Acne.org’s Real World Take
A more dangerous way of using benzoyl peroxide that studies show works a bit better than benzoyl peroxide alone. However, when used properly, benzoyl peroxide on its own can completely clear the skin without the addition of antibiotics.

Cons:
None really besides making my face dry. But well worth it.
Ask your doctor about this product, you have nothing to lose.
March 29, 2008
Pros:
It works. I used to be unreconisable with my acne. My face was a burning red all over , but now, it's a milder red and my acne...isn't all gone. Some of it's still there, especially on my forehead.
Cons:
Drys out your skin.
I still have a ton of scars and acne on my forehead, chin and the sides of my nose but compared to what I looked like before, it is awesome. I love it. I wouldd not be able to live without it.

Pros:
absolutely works when nothing else did. tried it on my 11 year old daughter and within a week her skin is 90% better!!!
Cons:
pricey, but it works so its worth it.
Pro-active cost more and did not work
definately the best acne treatment i've ever come across. my daughter has been using it with pan oxyl bar soap

Pros:
I am extremely happy with the results. I am a mature person, and strangely, I got acne around the age of 35.I tried some products for a few years, but my acne didn't get better.With Clindoxyl I saw the results in a few days.I am completely cured now.
Cons:
The skin gets a little dry but nothing too extreme.
This product has made wonders for me. It's amazing.
December 11, 2006
Pros:
After even the first day it clered up my skin so much!!!! It didn't hurt and was pretty easy to use.
Cons:
It did make my skin pretty dry, but thats also because I swim like everyday.
So far I really like it and it seems to be clearing up my skin really fast!! Its only been like 3 days and i hope this good experience will continue. As well i find that the best cleanser is Cetaphil oily skin cleanser and the best mositurizer is Cetaphil daily moisturizing lotion. This stuff works and im glad i tried it. Its way better than any over the counter products!! Now im not embarassed to show my face. i'm proud and can let it shine!! :) :)
December 10, 2006
Pros:
Fairly fast and effective results. Side-effects are small and manageable, definitely worth it.
Cons:
Skin feels tight first couple of weeks of usage, also gets dry and flaky occasionally. Itchiness and redness occurs if you stop using it for a couple days.
I saw noticeable results after a few weeks, best acne treatment I've tried. I haven't used it in a month though, and the pimples are coming back.

Cons:
very dry flaky skin

Starting today, will update
About a year and a half ago I started on minocycline and aczone. This cleared my face like no other! But I've decided recently to start family planning, so I thought it best to discontinue the minocycline. I've broken out into a million black heads across my forhead and chin. along with about 10 or so white heads. I've yet to get any cyctic since i started the aczone, so i'm hoping this will clear up the remaining and keep the white heads from getting so inflamed. I was on Duac years ago but the BP content was higher and dried my skin out.
WEEK ONE: Across my face all the pimples are healing and no longer inflamed. Nothing really new popping up, besided two really small white heads. once i popped them, couldn't even see them. skin is tight but no dry patches

Effective, but drying
About four weeks ago, I was put on 100mg doxy 2x day, acanya in the daytime, and adapalene 0.3% gel at night time for my severe acne (cystic on jawline and deep acne along cheeks). I have noticed a great improvement of my acne, most of it is on the surface now, with most of my cystic acne gone or now surface acne. The only qualm I have about this product is that it is very drying, which I can attribute to both this and the other two prescriptions. I have started using a tiny amount of organic, unrefined, cold-pressed coconut oil on top of this once it has dried so that I can return the lost moisture to my face and I find it is working well. This product is one you need to be patient with -- as is the case with all acne treatments. For having tried both clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide prior to no avail, I am impressed by how effective the two in tandem are!

I have the same type of acne (cystic on jawline and deep acne along cheeks) and not much has worked to clear it up. I'm starting acanya today. Taking that in the morning and Retin-A at night. I hope it works. I'm concerned about the drying out issue. Seems to be common with this medication. I use coconut oil on my body but never on my face in fear of the oil making my acne worse. Since it worked for you I'll give it a try. Thanks for your review. It was very helpful.
Pros:
Been using it for 10 days and i've noticed amazing results! I have no pimples on my face, usually i have 2 to 3 at a time. Hopefully it continues to work.
