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:
My skin can look quite red some days but it's nothing that a little powder can't fix.
My skin still isn't perfect but it is a lot easier to manage and to make it look good. I have to use less makeup now and my skin feels cleaner all day. Get it!

May 5, 2008
Pros:
worked quickly - face cleared up in about 3 days. Haven't had a breakout since using the gel. Goes on clear
Cons:
dries out your skin, but using a good moisturizer will prevent that
Worked well for me. Had tried ProActiv, didn't work.

Pros:
It cleared my skin after a week!
Cons:
skin might be dry
It works, but for people that have really bad acne it might take a while. Do NOT apply it in the day because ur skin might become more darker or hyperpigmented.

Pros:
didnt cost anything insuranceeeeeee!:D
Cons:
i dunno didnt see much of a difference yet
I just got this product from the doctor yesterday and I hope it works. She told me not to use it on my whol entire face the first night. She said to put the cream on just my chin and work my way each night towards covering my whole face. So I don't think you're supposed to use the cream on your whole face at once cause it could aggrevate ur skin and make it red. Peace!

A LOT of white heads and skin very itchy.
i have only used this for 2 days and it has made my skin very itchy. i only use it only a day at night before bed. this moring(second day on this) i woke up and 6 white head developed on my chin. my doctor prescribed this to me. i really don't want to use it anymore but i have to follow what my doctor says. the price tag for this was around $40 but i only had to pay $4 cause insurance covers the rest.

December 16, 2007
Pros:
helped clear redness
Cons:
makes my skin really itchy.
I've only been using it for a couple of weeks so i'm not sure if it is going to dramaticly reduce acne, but it has made my skin so itchy. I feel like I'm going to cause more problems by scratching.
doesn't seem to work any better than other topicals i've tried and didn't need perscibed.
It was afforable, it cost me nothing, because it was covered by insurance.
December 11, 2007
Pros:
- Cleared up infection
- Dramatically reduced the appearance of cystic acne on cheek
Cons:
- Cheek feels a bit stiff after using it
- Cheek is itchy, not sure if it is from the medication
I had been using Proactiv prior to this and it only worsened the acne by drying out my skin. I received samples from my family physician, so I didn't have to pay anything. She did tell me this was the "#1 selling acne cream", lol. This product is the best topical cream I have used. I noticed an immediate difference the next morning. I have tried Melaleuca's 'Zap It' cream which only worsened my acne. The pros of clindoxyl outweigh the cons by far.
Pros:
It cleared up the fresh breakout pretty quickly and over a few weeks got rid of some older marks. My skin gets less oily during the day now too!
