Pros:

it works great! Takes a little while, but it clears up zits and gets rid of excess oil! I've seen a complete difference, people always look at me now and say, "wow ... you're skin is really cleared up ... no offence." None taken!!!:)

Cons:

dried out my skin and made it itchy. But i strated applying a moisturizer a little while after i put it on and that fixes that problem.

a bit pricy, and you'll need a good moisturizer, but so far the best thing ive tried.

Pros:

This product works very well. My acne cleared up within a week. This is the only topical acne treatment that actually helped.

Cons:

It can make your skin a little red and dry at first, so do not apply too much, a thin layer will do. Also, it is a little expensive.

I've been using this cream for over a year and I will continue to use it because it is amazing.

Pros:

Worked. Plain and simple. Got rid of my junk.

Cons:

No, cons so far. But, I've been reading the comments and people say it comes back if you stop...that sucks. I haven't stopped so can't tell.

Good stuff that got rid of my acne. Although, my face wasn't really that bad. Just small stuff that i couldn't get rid of but the gel worked. Sucks if you don't have insurance though. Cost me $40.oo.

Pros:

Clears skin fast

Cons:

little irritation at first

I've been usining Clindoxyl Gel for about 3 weeks now and I totally see a difference in my skin. I'm 41 and just started experiencing adult acne for about the last 5 years and I've tried everything from Proactive to drugstore products such as Vichy Normaderm and nothing has really worked until I started using Clindoxyl. My only concern is that I've been have diareaha (sp?) since I started and I know that is supposed to be one of the side effects, but can anyone tell me how long that is supposed to last?

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:

Cleared up acne really well :)

Cons:

Hard and difficult to use on back or shoulders if you have acne anywhere other than face, tends to bleech clothes or pillow sna dbed sheets, effects stop when you stop using almost immediately.

I was prescribed this before I tried the birth control pill. i really liked it but I developed a tolerance to it after a about 2 years of taking it. I took a break from it and now I just use it as a sort of spot treatment for any breakouts (like if I went out to the bar and wore a heavy make up and had a few pimples the next day) and it works very well. I liked that using this my acne didnt have to get worse before it got better. Also made face more sensitve than it aready was to sun, and if I ever put it on jsut before putting a shirt on in the morning, that shirt alwasy presented with a bleech like effect around the neck and sometimes on the shoulders.

Pros:

Works within days.
Cleared up my pustules (the big, red, pus-filled ones)

Cons:

Caused dryness, redness, irritation but that decreased the longer I used it.
Didn't work on my comedones (the tiny, skin-coloured bumps)
Bleached my pj's

My doctor gave this to me the first time I went to him about my acne. I used a thin layer all over my face every night and it got rid of my bigger pimples. However I was still left with lots of tiny bumps on my cheek. My doctor prescribed me Tretinoin to get rid of those but my skin got too irritated when I tried to use both every day. Now I just spot treat the bigger pimples with Clindoxyl when they pop up. They are usually smaller by the next morning and are totally gone within a few days. I've used this for about 2 years but I ran out of it for a month before I could get my prescription renewed so now I'm going through the getting irritated by Clindoxyl stage again. My pharmacist recommended that at first I just use it for a few hours in the evening then wash it off and work my way up leaving it on overnight so that my skin can get used to it. I really recommend that to anyone who's just starting to use it so you won't wake up with a bright red, itchy face.
