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:

I actually haven't bought the prescription yet as my insurance does not cover it.

Cons:

Does anyone know of any other perscription assistance with this product doctor says I need it but it is sooo expensive.

My acne is getting really bad and I am tired of it. But this evoclin costs up to 300 dollars. Help!

Pros:

Light, not greasy. Easy to apply and didnt dry my skin out.

Cons:

Even though its "fragrance free" it still smells to me.

Been using for for little over a month and its pretty good so far. It really made my skin smooth and helped A LOT with the blackheads. If your insurance doesnt cover it, its a lot of money. I like that it doesnt make my skin shiny after im done washing. However it hasnt worked in my body acne. So far its pretty good.

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!
