Pros:

Works fast
Clears cysts!

Cons:

Dries skin a little
Can cause initial breakout

I have had bad acne since I was 14 and tried Proactiv and other acne regimens with no success. A few years back I decided to see a derm and she prescribed me Clindoxyl gel, I started seeing good results within 2 weeks. Within a month my skin looked amazing! Recently my acne has come back so I am back on Clindoxyl gel. I assume this is because I was inconsistent when I used it. Please be aware that when you are using this prescription that you must stick with applying it once in the morning and once before bed if you want to keep the bacteria away! Even if your skin is staying clear keep applying the Clindoxyl gel, otherwise the bacteria will come back causing you more breakouts! Use up your complete prescription (ex: I was prescribed Clindoxyl for 6 months, so I must use it for the 6 full months) Also because Clindoxyl gel is killing the bacteria under your skin you may break out worse, do NOT stop applying it. Your breakouts will get better! Believe me it is worth it! If you find that your face is burning or stinging apply the Clindoxyl gel for only 15 minutes and then wash it off, my pharmacist told me to do this because I have very fair and sensitive skin. It still worked amazing! This is a great way to keep your skin clear as long as you stick with it! Good luck!!

Pros:

The pimples were smaller and went away faster

Cons:

it dried the crap out of the skin around my mouth and actually caused it to break out pretty bad. I definitely think its gotten worse, although its not as bad as it was a week ago.

Really not worth it. Gave me false hope

Pros:

works very well at clearing up pimples
pretty fast acting
agreeable with skin

Cons:

very strong , so could tend to dry out skin a bit
you have to use it consistently or your acne will come back

overall i would say this product is worth it . it cleared my acne almost completely within about 6 weeks . one thing to be sure of when using clindoxyl is to only apply it where you break out or have acne already , if you put it on your entire face it will dry it out like crazy . it may cause a bit of dryness but you can always fix that with a good moisturizer . helped with a lot of my scarring too ! i would give this product a try , ive tried just about everything and nothing worked except this .

Pros:

My doctor originally prescribed me Retin-A but I found it was irritating and drying up my skin too much, Ive been using this for about a month now and I definetly have seen an improvement.

Surprisingly it doesn't aggravate my skin, I recommend it!

Pros:

Easy to use, always available, can be used with other acne treatments.

Cons:

My acne got worse, it bleached the hair that it touched at my hairline and my pillowcase.

Its worth the try, its not only affordable but some people have found it extremely effective. Its not painful and there are no side-effects. You can continue using your daily cleanser and moisturizer and it has no effect on your birth control. It didn't work for me, but it could work for you, and that's why I recommended it. Although it was ineffective for me, it could work for you.

stopped working
it works for a while.. but just when your skin gets good, it loses its effectiveness. It worked for a while with me, then just stopped.

Pros:

-works quickly
-you don't need much
-if you have insurance it is covered

Cons:

-I did not have any side affects however I use 100% pure argon oil as a moisturizer so that is most likely why

This product is a god send within 5 days my acne significantly improved to the point that people actually noticed. As an acne sufferer for 10+ years I was amazed and I still am. As stated above I used 100% argon oil as my moisturizer I recommend this to everyone. You don't need to use much of either product just enough to give a very thin layer is enough. I am so grateful I asked my dr not only am I getting clear skin but thanks to Insurance it's free even if it wasnt this is well worth it

Pros:

-clears up severe acne within a matter of weeks

Cons:

-you will still breakout
-you will eventually build up an immunity to it

I have been using clindoxyl gel for about 8 years. When I first started using it, I had horrible acne and the clindoxyl TOTALLY HELPED! It cleared everything up so that the only thing I had to worry about was the odd small zit that might pop up. As I continued using it however, I slowly built up an immunity to it and now it literally DOES NOTHING for me. I'm 22 and my skin is worse now than it was in highschool when clindoxyl was in its best working order.
