Pros:

- Clears up acne fast

Cons:

- dries up skin
- expensive

I've been using this product for over 3 years now. It worked amazingly well. Overnight, my acne disappeared. It does tend to dry up my skin, so I have to use a bit of moisturizer. The costs is a bit expensive, but overall, I think it's worth it.

Pros:

-absolutely wonderful, cleared my skin in 2 weeks!!

Cons:

-none
-the price might be an issue for some

Some may have found clindoxyl gel drying, but every night I would cleanse my face and then apply a thin layer of clindoxyl gel all over my face (carefully avoiding eye area) and then would let it dry and go to sleep. In the morning my skin was clear and not dry at all. After about 3 weeks of using it my moderate acne was actually completely gone and my skin was the best it's ever been. Sadly, I found in the 3rd month of using it that it was causing an allergic reaction. I woke up and my eyes were swollen shut and my lips were huge. It was the clindamycin.

Pros:

Gets rid of acne & the tiniest of pimples fast.

Cons:

Bleaches everything.

It works wonders. But the pharmacist said after 4 months i should stop because by then it has done all it can do. You are NOT screwed if you stop using it.

Pros:

Clears skin up fast.

Cons:

Dyes fabric.

I use this product only at night before bed. I don't use any other acne cleansers. I just wash my face with warm water. Before I apply my make-up I use Aveeno mosturizer for acne prone skin. I also use clinique make-up for acne prone skin. It is all oil free and works great.

Pros:

-After using it for 3 months, my (pretty severe) comedonal acne on my forehead is completely gone.

Cons:

-Acne got worse within the first week or two

I was 17 when I started getting comedonal acne and other pimples on my forehead. I used benzoyl peroxide for a year and still kept getting pimples with no improvement. I ran out of it and stopped using any creme at all. I broke out like crazy. My acne had never been worse. I then started using Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Stress Control 3-in-1 Hydrating Acne Treatment and my forehead improved within a week, then went back to breaking out. I still kept using it for another 1.5 months with no improvement. Finally, my doctor told me about clindoxyl. Within the first week or two my acne got worse (could be because I got my period around that time) and I was skeptical. But I kept using it. I saw major improvements within the first month. Now, after 3 months, my skin is COMPLETELY clear and I'm so happy about it. I have some post inflammatory hyperpigmentation on my forehead, but that'll fade with time and is barely noticeable. PLEASE TRY THIS.

Pros:

-Cleared up acne
-Didn't break out at all since I started using it

Cons:

- Skin was so dry the first month, but not anymore
-Expensive
-Can bleach bedding/clothing (I let it dry for at least half an hour, so I didn't have any problem)

I have been using this product along with Differin for 6 months (still on my first tubes), and they are amazing! I've had maybe 2 pimples in that time frame, (it was my fault for missing a night) but was gone the next day. If you start using it, your skin will most likely get dry, and your acne could get worse. But that's because it's cleaning out what's in your pores. If you keep at it, the results will be worth it.

Pros:

~clears skin!

Cons:

~very drying
~a little irritating at first!

my dermatologist told me to use this as a spot treatment only in the mornings. it really helps a lot! when I first used this, my skin was red and irritated. I got used to it, and it doesn't bother me anymore! it does make your skin quite dry, so you'll need to get a good moisturizer. my dermatologist suggested Cetaphil daily facial moistuizer with SPF 15. I love it! (=

Pros:

Cleans problem areas fast
Reduces appearance of scarring
Reduces oil on skin surface
Deep cleans pores

Cons:

Contains a bleach product

I used it on my back, and the acne began to clear up very fast. There was a huge reduction in the spots where the most acne was (small of the back, shoulders, back of neck) and had little signs of peeling. Though the price was exorbitant for me, (MSP didn't cover it) it was well worth it. I am not afraid to show my back anymore.
