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.

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.

Pros:

Easy to use, always available, can be used with other acne treatments.

Cons:

My acne got worse, it bleached the hair that it touched at my hairline and my pillowcase.

Its worth the try, its not only affordable but some people have found it extremely effective. Its not painful and there are no side-effects. You can continue using your daily cleanser and moisturizer and it has no effect on your birth control. It didn't work for me, but it could work for you, and that's why I recommended it. Although it was ineffective for me, it could work for you.

Pros:

clears skin quickly, no redness, apply at night-easy to use

Cons:

drying and bleaches pillow cases/towels, get acne if u stop using it

i love clindoxyl gel it really works. dont be over excited and think that acne is gone for good and stop using it - you need to continue using it. i did that and went from a perfect complextion to back to my original face...not cool. but it is good and if u have insurance it comes to about $14 in ontario at least

Pros:

Cleared up my minor to moderate acne fairly quickly. I've been using it for 3 months and I love it!

Cons:

I was crying one night in bed and when I woke up, I realized that it bleached my new pillow case! I also experienced some dryness in the beginning.

I recommend using Complex 15 ceram for oily skin. It's very thin and gentle and it works wonders. My acne seems to come back a bit at that time of the month but Clindoxyl keeps it under control. This is the best product i've used. I've tried Proactiv for a long time, I've tried aloe vera gel, and I've tried Steivamycin which was NOT for my skin type(how frusturating!) I love this!
