Pros:

it helps with light to medarate acne. sometimes it can even make your skin glow. while on it you rarely get large pimples only a couple small ones

Cons:

doen't fully clear skin, bleaches clothes, runs out quickly, makes your skin very red and sometimes burns

If you have light acne and you just wan to zap away those couple zits it mostly works. You have to be patient and very consistent however if you want clearer looking skin its worth it. If you have a health plan, you should be able to afford it. Just try it out, can't permanently damage you.

Pros:

It works better than any OTC regimen out there. It is because of the strength of the benzyl peroxide. No OTC can ever compare, so stop wasting your money and get a prescription.

Cons:

NONE!

This really works... stop wasting your money on other products. I never thought I would have clear skin. I would always wear makeup and fear for someone to see me without it, and then wearing make all the time makes your skin worse. After using this product for a month or two my skin is completely clear. I wish I would have known about this product earlier. Now I do not have to wear foundation, my skin is flawless! It's a good look!

Cons:

Gave me:
-redness
-hives
-rash
-itchiness
-burning
-puffiness

The first time I used it it burned, and the next day the side of my face was itchy. About a week later the rash and redness and itchiness is still here. I have not seen any positive changes in my skin, because it has only been a week and a half. Around my lips and the side of my face are puffy, have hives and are EXTREMELY itchy. I have cystic pimples on my chin, which haven't gone away.

Pros:

- helped control my acnee

Cons:

- At first made my skin REALLY flacky and red, and it burn a lot!
- expensive if you don't have insurance

My doctor prescribed this to me to use together with Differin, since Differin alone was not doing a good enough job. At first Clyndoxyl really burned my face, I had to take it off after putting it on. In the first months my face was really flaky, I had to apply a lot of moisturer more than 3-4 times a day to reduce de flakyness. After a few months my face got used to it and it stopped burning and flaking. It make my acnee better than when using Differin alone, but I still had blackheads on my nose and new breakeouts here and there, sometimes bad ones. Then after 3 years it just stopped working for me, I started breaking out a lot again, so I had to change medication (again...)

Pros:

- Not too sure yet as I just started it using it
- Price was good, insurance covered it for me

Cons:

- ITCHES
- Red patches

If your willing to withstand the itching and wait for the results, it might be a good product for you. And just to say, its itches ALOT

Pros:

Worked for awhile

Cons:

Stopped working

prior to this i was using Vichy normaderm WHICH WORKS FANTASTIC!!! I used this with differin for 2 weeks both of them at the same time at night. if worked than stopped working after the second week than i switched to differin at night and clindoxyl in the daytime acne stayed the same so i decided before GRAD PHOTO DAY to use only differin in the night time and i applied vichy cream in the morning and ir worked fabulously have been doing that ever since the problem is that differin when starting needs something like clindoxyl to balance it out but when the balancing is over it really just hurt me. I reccomend and dont reccomend it.

Pros:

What pros can there be? Look at all the cons below:

Cons:

- causes redness and dryness
- temporary cure
- bleaches clothes

There are far better and cheaper products on the market. The redness and dryness issue should make everybody back away from the product. Redness is what we're trying to abate here! If you have severe acne, go to a derm, get them to prescribe you minocycline. If that doesn't work, then just do the accutane. At least then you will be "cured." Pro Active works better then this stuff!
