Acanya : Clindamycin Phosphate (1.2%) and Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Gel

amazing product i used the cream every morning and it is amazing , it prevents acne very well and makes my skin less oily

After a few years of clear skin from minocycline, my know-it-all derm. decides it's best for me to stop the ONLY thing that's has worked on my acne and put me on topicals. I had been using tazorac the whole time I was on minocycline, but it was the mino. that kept me clear. Topicals have not done anything for me. If anything, they just make my face worse. My face doesn't react to benzoyl peroxide in a positive way. It seems to worsen my acne as proactive turned my light acne into inflammatory acne that I've had ever since. Acanya started to clear me up after four weeks. I was clear for about two or three weeks, but then the acne returned. I used it for like 18-20 weeks before I said f**k it. I went back to him and got another script for mino. which took forever to clear me up again, but once I ran out and told him how much I hate topicals (because they're a huge inconvenience that don't f**king work!) the douche bag prescribes me f**king aczone. I can't stand this cocksucker. He doesn't listen to my story and always tries to get me out of there as fast as he can. But yet he worries about minocycline and my body. My review: don't waste your time on this bullsh*t if you have papular acne or worse.

I started getting acne (very mild) at a pretty young age (10?) so we went to my derm and he suggested me to use acanya. I used it every night and for probably three years my skin was FLAWLESS. Not a single pimple and I believe it was because of this. I was very happy. I'm 14 now and recently, the beginning of this year, I guess you could say that my skin no longer reacts to it. I have been getting many new pimples (especially clusters on my lower cheeks and chin). It's only been getting worse and worse, and I still would use acanya at night. I have completely stopped using acanya and have been using Proactiv+ for the past two weeks. My skin is getting a lot better. I may try Epiduo soon. Overall, my acne was controlled with this but it didn't last. My face became immune. But, I do recommend that you try this.

Story- Im a 16yo girl and used to have severe acne on my forehead for a couple years and have constantly been switching prescribed medications because they either didnt work, or my skin adapted to them. I have been using acanya in the morning, tazorac at night, and cera ve face products for about 6 months. Im using two products so that my skin cannot adapt to it so quickly. My skin has been slowly clearing up all through the months ,sometimes getting really bad (never worse than my original problem) , and sometimes really good. Now I will get only a pimple or two a week. Cons of Acanya only- Had some major skin peeling, redness, and tightness occasionally and is pricey.

It worked when I first got it but after a while I feel like it is just drying my skin and not helping anymore.

I rarely break out I actually have very clear skin but when I do it's on my chest or one major blemish and I've been using this for over a month and noticed it stops the blemishes I get from forming more but I feel they stay and last longer. Again I only get a few blemishes but when I do they are large and painful and this only seemed to stop the process not actually help it go away. I have had the same blemishes on my chest for over a week now and they still aren't going away? Any suggestions would be great.

I've been using the acanya consistently for a couple months and have not noticed a difference at all. My derm said to use it as a spot treatment and not only does it not help, I feel it makes my acne more red and sensitive. Whenever I use this I get a red spot that peels and is very painful that lasts atleast a week. It's just a waste of my time

Cured most of my acne that I got after using Retin-A Micro. I also use it with Aczone in the morning and Acanya at night.
