Pros:

Improves appearance of blemishes overnight, pleasant smell, nice consistency, dries quickly

Cons:

Bleaches clothing, expensive without insurance.

I wouldn't want to live without Clindoxyl Gel. I was initially prescribed it about 3 years ago as part of an acne regiment that also included Diane-35. I had severe acne over my back and chest, which basically cleared up after about 6 months. I am now off the Diane (have been for about 2 years), and use Clindoxyl as a spot treatment for my light back and facial acne. This stuff is magic for my skin, it significantly improves the appearance of pimples in hours and keeps the breakouts in check. It doesn't prevent my acne - but it gets rid of the spots like no other.

Pros:

Makes your pimples smaller pretty fast like within 5 hours.
I remember when I first started using it, I had a few big pimples, and it made it really small.

Cons:

Kinda dried out my skin, but I'm okay with it.
It DOESNT WORK
i used it for 1 month and half now, and my pimples are still there, it's smaller, but there's more of them now. I think my skin developed some protection against this medication or something. So it is just not working now.
It's pretty expensive however if you have insurance it's okay

if you don't have alot of pimples then I guess it would be pretty good. And it's good to buy it if you have insurance. My dad's insurance paid everything, so I didnt really have to pay for it. I dont't really think it's worth it. It really made my 0.00skin pretty awful.

Pros:

I am a dark skin Indian man, I have had acne since I was 14 and am 25 now. I was prescribed clindoxyl by my doctor, because it was expensive I wanted to read a little about it before I paid for it. After reading a little about it here I went ahead and got it. To my amazement it got rid of all my acne in a week, first I thought it may be a fluke but after 5 months I have not got a single pimple. I use it every night and dont dare to miss applying it ever, I cant belive at last I dont have acne.

Cons:

a little expensive Paid $50 Canadian for it.

For someone who has tried Accutane and a lot of other creams Clindoxyl is a miracle gel. With little or no side affects. It makes sense why you would get pimples back if you quit using this cream. It says in the description for the product that it kills the bacteria that causes the acne and tightens pores if you quit the bacteria continue to grow and cause pimples and pores open up to allow dirt to enter your skin. I have noticed smaller pores in my before and after photos that the Dermatologist took. I hope if you have severe pimples (specially of Indian descent) you talk to your doctor about this. I had even quit masturbating thinking that was the cause of my acne :P

Pros:

-worked very fastb within 2 days pimples shrunk to almost nothing.
-did not burn at all and will not rub off on pillow cases

Cons:

a little drying. that is why it is for spot treatment only! I only apply it to the actual visible pimples.

This product is for sot treatment I repeat DO NOT RUB ALL OVER THE FACE in areas where there is no pimple..Apply directly on the pimple and let it stay on there. Do not rub in other areas just dap on the pimples and leave on and you will get wonderful results :) anymore info contact cerine221@[link removed]

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:

Helps Keep skin Clear
Light weight/None Oily
Good for sensative Skin

Cons:

None after 5 months of use.

I suffer from moderate acne and my face has cleared up within the past month rather well. My skin regimine is this: Neutrogena Adult Skin Sylacilic Acid Wash Once a week: Vaseline Dry face: Clindamyacin Clinique Ance hydrating mostiurizer Benzoyl Peroxide when needed. I use vaseline (100% petrolleum jelly) on my face in the shower and basically put it on like a lotion after my face has been wet for about 3 minutes, then I rub it in and wash it off. It hasn't clogged my pores or irritated my skin. I do this so that my face won't dry so much and so far it's worked really good. The clindamyacin works well with helping your face not get so dried out. If you plan to use Vaseline on your fface make sure the jar says "non-comedegenic" because that lets you know that your face pores won't get clogged. GOOD LUCK!!!!

Pros:

- Works in just few days

Cons:

- Can't handle the infection under the skin

It's great if you have a lot of blackheads and surface acne. Helped with the redness too. The doctor I visited said it couldn't handle the infection under the skin, which resulted in many swollen pus pimples that were visible to the surface but weren't affected by clindoxyl. I tried it for four weeks and in the beginning it cleared many surface problems in just few days. In the long run it didn't clear everything. Let the search for my magic pill continue!

Pros:

- Clears up acne fast

Cons:

- dries up skin
- expensive

I've been using this product for over 3 years now. It worked amazingly well. Overnight, my acne disappeared. It does tend to dry up my skin, so I have to use a bit of moisturizer. The costs is a bit expensive, but overall, I think it's worth it.

Pros:

~clears skin!

Cons:

~very drying
~a little irritating at first!

my dermatologist told me to use this as a spot treatment only in the mornings. it really helps a lot! when I first used this, my skin was red and irritated. I got used to it, and it doesn't bother me anymore! it does make your skin quite dry, so you'll need to get a good moisturizer. my dermatologist suggested Cetaphil daily facial moistuizer with SPF 15. I love it! (=
