Pros:

- Has helped me a lot with cyst-like pimples I get time to time

Cons:

- Makes your skin super dry (particulary bad if you happen to have naturally very dry skin like me)
- Bleaches clothes and linen
- Is (at least here) quite expensive

It's hard to say wheather this is worth using... It does help but also has some side effects.

Pros:

Cleared up acne really well :)

Cons:

Hard and difficult to use on back or shoulders if you have acne anywhere other than face, tends to bleech clothes or pillow sna dbed sheets, effects stop when you stop using almost immediately.

I was prescribed this before I tried the birth control pill. i really liked it but I developed a tolerance to it after a about 2 years of taking it. I took a break from it and now I just use it as a sort of spot treatment for any breakouts (like if I went out to the bar and wore a heavy make up and had a few pimples the next day) and it works very well. I liked that using this my acne didnt have to get worse before it got better. Also made face more sensitve than it aready was to sun, and if I ever put it on jsut before putting a shirt on in the morning, that shirt alwasy presented with a bleech like effect around the neck and sometimes on the shoulders.

Pros:

Works within days.
Cleared up my pustules (the big, red, pus-filled ones)

Cons:

Caused dryness, redness, irritation but that decreased the longer I used it.
Didn't work on my comedones (the tiny, skin-coloured bumps)
Bleached my pj's

My doctor gave this to me the first time I went to him about my acne. I used a thin layer all over my face every night and it got rid of my bigger pimples. However I was still left with lots of tiny bumps on my cheek. My doctor prescribed me Tretinoin to get rid of those but my skin got too irritated when I tried to use both every day. Now I just spot treat the bigger pimples with Clindoxyl when they pop up. They are usually smaller by the next morning and are totally gone within a few days. I've used this for about 2 years but I ran out of it for a month before I could get my prescription renewed so now I'm going through the getting irritated by Clindoxyl stage again. My pharmacist recommended that at first I just use it for a few hours in the evening then wash it off and work my way up leaving it on overnight so that my skin can get used to it. I really recommend that to anyone who's just starting to use it so you won't wake up with a bright red, itchy face.

Pros:

Well, it cleared up the acne I had on my face..

Cons:

After I have been using it for about 2weeks, i had a terrible rash, that was itchy and very red, almost looked like i was scorched. I havent cleared up my acne on my arms.

Good for minor areas, like face etc. but i havent seen an effect on my arms yet.

Pros:

Works really well, clears things up fast and helped bleach my skin so the left over marks from previous acne was cleared up.

Cons:

It tried out the skin between my eyebrows and it would get flaky, other than that it didnt dry my skin.

Dont try any over the counter products if you have acne beyond white heads and black heads, go straight to this.

Pros:

Quick and great results. No skin irritation.

Cons:

It made my skin a little dry, but I put it on before bed, and wash and moisturize in the morning and it was perfect

This is a miracle! If you have bad skin, this is the way to go!

Pros:

It did clear my skin up.

Cons:

I broke out in a very itchy rash and my skin was very dry and red.

If you do not have sensitive skin this would be a good product to try, but if your skin is sensitive like mine DONT'T DO IT!

Pros:

cleared my breakouts completely!

Cons:

causes my face to become dry/ tight at night (when it is applied) but i don't notice it after a minute or so.
face will continue to be dry the next day unless i put on a good moisturizer.
it bleached my pillow cases and a bit of the hair around

i love it! my skin glows! get a good moisturizer for the morning. Cliniques dramatically different moisturizer works wonders. i didn't notice stinging, or redness. i was flaky for a bit (in the winter) but moisturizer cured that problem. im also using it in conjunction with tricyclen. but i find that the gel is really the deciding factor in how great my skin looks/ feels. ASK YOUR DOCTOR!!!
