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!

Pros:

Seems to work very well so far.

Cons:

I'm soooo pissed off! The Bleach in that cream ruined my new nice set of towels and brand new 800 thread count (not cheap) Bed Sheets I was as careful as I could but now everything is garbage!!! BEWARE!!!!

Hmm, Most of the cost was covered by insurance, it's helping acne matters. But I'm out $500.00 worth of linen in 3wks!

Pros:

Cleared up 99.9% of acne pimples within 5-10 days.

Cons:

Skin is a bit dry and sensitive in the morning after washing it off.

I have tried hundreds of prescribed and retail products over the years and nothing has worked this well, this fast. I don't have one single blackhead on my nose, I've never seen my skin this clear before. I have my face back!!

Pros:

Absorbs quickly, no odor

Cons:

on a student budget found it a little expensive

I would give this a 5/5 but i've only been using it a month so I don't know if I LOVE it yet...like it better than anything else i've tried so far. I had perfect skin as a teenages and only started to break out bad in my 20's. And like a few people have said - it made my skin noticably better the first few days, but then it got worse...much much worse for the next three weeks. But I stuck with it and now after a month i'm really starting to see results. Any advice on a face moisterizer to use with it? I stopped using mine because I was afraid of making my skin to break out more, but I really want to keep from drying out like a prune.

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...)
