Pros:

- prevents pimples/pustles
- overtime it reduces blackheads
- brightens complexion or helps to fade marks (either one)
- tube lasts 4 months

Cons:

- may come with an intial breakout which lasted me 2 months
- expensive without insurance
- kinda dry/irritating but not as much as other bp treatments

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.

Pros:

Dries skin fast. Skin feels nice and smooth in the morning. My complexion looks more even in the mornings. Easy to use. Affordable with health insurence.

Cons:

Kind of irritates my skin a bit if I apply it after exfoliating. DO NOT apply if you have been in the sun during the day (burns badly). bleeched my towels.

I have used it on and off for a year. It works very well. Not neccissarily getting rid of pimples, but drying them out so they will go away faster. I switch between this and differin (a product that unclogs hair follicles and pores). I find Clindoxyl a better product. Easier to apply. I find it makes my skin feel better than the differein. I don't know if it was Clindoxyl, or the Differin, or a combo of both, but I got my eye brows waxed, (not for the first time, had it done a bunch and it was fine) but the wax peeled my skin off. So my eye lids were very sensitive and were burnt and scraped from where my skin came off. So be careful with waxing and using the product. I was told, that you can't stay on an oral/antibiotic forever. But a lotion you can. So it's better to go with something topical, than taking something orally.

Pros:

- cleared up my skin quickly
- makes my skin look flawless

Cons:

- dried up my skin and made it itchy the first few times of usage

i only found out about this product after high school; when i used it and saw the difference in my skin, i wished i knew about it sooner!!! i had terrible acne in high school, both on my face and back and ever since using clindoxyl i hardly ever break out (maybe like one pimple when it's the time of the month- even then, if i see a pimple starting to come out i just put clindoxyl on it and it usually doesn't even come out anymore). I LOVE YOU CLINDOXYL!!! :D it changed my life!!! thank you!!!

Pros:

I found that it worked realitivly fast!!!
It did not dry my skin...I only put it in the areas that I was prone to break out, not all over my face. No need to waste a good thing.

Cons:

Haven't found one.

You do have to use it on a reg basis, because that's how medication works. I would only recommended it to a person that has a slight problem with acne...

Pros:

I thought it was working initially as it seemed to calm my skin down but then my skin gradually got worse...I got pimples in areas where I have never had a pimple before and I didn't even put the medication there (although I did in surrounding areas)

Cons:

Definitely made my skin worse!! I would never recommend this product (or most BP medications) to anyone with even remotely sensitive skin! It can potentially do more harm than good.

It may work for some but I for one will never use a BP product ever again! The lingering red marks take MUCH longer and are MUCH more pronounced when treated with BP. I hardly had any red marks (they were mostly light pink) when I did absolutely nothing to my skin (except wash it 2x a day) and now, after clindoxyl, I have the worst skin I've ever had in my life! I noticed the worsening of my skin and stopped using it after 2.5 weeks.

Pros:

it got rid of open zits and pimples

Cons:

it did nothing to the more complex acne spots

If you have an open zit or pimple i guarentee that clindoxyl will get rid of it. But if your like me and have several random huge red bombshells this product will not help.

Only cream that worked so far
I'm almost thirty and always had acne since I was 14. After using Roacutane for 9 months my skin got much better. But I would still get pimples close to my period and other days for no certain reason. After that used the pill for 3 years, which kept my acne under control. After decided to stop, acne came back worst than before. My doctor prescribed Clyndoxyl gel for me and has been the only thing that certainly work for me (apart from a low sugar-flour-badfat diet, which is difficult for me to refuse in some special days). I don't use Clyndoxyl anymore simply because it's an antibiotic, and as such has its side effects. But I would certainly recommend. I'm looking nowadays for a more natural product that helps keeping my acne under control. Still searching though 😕

oily skin
My derm prescribed this for me as a topical antibiotic. But I stopped using it within the first week because it made my oily skin oilier
