Only cream that worked so far
I'm almost thirty and always had acne since I was 14. After using Roacutane for 9 months my skin got much better. But I would still get pimples close to my period and other days for no certain reason. After that used the pill for 3 years, which kept my acne under control. After decided to stop, acne came back worst than before. My doctor prescribed Clyndoxyl gel for me and has been the only thing that certainly work for me (apart from a low sugar-flour-badfat diet, which is difficult for me to refuse in some special days). I don't use Clyndoxyl anymore simply because it's an antibiotic, and as such has its side effects. But I would certainly recommend. I'm looking nowadays for a more natural product that helps keeping my acne under control. Still searching though 😕

Really effective, however can cause certain pimples
I decided to finally see my doctor about my acne in order to get my skin nice and clear, as I have combination skin with moderate acne. When I first tried this out, I found that it felt a lot like glue but it felt really nice on the skin. A lot of people have complained that it dries out their skin, but for me, it actually made it feel softer and healthier. At first, I did breakout quite a bit, but I stuck through it, and after about 2-3 weeks, it got a loooot better. It did an amazing job getting rid of my pimples, as all my small pimples disappeared while I used this. However, I noticed that I always got this one HUGE pimple here and there while using this, even though everything else cleared up. Luckily, this only happened in the first 2-3 weeks, but afterwards, Clindoxyl kept my skin clear, smooth and in great shape. I noticed that this is most effective when you apply it to your whole face and go to sleep with it. It also makes my skin feel very clean the next day and makes it feel like my skin's immune to breakouts after a while. I also noticed that you probably need to keep using this for 6-12 months, as I used it for 2 months, and then stopped, causing my face to break out again a couple of weeks later, so I am currently deciding to repurchase it. It's kinda pricey, as it cost $60 for me to buy, but it lasts around 2 months, and it works well for me, so it's definitely worth it. I will continue to review this product as I will start using it again shortly. :) UPDATE: I am now beginning my second trial of Clindoxyl, along with oral medication. Hopefully this works well, and I'll continue to update as I go. I just got off of TactuPump, which helped greatly at first, but now stopped working and also caused my face to be quite red. My doctor prescribed me Clindoxyl for the outside and the oral medicine for the inside, haha. Wish me luck!

No Pain no Gain

Pros:

Reduces Acne Size
Clears up skin (might take time - 1 week?)

Cons:

Dryness,inflammation (for first time user)
Contain antibiotics.

I went for facial before prom and the spa lady gave me this cream. I didn't have severe acne but they were very consistent. The first time I tried it on my skin was dry, itchy, red, and it stinnngssss. However, I kept on using this cream for a more days and my acne really did clear up. My friends noticed the changes and they say. "hey, you look different. I don't know what it is.. but you look different. " To me that is basically the most truthful compliment I got in a while. This product contains antibotics.. so I won't use this all the time. Right now.. my acne is kinda under control.. I don't have a lot of breakouts like I used to. Occasionally, I would get a zit here and there.. but that's probably from my diet. When I do have a zit, I just dab it on and it reduces the size overnight. This cream really works..and I have never looked so beautiful since the first day I got acne. Tip: Don't use it all the time cuz ur skin might be resistant to it after a while.

My face experience the same sensation likr yours I wanna stop using it
June 27, 2009

Pros:

Quick results (takes 3-4 days before you really start noticing a difference)
Does a good job of removing acne

Cons:

I heard once you stop using it acne comes back..haven't experienced this because ive only been using it for about 4-5 days!
annoying to apply every night but well worth it

Good results , fast results and side affects arent too bad but if what they say about acne coming back once you discontinue use is true maybe its not a permanent fix? I also wonder what it will do to my kin in the long run.

Pros:

The good thing with this acne cream is that it slowly helps reduce your acne.

Cons:

Using it around your eyes can cause really bad burns and redness. My skin gets really red, especially in the mornings, after i wash it off

I haven't used it long enough to determine whether its worth the price, however it seems to be working a bit. Make sure you dont apply it near the eyes and dont use any other acne medication with it.

Pros:

works, even on hormonal acne

Cons:

flaky!
heard it stops working after a while?

this can make your skin flake but it works pretty well if you use consistently. lately, i've been diluting it by splashing some warm water on my face before applying it. It opens up the pores and it forces me to use less --this has made the flaking reduce a bit. I use cetaphil moisturizer w/ a high spf and I still haven't been able to put down my clinique foundation. I also try to use Mario Badescu's "healing and soothing" mask at least once a week to combat the dryness and flakiness this can cause if you overuse. If you're just starting this, make sure you stick with it and don't miss more than one day--I forgot my tube at my folks' house recently and my face exploded during the week I didn't use it, went right back to square one! PS I let it dry completely before I get into bed and I haven't bleached any clothing or bedding in 2-3 months of use so far.

Pros:

- Clears acne
- works fast (cleared the acne on my face/forehead within a week)

Cons:

- EXPENSIVE
- small tube (doesn't last very long if you have body acne as well)
- didn't really notice any effects on scars
- didn't really help with body acne

It's a good product although expensive. I didn't notice any drying of skin, but that's probably because i have oily skin.My acne scars look about the same but hopefully those will start to lighten up a bit the more i use this. Try this out, it may be your solution.

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.
