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:

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.

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

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

Made pimples last way longer than normal
Left dark red marks where pimples were

Normally I have pimples that last about a week and by then they are ready to be extracted and heal completely fine by the next week. However after this gel my pimples lasted wayyyyyy longer (4 weeks) instead of my normal 1 week. And not only that, it left DARK RED marks when the pimples were gone. This has never happened to my skin before. I will most definitely not be using this again! Thankfully I got this for free because of my medical plan.

It didn't really do anything at all

Pros:

it was covered by insurance
easy to apply
no pills

Cons:

it burnt my face
it didn't clear my acne
it left red patches on my face

I've always had stubborn skin, and my acne was not severe. For the product review, It didn't make my acne worse, and it didn't make it better it just stayed the same. I did notice when applying it that my skin got very red and felt as if it was burning. I can't recommend it simply because it didn't work for my skin type

Pros:

It seemed to work for about two weeks for me. My originally moderate acne became less noticeable, and no new ones developed.

Cons:

After two weeks, I woke up to find my face covered with dense, red bumps, like I'm having an allergic reaction.

For a product the effects of which alters so dramatically, I can't think of a bottom line.

Pros:

None

Cons:

It made my skin red and instead of reducing the acne it actually increased it and made it worse, I regret using it and I should have stuck to my old doctor's prescription..

It's expensive and a waste of money.. well actually I guess it depends on your skin.. for my friends at school it seemed to have worked for them however I think I'm going to stick to my old medication
