Pros:

-absolutely wonderful, cleared my skin in 2 weeks!!

Cons:

-none
-the price might be an issue for some

Some may have found clindoxyl gel drying, but every night I would cleanse my face and then apply a thin layer of clindoxyl gel all over my face (carefully avoiding eye area) and then would let it dry and go to sleep. In the morning my skin was clear and not dry at all. After about 3 weeks of using it my moderate acne was actually completely gone and my skin was the best it's ever been. Sadly, I found in the 3rd month of using it that it was causing an allergic reaction. I woke up and my eyes were swollen shut and my lips were huge. It was the clindamycin.

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 up pimples fast~ whether the pimples r on your face, back, neck, shoulders.. this product works ;)

Cons:

bleaches hair
bleaches towels & shirts
THE REASON FOR THIS IS BECAUSE THE PRODUCT HAS "BENZOYL PEROXIDE" WHICH TENDS TO BLEACH THINGS SLIGHTLY but dont worry, your face won't get bleached lol

Well for starters i'm a black person who had severe acne & scars on my face. Some products that work for my friends of other races did not work for me. I found myself paying a whole lotta s#!t on products that didn't work.. but CLINDOXL WORKS! This product is also affordable. The orginial price I had to pay was about $50, but I ended spending $4 because it was already covered. I DON'T RECOMMENDED WEARING MAKEUP (foundation, powder, concealer) ONTOP OF THE GEL.. If you wear makeup during the day... then don't use the gel until you take off your makeup at night time! For me..I put the gel on only ONCE a day. Usually in the evening, then wash my face when i wake up in the morning. :-) lena.

Pros:

Clears Problem Areas for good
gets rid of scarring
Truly effective

Cons:

Only occasional small breakouts
Bleaches towels...only use WHITE ones, trust me.

Clindoxyl has really worked wonders with my skin. I started with proactiv, but it stopped working after a while. This happens with some people, with others it doesn't. I decided that i was fed up with it. I didn't want to keep covering up! then the more pimples I got, the more stressed I was. Which resulted in more pimples. I used to get one pimple every day. Then i would pop and squeeze them, only making them worse. Then I squeezed non-existant ones which resulted in a cut on my face. Not nice. I didn't want to fear looking in the mirror anymore. I wanted to feel good about myself. So, I went to clindoxyl. I was afraid it was going to get worse, so i was hesitant. Then, I took a risk and started using it. guess what? It worked. Of course, when i started treating my acne, it wasnt bad. But i'm convinced that if I left it, it would be out of control. I still break out, but at least It gets better. pms doesnt hlep either...I have insurance for this product.

Pros:

Gets rid of acne & the tiniest of pimples fast.

Cons:

Bleaches everything.

It works wonders. But the pharmacist said after 4 months i should stop because by then it has done all it can do. You are NOT screwed if you stop using it.

Pros:

Clears up breakouts quickly. This takes care of pimples overnight

Cons:

Slightly less effective over time. And it will bleach towels! I haven't managed to avoid this, even after 5 months. I'll wash it off my face in the morning, dry my hands on a towel, and wreck the towel. Oops.

This did not do the trick all alone, but it's great if you use it with an antibiotic. The antibiotic can clear up your acne over time, and this can be used to keep the pimples on the surface at bay. After treating my acne for 5 months I barely get pimples, and when I do this will clear them up overnight.

Pros:

Worked at healing and preventing acne (including cystic acne breakouts)

Cons:

When initially started severely dried skin, continued to add moisturizer
Bleaches everything!
Can only get as prescription not over the counter

I love this prescription! even if its bleached all my sleep tops. I had a severe breakout of cystic acne after stopping Tri-Cyclin for 6 months. Now I'm back on that prescription, plus Clindoxyl at night with moisturizer on sensitive areas that get dry, and Proactiv during the day. I'm not sure my skin has ever looked better, in the past I usually was battling at least one or two pimples and now nothing! Or if I do tingly pimple sensation I just put it on and next day its gone. You do have to be patient it took 2 months before I really believed and saw and difference (Boyfriend saw a big difference in a couple of weeks). It does bleach your cloths but I was prepared for that after using Proactiv for years. I only wish the tube was bigger, I'm now rationing the medication. I feel like I've tried everything over the counter, I highly recommend this topical prescription!
