Pros:

Does not smell, absorps quickly into skin. Seems to work very well for me.

Cons:

Takes a bit to start seeing results. For me, it got worst, now it's getting better.....
Stings a bit when applied, but that doesn't last long.

It seems to be working out well. I have suffered with acne since age 17, i will 30 very soon...have tried everything on the market including acctune, which helped for a bit, but the acne returned. I will stick with using this foam....my face is so smooth aside for about 5 small bumps, which seems to be halfway gone. My skin is not that oily anymore. I am super happy with the results that I have seen so far....I hope this one's a keeper!!! :)

Pros:

Prior to using Evoclin foam, I had used more than half a dozen topicals with only marginal results. I was very skeptical when the derm prescribed me this medicine but I was wrong. This topical worked almost overnight for me abd has kept me clear.

Cons:

It stings a little if applied immediately after shaving, and it definitely costs a lot, $250 without insurance. I paid $65 after printing out the online rebate and the insurance got the rest.

Thia topical, though expensive, has worked extremely well for me. My skin broke out once a month on the areas I shave, and this product has completely cleared that area.

Pros:

Easy to apply, dries quickly, one can last a long time.

Cons:

Stings a bit if used in the morning after shaving.

I use evoclin in the mornings, along with Differin gel at night. This combination has been, bar none, the best I have ever used. I used to experience cystic acne, mainly along the jaw line and temples. I have been almost 100% acne free since I have started using evoclin. I agree with others - what works for one person may not work for another. But I swear by evoclin.

Pros:

A topical antibiotic, Evoclin worked very well for me for the first year and a half of my treatment. My acne completely cleared up on my face and back as it killed the P. acnes bacteria.

Cons:

However, I believe that my acne has become resistant to it. (antibiotic resistance anyone?) Studies have shown that the acne bacteria become resistant FASTER to a topical antibiotic rather than an oral one. Three months ago, it started getting worse.

PLEASE READ THIS: Evoclin is NOT the solution for a long-term acne treatment regimen. If you have occasional breakouts, I would recommend this product. If used sparingly, resistance to this drug will be staved off for quite some time. Do not use this product daily. Within a couple of months to two years, I guarantee you that this product will become ineffective as your acne bacteria will develop resistance. Don't believe me? Let me tell you how an antibiotic works. The clyndamycin in Evoclin works to block protein synthesis of the bacterium's cells and is bacteriostatic, which means it hampers their ability to grow and reproduce. Sounds good, right? Wrong. While it works to kill the bacteria that causes your acne, it cannot kill the bacteria that is already resistant to the antibiotic. When the susceptable bacteria are killed, the resistant bacteria multiply and become the predominant bacteria. It's Darwin's survival of the fittest- this resistance is irreversible; use sparingly!
