Pros:

it gets rid of pimples within a few days, once you've used it for a few weeks, it clears pimples up overnight and also decreases swelling

Cons:

bleaches towel, sheets

this is a very good product to use if you have minor to severe acne. it's affordable if you have health insurance (it only costs 8 dollars on my health plan)

Pros:

I use Clindoxyl for my back, where I have light/moderate acne but widespread. I've found after a few weeks I hardly had any more pimples, and it seemed to help with scars too, although I can't really tell. No amazing cure, but I saw a difference.

Cons:

It seems to work better in some areas more than others, eg. it helped my upper back way better than my lower back. Also, it REALLY dried out my skin around my neck and shoulders.

I'd say try it, it doesn't sting, isn't majorly drying, and it works. Just keep at it and try not to get too discouraged! Also don't put on too much, if you do your skin gets really tight and feels gross, and also be careful with your clothes, because if you use it for your back, chest, whatever, it definitely does BLEACH!

Pros:

Dries skin fast. Skin feels nice and smooth in the morning. My complexion looks more even in the mornings. Easy to use. Affordable with health insurence.

Cons:

Kind of irritates my skin a bit if I apply it after exfoliating. DO NOT apply if you have been in the sun during the day (burns badly). bleeched my towels.

I have used it on and off for a year. It works very well. Not neccissarily getting rid of pimples, but drying them out so they will go away faster. I switch between this and differin (a product that unclogs hair follicles and pores). I find Clindoxyl a better product. Easier to apply. I find it makes my skin feel better than the differein. I don't know if it was Clindoxyl, or the Differin, or a combo of both, but I got my eye brows waxed, (not for the first time, had it done a bunch and it was fine) but the wax peeled my skin off. So my eye lids were very sensitive and were burnt and scraped from where my skin came off. So be careful with waxing and using the product. I was told, that you can't stay on an oral/antibiotic forever. But a lotion you can. So it's better to go with something topical, than taking something orally.

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:

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:

I used it in the summer before school and it helped get rid of my acne almost completely!

Cons:

- It takes quite a while, it took me like two months to completely get rid of my acne, annoying to leave on my face, acne came back when I discontinued the use.

Overall it works great, but I recommend drinking green tea as well and lots of water. Also buy a good moisturizer and face wash, likr Cetaphil. Worth buying for sure though.

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:

Reacts fast
Clears up acne =)

Cons:

You need to use it on a regular basis or you'll breakout, and $50+ every time is a bit expensive =
It drys out my skin a little bit but nothing noticable. If you drink enough water you don't even need a moisturizer.

Good but expensive. It also takes a while to clear up completely but be patient =)

Pros:

Works well in the beginning, cleared my skin up very fast.

Cons:

Stops working with time, and completely burns your skin. When you stop using it, your skin breaks out and becomes worst than it was before using it.

Use only on a short period of time

Pros:

No smell, gel like texture which spreads easy on face.
Works very well. Within a week had seen a difference.
Great for spot treatment as well. LOW COST CAUSE OF INSURANCE!

Cons:

Dries skin.
Get a good moisturizer.

Great product. have used for a little over a week. May make skin a bit worse before it gets better because it brings the acne to the surface first. STICK WITH IT! It's worth it.
