all that has happened to me no itching peeling or redness..it is expensive but my insurance payed for it all.
it takes about 2-3 wks for immediate results.

It works extremely well with ppl with light to moderate acne. its expensive amd occasionaly you will get a pimple or to but other than that it works very good.
