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:
- around 6 months later, nothing extraordinary happens anymore
i believe that clindoxyl is really good for, like, three months or so. for me, all my acne was gone, and now i just get regular teenager acne, but the scars are still there. after you have gotten rid of the problem belmishes, i suggest going back to your doctor, and asking what should you do about the scarring. but, continue using clindoxyl for the minor pimples you get now.

Pros:
My acne seemed to be clearing up initially, probably within the first couple weeks, my skin was very dry but I didn't mind because the pimples were clearing up.
Cons:
During the second week I started to get large bumbs under the skin that hurt and turned red but never came to the surface. Im waiting to see if they will subside or not.
I would recommend this product because I have heard from friends it works, but i have yet to see the results.

Pros:
Clears skin
Cons:
Like smoothing white glue onto your face
Didn't work as well when it was hot out...

Pros:
it cleared my pimples and prevented them from coming back
Cons:
bleached my pillowcase a bit..other than that no complaints
i've used this product for a couple of months then i ran out. during that time my skin improved and i wasn't as oily. i only get a few pimples every once in a while and they are on my chin and a bit on my forehead. clindoxyl has improved my skin and i like that i can wear it under makeup.

Pros:
doesn't smell bad!
doesn't burn or sting!
simple!
Cons:
none!
bottom line, i've been using it for only a few days and my skin is already looking better! i usually have breakouts all the time and i usually wear pounds of face make-up to try and hide it! but after using this for only a short while, i have a feeling i won't need to anymore! my pimples are going away and they are less red, my skin is also less oily! try it! i'm also on pills from my doctor!

Pros:
It does really improve your skin, it makes it go away almost totally.
Cons:
After some time, the effect stops and you're in the square one again... Sigh.
It does help for some time, but then the effect stops completely. My acne is kicking back in. So if you are looking for a temporary help then this is your choice. But dont expect your skin to stay clear for ever.

Pros:
I've noticed that the acne has started to fade quite quickly.
Cons:
My face has gone as red as a tomato and my eyes are swollen.
This product does help, but if you have an important event to go to sometime right after you started using it and you have sensitive skin, you may want to re-schedule your important event.

Pros:
works very well... been using it for about a week and i see VERY notable differences. skin is finally clearing up for the first time in a long time. works better than anything else tried.
Cons:
nothing really. dries out skin but that is nothing a good moisterizer can't fix.
this is probably the best topical cream i have ever used to fight acne. after several years of unclear skin this is clearing it up for the first time. i started using it with the regimen and it worked great, and since then i am using a tea tree soap for my face. this combination is working wonders.
April 12, 2007
Pros:
started in january '06. within 2 weeks, about 80% of my acne went away. in the summer i had no acne at all.
Cons:
in january '07 i must have became immune to the gel, because i broke out again, now i'm back where i started. dried skin slightly
it will work perfectly, but don't expect acne to be cured forever. it was worth the money to have clear skin for a year though.
April 7, 2007
Pros:
I noticed good results in the first week.
Dries right away.
Cons:
The first couple of days it was alright but then it got worse everyday(my face was extremely dry and red and i got rashes).
I noticed results in the first week. Everyone's different, you got to have patience for it.
Pros:
- works really well the first time you use it
- can see a HUGE difference after three weeks
