Pros:

It will work miracles for awhile, for about a year or so.

Cons:

Eventually your skin gets use to the cream because there is a antibiotic in it, and the cream will not have the effect it did at first .

The good news is that there is a BP 5% lotion in it as well and that will continue to work. However the fact is you will be dissapointed because the amazing results you see at first will not last. In the long run it is just another BP topical lotion that will work average. If you want a year of no worries with perfect skin give it some time when you first get on it and that is what you will get. Trust me I know I have tried everything out there (Expensive brands..Zirh, Biotherm, Vichy, Clairns, Clinique, Avene etc..) Ive tried the typical brands (Oxy, Neutrogena, Nivea, Cetaphil, Spectro Jel, Dove, all different soaps). The best thing you can do is find a non-irritating cleanser (the only one that works for me is Spectro Purple bottle..it is the best) wash morning and night and if you need to use a BP lotion at night until you grow out of acne. Take a step back, relax, go out and have fun and dont worry about. You one life to live make it count

Pros:

Instant improvement, dryness is really minor (compared to other products I've used) and actually can be soothing sometimes. Compatible with makeup and other face products. Never had a reaction. No smell.

Cons:

Isn't perfect. Have to stay on it permanently, it seems. I still get a few zits here and there. Product supposedly expires after 60 days, but I keep it in the fridge like they do in the pharmacy... keeps on working long past 60 days!

Only thing that ever worked, all year long, long term. My insurance pays for it. I'm happy!

Clindoxyl

Pros:

Clears acne
Clears scars (not completely)

Cons:

Dry skin

So I always had clear skin until this summer I broke out like crazy.. Got scars all over my cheeks. I started using this gel first week it worked wonders, but became less effective overtime. But after 2 months it cleared up everything, even made my scars barely noticeable and gets rid of blackheads, pimples under the skin. This gel is amazing. I still got pimples here and there but it would clear them out within 2-3 days which is awesome. I'm so so so happy with this product.

Pros:

This stuff works !

Cons:

Is not an instant fix, you need to stick with it but the results are fantastic

My daughter started highschool in September with moderately severe acne. Her forehead and chin were an angry red mess. She was very unhappy and selfconscious. We saw a dematologist in Oct and he perscribed CLINDOXYL. He told he to wash with water only...no cleansers. She would put it on before bed and wash it off in the morning. It took about 3 months to see the real results but the difference is truly amazing. She has not had a pimple since and the scars she had are almost gone.

Pros:

works, even on hormonal acne

Cons:

flaky!
heard it stops working after a while?

this can make your skin flake but it works pretty well if you use consistently. lately, i've been diluting it by splashing some warm water on my face before applying it. It opens up the pores and it forces me to use less --this has made the flaking reduce a bit. I use cetaphil moisturizer w/ a high spf and I still haven't been able to put down my clinique foundation. I also try to use Mario Badescu's "healing and soothing" mask at least once a week to combat the dryness and flakiness this can cause if you overuse. If you're just starting this, make sure you stick with it and don't miss more than one day--I forgot my tube at my folks' house recently and my face exploded during the week I didn't use it, went right back to square one! PS I let it dry completely before I get into bed and I haven't bleached any clothing or bedding in 2-3 months of use so far.

Pros:

- Clears acne
- works fast (cleared the acne on my face/forehead within a week)

Cons:

- EXPENSIVE
- small tube (doesn't last very long if you have body acne as well)
- didn't really notice any effects on scars
- didn't really help with body acne

It's a good product although expensive. I didn't notice any drying of skin, but that's probably because i have oily skin.My acne scars look about the same but hopefully those will start to lighten up a bit the more i use this. Try this out, it may be your solution.
