Pros:

Clears up my acne very quickly, easy to apply, dries fast

Cons:

10 days ago I would say no cons what-so-ever, however, recently it has been drying/itchy/making my face red.

I started this product September 2007 and it cleared up my acne right away, I had no problem with it. It expired (due to 120day shelf life) and I went 3 weeks using no acne medication and developed acne again. I went to the doctor 4 days ago and renewed my prescription and it is now causing my face to become red, itchy, and extremely dry, very irritating!! But other than that, it gets rid of my acne and thats all I ask for! Cost $44, but insurance covered it.

Pros:

didnt cost anything insuranceeeeeee!:D

Cons:

i dunno didnt see much of a difference yet

I just got this product from the doctor yesterday and I hope it works. She told me not to use it on my whol entire face the first night. She said to put the cream on just my chin and work my way each night towards covering my whole face. So I don't think you're supposed to use the cream on your whole face at once cause it could aggrevate ur skin and make it red. Peace!

Pros:

This stuff works crazy fast. Within 3-4 days all my pimples were gone, and i believe till now its still preventing new ones from coming up
Drys really fast

Cons:

Short shelf life, but not so short that it will expire before your done using it
Expensive for people who dont have health plans

They stuff is really powerful, it really works well and fast, and luckily i dont have any reactions to it. I use it at night with no other products. Do not use during the day, and moisturize during the day. Exposure to sunlight will damage skin with on this product. I havnt experienced much bleaching.

Pros:

Cleared my acne.

Cons:

Bleaches fabrics, dry skin, takes awhile to dry.

It works, that's for sure... It's just a nuisance. Everyone's skin is different, so the same product won't work for everyone, but it worked for me. But, seriously, be careful with it on fabrics! I've ruined more Pjs and bed sheets then I can count!

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:

helped clear redness

Cons:

makes my skin really itchy.

I've only been using it for a couple of weeks so i'm not sure if it is going to dramaticly reduce acne, but it has made my skin so itchy. I feel like I'm going to cause more problems by scratching. doesn't seem to work any better than other topicals i've tried and didn't need perscibed. It was afforable, it cost me nothing, because it was covered by insurance.

Pros:

- Cleared up infection
- Dramatically reduced the appearance of cystic acne on cheek

Cons:

- Cheek feels a bit stiff after using it
- Cheek is itchy, not sure if it is from the medication

I had been using Proactiv prior to this and it only worsened the acne by drying out my skin. I received samples from my family physician, so I didn't have to pay anything. She did tell me this was the "#1 selling acne cream", lol. This product is the best topical cream I have used. I noticed an immediate difference the next morning. I have tried Melaleuca's 'Zap It' cream which only worsened my acne. The pros of clindoxyl outweigh the cons by far.
