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

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?

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.

this product works great for about the first two months. it almost completely cleared my skin up, but now it has stopped workingand my acne is coming back. and it is even worse than before.

I started getting pimples since grade 4. Grade 4! Now I'm starting highschool, so I've been with acne for about 4 years already. I started to wear makeup to cover some pimples but mainly my really red cheeks which I hated since forever. Little did I know that it would make it worse. I used to have light-moderate acne just on my forehead, but now because of the makeup, I have it nearly all over my face. Sigh. I wished I never started to wear makeup. I went to the doctor's with my mom and she prescribed me this, along with Differin to use at night. When I woke up on the first day of using it, I noticed slight improvement on my acne and scarring on my cheeks. Second day, it kind of got a bit worse with the itching and more redness ... But I will continue to use it and see what happens. I need it my acne to be clear by the start of school, so I don't have to keep wearing makeup and making it worse. I also have to go to camp, which means makeup is a nono. I only have about a month left, I hope my acne would be almost gone by then! p.s. Does anyone know what product helps really persistent red cheeks and will not cause breakouts? I absolutely hate my redness.

It worked pretty well before i became immune to it, but it REALLY dried my skin up to a point where it was all flaking off, and people were actually noticing and pointing it out to me. Yes I moisturized but that really was no use. Now i have oily skin and i have stopped using it. Overall I think it's a good spot treatment for people with oily skin that aren't sensitive. I recommended it because some people might not become immune, and the people with the oily skin might not get dry skin.

Used it for a couple years and worked amazingly until my skin became immune to it :(

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.

I have been using clindoxyl gel for about 8 years. When I first started using it, I had horrible acne and the clindoxyl TOTALLY HELPED! It cleared everything up so that the only thing I had to worry about was the odd small zit that might pop up. As I continued using it however, I slowly built up an immunity to it and now it literally DOES NOTHING for me. I'm 22 and my skin is worse now than it was in highschool when clindoxyl was in its best working order.

I've used this product for 4-5 days and I've noticed a huge difference In the look and feel of my skin. Even though it may hurt sometimes It's TOTALLY worth it. I've tried everything to clear acne from Proactiv to Spectro Gel to Clean and Clear. None of those worked for me, but this is a miracle work for my skin.

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.
