Clindoxyl : Clindamycin (1%) and Benzoyl Peroxide (5%) Gel

I've been dealing with light acne for about 7 years, it's gotten more severe over the past 2 years. Two months ago i had a horrible breakout, 5 deep zits on one cheek, 4 more on the other side close to my nose, and deep acne on my chin. They were red, angry, and puffy, make up did nothing to cover them. I tried to get rid of them with hydrocortizone cream and nuetrogena cream but it did nothing. I think i didnt go out of the house for 3 weeks, i missed work because of it. So i went to the doctor and he gave me Clindoxyl Gel, cost $56.00. He told me to put it on 2 hours before bed, keep it on for an hour then wash it off with warm water, then gradually have it so you put it on an hour before bed then wash it off in the morning. It took 3 days before i noticed a difference, on the 5th day i could tell my spots were smaller. 2 weeks later my acne was nothing but small red marks, i kept putting the gel on my acne and another 2 weeks it was completely gone. At first the gel drys out your skin pretty bad, but i used Nuetrogena sensitive skin, oil and fragrence free moisturizer, and after 2 weeks the gel didn't dry me out anymore. I put the moisturizer on in the morning after i washed my face with warm water. I've been using it for about a month and a half now and my face is 90% clear and smooth. I've found that the Clindoxyl gel brings out deep, hard, painful acne on my chin sometimes. I think this is just deep dirt in my skin thats it's bringing out and eventually i won't get it anymore. I have seen though that in the first month i was getting a lot of black and white heads, it wasn't a big deal, i would just steam my face and carefully pop/push them out and put some gel on it and i couldnt even tell in the morning. Because i've done this the deep blackheads ive had on my cheeks and forehead for years are gone! I've you are fed up with acne then get this product! Within 3 weeks to a month your skin will be great. Im so happy and confident n

This product is amazing!! It got rid of my acne completely, and I got a lot of compliments on my skin :)

i' m 22 years old and have never had any severe issues with my skin, just mild breakouts a week before my period and stubborn black heads but it wasnt until the beginning of this past summer it started out with small rash like bumps on my forehead that i thought were just from the heat and sweating, but it started spreading down my face , along my jawline and eventually felt like every single pore on my face was a little pimple. only some would form whiteheads but it wasn't until i noticed larger cyst like bumps appearing along my jaw line that were deep under the skin and would stay for weeks! in the light my face looked rough and bumpy, and felt like it was overloaded with oil. so after an entire summer of ugliness i finally made an appointment with my Dr. and she prescribed clindoxyl .. I started it mid september and have been using it twice a day, once in the morning and once before bed. its been about 2 months now and have noticed a huge difference with everything my skin isnt oily anymore and all the little bumps that were everywhere are gone. i had a alot of scarring before too and it has really evened out my overall complexion and dark spots. my pores are smaller and i havnt had a serious breakout in a few weeks, just little ones before my period which are expected. the cysts are gone completely and the overall redness in my complexion is gone. i really tried to avoid wearing make up while ive been using clindoxyl which is difficult to do but has paid off because now i hardly wear it at all because i dont feel like i need to conceal anything. I was using a bareminerals foundation powder which was light and non comogetic every so often and didnt experience any reaction to it. i did experience a little dryness but used a oil free moisterizer in the morning about 20 minutes after applying the gel. bottm line... it works. you just have to be patient. hope this helped.

So far, the benefits have outweighed the cons. Within a few days of starting with the Clindoxyl gel, I've noticed improvements on my face. The larger pimples were much smaller and some of the redness was disappearing. I recommend you start this treatment on the night before a weekend or some day you do not have to go anywhere. The first night or two, you will wake up in the morning looking worse than before, but it is because of the benzoyl peroxide pulling the bacteria from under the skin up. This disappears within a day or two, but still a little disheartening at first. I also recommend that after washing your face in the morning (a MUST with this stuff, if you don't wash it off in the morning you will break out like MAD), you should apply some aloe vera to your face. I just use the storebought aloe vera gel, and it helps get rid of the dryness and flakiness caused by the Clindoxyl gel. Overall, it really does get rid of the acne fairly well. You just need to do some extras to make it really work. Who said getting rid of ance was easy anyway?

If your willing to withstand the itching and wait for the results, it might be a good product for you. And just to say, its itches ALOT

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!!

I have only been using this product for 1 week and I've already seen improvements. I had been using Stievamycin gel (a similar product) for almost a year prior to this so my skin probably got used to these ingredients and as a result, did not breakout at first. My acne has definitely gotten better after using this product. I'm so excited! For sure, try this out but for people who haven't used products similar to this, your skin may get worse for maybe around 2 weeks before it gets better. Just be patient!

I don't know what to say except that it WORKS. I put it before I go to bed and when I wake up in the morning, the pimple is almost gone (a normal size pimple). This is just amazing... It cleared all my acne (I only have a few pimples sometimes but hey, I'm 17 :P) and I had A LOT of it! I can't live without this stuff!

I have been using this for about 4 months, i do not get breakouts anymore. The intial purge was tiny whiteheads that came and went overnight. It left behind no mark or anything. Try it out for sure.

i have terrible acne ever since the age of 13 cystic acne too, i spent hundreds of dollars on brands like Clearasil clean and clear but they just made it worse, last thing i could do was go to my doctor and he recommended clindoxl gel, this is the best product i have ever used if you have bad acne i my recommend it your pimples are 10x lighter in the morning. AMAZING PRODUCT!
