Pros:

smelled better than stronger treatments, nice texture, can use and then put makeup on, doesnt dry out skin

Cons:

doesnt really work for me, didnt help my skin at all...

didnt work, seems best for maybe rather minor cases, or well all skin is different so maybe it just wasnt for me. on stevimycin now and much happier with that. id still recommend trying it out for a while. i was on it a year so i know it didnt work for me, give it at least 4 months...

Pros:

i used Clindoxyl on it's own. i used Differin (another gel) on it's own. neither worked. my doctor put the two together and it's fabulous. i naturally have really bad skin but now it's clear.

Cons:

i'm not suggesting you use Clindoxyl, i'm suggesting you use Clindoxyl and Differin together. the combination dries out your skin REALLY BAD. find a good moisturiser, i'm still looking. also, very expensive. for me the two togerther was about 120$

-good for acne -dries out skin -very expensive for combination -prescriptions for both of them

Pros:

Works well for shrinking zits.

Cons:

Takes awhile for it to work.

Did not work for me, but the only Pro about it is it was free from my doctor (he gave me the whole entire sample box!)

Pros:

Its awesome! I started using it and at first I didnt notice much but within a week I was amazed! I reccomend this item to everyone!

Cons:

It drys out your face just a litttttle little bit, only where you use it, throw some moisturizer on that and your perfect!

I recommend this its a good product and well worth it, you will be happy! I've tried Proactive but I had a allergic reaction my whole face swoll up red and it always burned and dried my face out this is the item to buy!

Pros:

this gel is amazing! I've used this for around a week now and I noticed a big huge difference already! Even my boyfriend noticed the big change!

Cons:

my skin gets really dry after applying this.

Continue to use this gel and remember to put moisturizer on your face in the morning and at night time to keep the dryness away.

Pros:

Less Redness
Clearer Skin
Acne goes away fast

Cons:

Dry skin

Wow, Just wow. I've been on this product for not even a week and I am already getting compliments on how my skin is clearing up! This stuff is the real deal! After being on pro-active for months and seeing barley any results I am glad that this product was brought in to my life. Its been about 5 days and the redness is going down every day, the zits under the skin are almost completly gone and I feel great! This was my face before the treatment: [link removed]> And let me tell you its almost 10% clearer, there is still some redness but its going away more and more everyday! Stick to this product if you have acne like in my picture. It works wonders and has really boosted my confidence. Though some dryness occurs its only at night, use cetaphil after a shower in the morning and it hels alot! Lastly ENJOY THIS STUFF, it really has worked miracles for me.

Pros:

Very cheap, easy to use, doesnt bother the skin

Cons:

All the warnings make me kind of scared. IE: bleaching, flaky skin

I have been using it for a couple days and so far so good, im pretty pleased with the results. Keep in mind i didnt have that terrible of acne but I'm using proactive aswell as this and it seems to be keep everything under control. Hopefully it keeps up! Good luck, I realize acne can be a really big pain.

I applied this gel today and i dont know how well it is going to work. Hopfully it will work . But the doctor said if not, then come back and i am going to take it in the pill form and do laser acne treatment.

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.
