Pros:

Prevents breakouts, you dont need to use a lot, gets rid of acne scars, actually works if you give it time, teaches you patients.

Cons:

it feels a little sticky on my skin, takes time, it works different for different people, makes my skin very dry.

Me and my brother have been using the clindoxyl gel for about a month and a half. It is improving my brothers acne a bit better then it is mine, but I can tell that its working. I like how it goes on easily and you don't need a lot of it so it will last a long time. And I like how you only need to use it once a day. It takes a little while to see the improvments but its worth waiting for.

Works Great!
It took about 5-6 months for Clindoxyl to start working, but after this initial period, it has been working wonders! I started the cream at the end of October, and by March by skin was absolutely perfect. During the first month or two, my skin was so irritated and super dry and red, but don't give up! You have to wait through that period and stick with it, because it'll be worth it. I used to have horrible acne on my chin and around my mouth, and I haven't had a pimple in months. Not even one. You can even skip a day or two of Clindoxyl and you'll still be fine. I suffer from food intolerance, and my skin was always super sensitive to food/alcohol, sweat, etc. but now it no longer is. I use this cream in the morning, paired with Differin cream in the evening (both prescriptions), and the combination is awesome. It makes my face feel a little bit dry, and it makes my skin a bit oilier, but nothing some moisturizer and powder can't fix. Would totally recommend! Don't give up if your skin isn't great in the first few months.

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:

-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:

~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.

Pros:

-Clears acne
-Prevents most breakouts
-'Zaps' zits away within a few days

Cons:

-Can be dry, I always use a moisturizer after putting on the gel
-Bleaches towels
-Can't be worn under makeup usually

This product works! It has done a great job of clearing up my problem areas. Seems to dry up and zap away zits within a few days. I rarely ever get blind pimples, but I got one a month ago or so and it even worked on that, it was gone in less than a week! You have to make sure you don't try popping or picking any pimples (which is hard for me) but if you can do that it DEFINITELY makes your skin look way better!

Satisfactory
I've used Clindoxyl previously while on Diane-35 and it cleared my skin up perfectly in about 3 months. Diet, exfoliation or sweat did not affect my skin. I went off Diane-35 and there was a back-order of Clindoxyl and in about 8 months by moderate acne came back. I have been back on Clindoxyl for 10 weeks now, applying it every night after moisturizing (before moisturizing tends to irritate my skin way too much) and my acne is mostly improved. Exfoliation with just a washcloth still makes me break-out and I can't wear make-up because it will show the dry skin. My skin is also quite rough and red in places but hopefully that will get better once I can decrease the dose to once every other day. Basically, it works, but you have to be quite careful to wash your hands, moisturize enough, but touch/irritate your skin as little as possible.
