Pros:

Popped pimples disappear by the next day
Cystic acne minimised after a night

Cons:

Expensive for the small amount
Packaging gets difficult to use towards the end

I've been using this extensively on my popped pimples (I know I shouldn't be popping them, but still). Once I've squeezed out the pus, I slab some on it and by the next day, the swelling and redness is gone! I've been using it on cystic acne & it has caused the swelling to go down by quite a bit.

Pros:

-Noticeable difference within days
-Pimples are smaller
-Easy to apply

Cons:

-Flakiness
-Because the Benzoyl Peroxide pulls the bacteria up, for the first few days, you may break out even worse.

So far, the benefits have outweighed the cons. Within a few days of starting with the Clindoxyl gel, I've noticed improvements on my face. The larger pimples were much smaller and some of the redness was disappearing. I recommend you start this treatment on the night before a weekend or some day you do not have to go anywhere. The first night or two, you will wake up in the morning looking worse than before, but it is because of the benzoyl peroxide pulling the bacteria from under the skin up. This disappears within a day or two, but still a little disheartening at first. I also recommend that after washing your face in the morning (a MUST with this stuff, if you don't wash it off in the morning you will break out like MAD), you should apply some aloe vera to your face. I just use the storebought aloe vera gel, and it helps get rid of the dryness and flakiness caused by the Clindoxyl gel. Overall, it really does get rid of the acne fairly well. You just need to do some extras to make it really work. Who said getting rid of ance was easy anyway?

Pros:

- prevents pimples/pustles
- overtime it reduces blackheads
- brightens complexion or helps to fade marks (either one)
- tube lasts 4 months

Cons:

- may come with an intial breakout which lasted me 2 months
- expensive without insurance
- kinda dry/irritating but not as much as other bp treatments

I have been using this for about 4 months, i do not get breakouts anymore. The intial purge was tiny whiteheads that came and went overnight. It left behind no mark or anything. Try it out for sure.

Pros:

-worked very fastb within 2 days pimples shrunk to almost nothing.
-did not burn at all and will not rub off on pillow cases

Cons:

a little drying. that is why it is for spot treatment only! I only apply it to the actual visible pimples.

This product is for sot treatment I repeat DO NOT RUB ALL OVER THE FACE in areas where there is no pimple..Apply directly on the pimple and let it stay on there. Do not rub in other areas just dap on the pimples and leave on and you will get wonderful results :) anymore info contact cerine221@[link removed]

Pros:

- Works in just few days

Cons:

- Can't handle the infection under the skin

It's great if you have a lot of blackheads and surface acne. Helped with the redness too. The doctor I visited said it couldn't handle the infection under the skin, which resulted in many swollen pus pimples that were visible to the surface but weren't affected by clindoxyl. I tried it for four weeks and in the beginning it cleared many surface problems in just few days. In the long run it didn't clear everything. Let the search for my magic pill continue!

Pros:

Clears skin fast

Cons:

little irritation at first

I've been usining Clindoxyl Gel for about 3 weeks now and I totally see a difference in my skin. I'm 41 and just started experiencing adult acne for about the last 5 years and I've tried everything from Proactive to drugstore products such as Vichy Normaderm and nothing has really worked until I started using Clindoxyl. My only concern is that I've been have diareaha (sp?) since I started and I know that is supposed to be one of the side effects, but can anyone tell me how long that is supposed to last?

Pros:

Dries out zits
Gets rid of some whiteheads

Cons:

The area that you put it on gets really dry (and i have oily skin)
Leaves a red mark behind
I became immune to it after my 2nd tube

It worked pretty well before i became immune to it, but it REALLY dried my skin up to a point where it was all flaking off, and people were actually noticing and pointing it out to me. Yes I moisturized but that really was no use. Now i have oily skin and i have stopped using it. Overall I think it's a good spot treatment for people with oily skin that aren't sensitive. I recommended it because some people might not become immune, and the people with the oily skin might not get dry skin.

Pros:

It's easy to put on and ive only used this product for 4-5days and I have noticed a huge difference in the overall apperance in my skin.

Cons:

Dries your face, makes it peel slightly, kind of burns sometimes.

I've used this product for 4-5 days and I've noticed a huge difference In the look and feel of my skin. Even though it may hurt sometimes It's TOTALLY worth it. I've tried everything to clear acne from Proactiv to Spectro Gel to Clean and Clear. None of those worked for me, but this is a miracle work for my skin.

Pros:

It makes your acne and scars look less red after applying and it dries up your pimples and it looks smooth after applying.

Cons:

BUT. After washing it off, the whitehead is still there and small pimples appeared. 40$ for a 25g.

I have tried this product for 4days some pimples have disappeared some still there and small ones grew. You cannot apply makeup if you want it to work though. I applied makeup in the morning after washing and when I got home and washed it off. my whiteheads looked so disgusting.
