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.

Pros:

Easy to use, not many side effects

Cons:

Pretty ineffective on its own, makes skin oilier

I was prescribed this as the first course of action against a bad breakout, and after the first four weeks I noticed absolutely no difference in the level of acne on my face. I found that it made my skin even oilier when applied in the daytime so I stopped using it entirely. Stick with the over the counter Benzoyl Peroxide.

Pros:

the first week i used it, my acne slowly but surely disappeared till i only had a few pimples on my cheeks. didn't bother my skin at all, and I thought this was finally the product that will make my skin clear and I was so happy

Cons:

a week after using this product (rubbed a bit on my face each night), my skin broke out in a huge rash overnight. It was hot and itchy beyond belief, I was humiliated at school. there was nothing the doctor said he can do except wait it out, its been

five days now and my face has not gotten any better. this product got pretty good reviews from other people, but it is very possible for some people like me to react horribly to clindoxyl. I definitely will not be using this ever again, even though it worked so miraculously well the first week. The itchyness and pain is just not worth risking trying it again.

Pros:

Worked really quickly and I don't get many whiteheads or anything like that often.

Cons:

I still have blackheads under my skin that need squeezing, as it doesn't bring them to the surface. Can dry out the skin a bit, just buy some good moisturizer.

Good product, not very expensive, and it works. I find it works better than Differin and Proactiv, so its worth trying out. As long as you have some sort of lotion you're set. =D

Pros:

shrinks pimples fast and skin looks much more clear

Cons:

doesn't make them come to the surface so the bumps stay there forever and i had to squeeze them out!

it's the only thing that works for me but too bad this doesn't let the pimple come to a whitehead, anyone noticed this?

Pros:

It seems to have stopped any new acne from coming. I've been using it for 3 weeks.

Cons:

It has not cleared up the acne that was there in the first place.

I am on week three, and they say to give it six weeks..so hopefully the current acne will be gone.
