Pros:

seemed to help with acne at first

Cons:

-after a while, acne started to come back worse
-horrible acne scarring
-face was VERY red, with a definite line separating the redness of my cheek from the normal colour of my neck
-flaky, itchy skin

I have two friends with severe acne who have used Clindoxyl. It seemed to work extremely well for one of them and moderately well for the other. I was told by a doctor to try this in conjunction with Retin-A; using one in the morning and one at night. My face always seemed redder, tighter, and flakier after using clindoxyl. I don't normally have sensitive skin, so I was very surprised the effects didn't wear off after a couple of days.

Worked great at first, lost effect after 1 year
This gel cleared up my acne very quickly. The acne did not completely disappear though. It didn't help with redness or scarring. After 1 year, it became completely ineffective on my skin and my acne resumed. This would be a good treatment for someone who needs a short term fix for mild/moderate acne.

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.

Pros:

- Temporary bleaches skin
- Slightly helped getting rid of acne

Cons:

- Expensive
- Caused patches of redness
- Itchiness & burning sensation
- Dryness

This product, at first, made my skin feel itchy/dry and even gave me a burning sensation in the area of application. With time, it also created red patches on my skin. In the end, it only made my skin look & feel worst.

Pros:

It clear up the acne very, very fast. it wasn't oily or sticky. I have use many acne products but there is none that worked this well

Cons:

Temporary cure the acne. It came back on parts of my face that i never had before but wasn't as bad as before.
However I only use it before i go to bed, since i work in the heat during the day.

There may be cheaper products out there but it does not work as well i this has worked for me. However I must say that it works different on different people, since we all have different types of skin and acne problems.

Pros:

No smell, easy to apply, doesn't sting

Cons:

Minimal improvement, at times made acne even worse.

I was greatly unsatisfied with this product in general. It was prescribed to me by my doctor and it was a complete waste of money. Then he recently prescribed it to me again and I had to waste my money yet again. It doesn't work with my skin and it's results aren't up to par considering it's price.

Pros:

Well, it cleared up the acne I had on my face..

Cons:

After I have been using it for about 2weeks, i had a terrible rash, that was itchy and very red, almost looked like i was scorched. I havent cleared up my acne on my arms.

Good for minor areas, like face etc. but i havent seen an effect on my arms yet.

Pros:

It did clear my skin up.

Cons:

I broke out in a very itchy rash and my skin was very dry and red.

If you do not have sensitive skin this would be a good product to try, but if your skin is sensitive like mine DONT'T DO IT!
