Pros:

Prevents major breakouts of acne.
Clears out redness.

Cons:

Makes skin dry and itchy.
Has given me more greasy skin than before the treatment.

I wasn't that happy with my results. I was told this should be able to remove my acne, but all it did was prevent new major breakouts. I still have problems with it, but not in a major scale as before. Also it seems to have dried out my skin, and provoked greasy skin in my time using it. If you a product that can give you quick solutions, but not major effects, sure Clindoxyl works fine. It'll help you prevent new breakouts, keep your skin fairly clean, but it won't do miracles. It didn't with me anyway.

Pros:

-Clears up skin innitially
-Seems to keep them away

Cons:

-Dried out my skin massively
-Made my face stiff

The Clindoxyl Gel seemed to work at first. I noticed a huge difference, then it just sort of.. stopped. But my face hasn't gotten any worse, so I'd say it's doing its job gradually.

Pros:

24 hours before I fried this gel.

Cons:

After 6 hours I started scratch my face.

Now my face is a red spot with hot rash. Tomorrow I am going to see a doctor. Cool....

Pros:

- works really well the first time you use it
- can see a HUGE difference after three weeks

Cons:

- around 6 months later, nothing extraordinary happens anymore

i believe that clindoxyl is really good for, like, three months or so. for me, all my acne was gone, and now i just get regular teenager acne, but the scars are still there. after you have gotten rid of the problem belmishes, i suggest going back to your doctor, and asking what should you do about the scarring. but, continue using clindoxyl for the minor pimples you get now. :)

Pros:

My acne seemed to be clearing up initially, probably within the first couple weeks, my skin was very dry but I didn't mind because the pimples were clearing up.

Cons:

During the second week I started to get large bumbs under the skin that hurt and turned red but never came to the surface. Im waiting to see if they will subside or not.

I would recommend this product because I have heard from friends it works, but i have yet to see the results.

Like smoothing white glue onto your face

Didn't work as well when it was hot out...

Pros:

it cleared my pimples and prevented them from coming back

Cons:

bleached my pillowcase a bit..other than that no complaints

i've used this product for a couple of months then i ran out. during that time my skin improved and i wasn't as oily. i only get a few pimples every once in a while and they are on my chin and a bit on my forehead. clindoxyl has improved my skin and i like that i can wear it under makeup.

Pros:

doesn't smell bad!
doesn't burn or sting!
simple!

Cons:

none!

bottom line, i've been using it for only a few days and my skin is already looking better! i usually have breakouts all the time and i usually wear pounds of face make-up to try and hide it! but after using this for only a short while, i have a feeling i won't need to anymore! my pimples are going away and they are less red, my skin is also less oily! try it! i'm also on pills from my doctor!

Pros:

It does really improve your skin, it makes it go away almost totally.

Cons:

After some time, the effect stops and you're in the square one again... Sigh.

It does help for some time, but then the effect stops completely. My acne is kicking back in. So if you are looking for a temporary help then this is your choice. But dont expect your skin to stay clear for ever.

Pros:

I've noticed that the acne has started to fade quite quickly.

Cons:

My face has gone as red as a tomato and my eyes are swollen.

This product does help, but if you have an important event to go to sometime right after you started using it and you have sensitive skin, you may want to re-schedule your important event.
