Pros:

Clears acne
does not dry skin
evens skin tone

Cons:

need prescription

I have not worn no foundation since I was like 13. I had the most severe acne. I began taking diane 35 for 2 months (which I highly recommend), afterwards (last two months) I have been using this. I believe this is what is keeping my acne at bay because if I miss a night i will get a pimple or two but after the next night and applying this they are gone again. I had to wear foundation my whole life and hated it! My skin was SOO bad! I feel so amazing, I am finally comfortable in my own skin and never thought I'd feel that way! It would not hurt to try this!!!!!

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:

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:

-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:

NONE

Cons:

Made pimples last way longer than normal
Left dark red marks where pimples were

Normally I have pimples that last about a week and by then they are ready to be extracted and heal completely fine by the next week. However after this gel my pimples lasted wayyyyyy longer (4 weeks) instead of my normal 1 week. And not only that, it left DARK RED marks when the pimples were gone. This has never happened to my skin before. I will most definitely not be using this again! Thankfully I got this for free because of my medical plan.

Pros:

-Faded acne scars
-Noticed improvement within the first 3 days.
-Clearer skin
-Even skin tone

Cons:

-Expensive for the amount they give you
-Slight peeling from the first few usages (but that's usually normal for an acne medication)
-You must use it every night... I skipped 1 night by accident, luckily nothing happened, but when I ran out of it for about a week and a bit, my skin started to get bad again.

The kind of acne I had, which was more under the skin type of deal, and very uneven; this gel cleared it right up. Within the first week, I noticed improvement with the texture of my skin, the evenness, and the amount of blemishes per week I was getting, dramatically decreased after using this. I recommend it to anyone. Try it! I tried almost EVERYTHING, and felt like there was nothing out there that would cure my skin- until I tried this. Requires a prescription, but it's worth it! Trust me! Some cases I've heard about the clindoxyl gel, and that it worked for awhile, and then their skin stopped responding to it- but that wasn't the case with me.

Pros:

cleared up acne overnight!
reduced visible scars

Cons:

drying (but what's worse: acne or dry skin?)
a bit itchy

if you have not tried, this try it now! I've used clindoxyl gel for over 6 months now, I stopped for 2 months and my acne flared back up, I restarted using clindoxyl gel yesterday. Overnight it started to clear up my cystic acne, along with my all whiteheads.

Cons:

Gave me:
-redness
-hives
-rash
-itchiness
-burning
-puffiness

The first time I used it it burned, and the next day the side of my face was itchy. About a week later the rash and redness and itchiness is still here. I have not seen any positive changes in my skin, because it has only been a week and a half. Around my lips and the side of my face are puffy, have hives and are EXTREMELY itchy. I have cystic pimples on my chin, which haven't gone away.
