Pros:

i've used it for almost a year and my acne doesn't really go away but gets smaller...

Cons:

bleaches clothes, expensive if u don't have health care, skin fells weird and may dry out. takes a LONG time to use

i have mixed feelings about using this product. i would recommend not using this in the day time if your going out because it makes your skin look weird and feel weird. also it will bleach your shirts and things like that. but i've used this for almost a year almost every night and at different parts of that time my acne was pretty much gone than i stopped using for one night and i had broke out again and now im trying to get it back under control.

Pros:

Works really well at clearing up pimples!

Cons:

You cant wear it under make up

The bottom line is this product is really amazing. With me I put it on at night and wash it off in the morning. During the day I wear a moisturiser and make up (no pimple cream). It seems to work the best for me for clearing up pimples. I haven't come across any other cream product that works better. I don't pay anything for it because I have really good insurance

Pros:

Dries up pimples really fast and the benzol peroxide acts as a bleach so it lightens hyperpigmentation from the acne. It also peels the dead skin to reveal newer fresher skin

Cons:

It is very drying and i wonder how it will affect my skin in the long run.

This treats acen well, but not sure what will happen if you stop using it. Noone wants to have to use a gel everyday to keep acne at bay

Pros:

- clears up skin better than 95% of other acne products
- doesnt burn skin, or acne spots
- can be applied to open or "popped" pimples

Cons:

- leaves skin a little bit tight when applied (very little)
- dries skin a little bit, but that is somewhat the point of this treatment (to kill bacteria and dry up red spots)

good product, recommended trial of this treatment... majority of users have good results for people with skin problems like me that none of that commercial neutrogena, oxy, biore, or clean and clear work for, and make skin worse sometime this product is different and recommended, remember its a topical treatment, just a cream to be put on spots hopefully its success so far with my skin, stays long term !

Pros:

only started getting acne four years ago. doctor prescribed clindoxyl; after two weeks i am seeing a huge improvement. i also use biotherm which works really well especially for evening skin tone and removing marks, so together its all good.

Cons:

really dried out skin.

i originally had really oily skin so my doctor suggested twice a day to apply but i couldnt take the dryness so i do the regular biotherm routine in the day and at night i wash my face and use the toner and then apply the clindoxyl. worth trying if you really need a quick fix as oppose to waiting to get an appointment with a derm.

Pros:

skins seems to be clearing up, skin is not drying out.

Cons:

not entirely clear yet

well it's true that i do have days where i forget to use it but i feel like it should be doing more to clear up my skin. if anything it seems like it's bringing up the acne that's under the skin and i seem to have been breaking out more. since it's the summer my skin hasn't dried out yet, but in the winter i know it will flake. also it seems i've been getting a great deal on it considering all of the prices i've seen listed. I have a university health insurance plan and a supplemental so its very cheap.

Pros:

- cleared acne
- prevents new breakouts (when i do get them it's usually small)

Cons:

- when you first use it, your face becomes extremely dry and red, it was also very itchy and irritating
- burning sensation when you first use it

Overall, this product is pretty good after your skin gets used to the BP. I've been noticing really good results after using it, hopefully it will become better! Been using for 3 weeks.

Pros:

cleared up acne really fast, shrunk pores, improved overall texture and complexion

Cons:

none really, other than it dried up my face but that's clearly expected when you reduce the amount of sebum your skin is producing

I use this at night and Differin in the morning. The combination is very drying but it works very well. Just get a good moisturizer, I use clinique during the day as well as Vichy Normaderm.

Pros:

Makes cysts literally shrink overnight, reduces redness.Not sure if it will help scarring yet...

Cons:

A little drying-but hey that's why it works.

I am using this in conjunction with Proactiv and it helps with my cystic acne A LOT.
