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:
It did bleach almost every towel and pillow I own which kinda sucks!
I don't think it would be a harm in trying it. If you tried other things like Oxy then there would be no problem with Clindoxyl!!

Pros:
Cleared up my minor to moderate acne fairly quickly. I've been using it for 3 months and I love it!
Cons:
I was crying one night in bed and when I woke up, I realized that it bleached my new pillow case! I also experienced some dryness in the beginning.
I recommend using Complex 15 ceram for oily skin. It's very thin and gentle and it works wonders. My acne seems to come back a bit at that time of the month but Clindoxyl keeps it under control. This is the best product i've used. I've tried Proactiv for a long time, I've tried aloe vera gel, and I've tried Steivamycin which was NOT for my skin type(how frusturating!) I love this!

Pros:
none
Cons:
didn't clear up my acne at all, it made it worse, i ended up with zits in parts of my face that never had them before
i do not recommend this product, and unfortunatly my doctor doesn't seem to agree with me and wont prescribe me anything else. i would recommend dove facial cleaning cloths. they work a thousand times better than the gel and are much more gentle on the skin

Pros:
easy to apply, works good, did the job.
Cons:
i used it on a spot where i really didn't need to put any by accident and it dried it out so bad for 3 days and then slowly the dryness disappeared.
i got about 4 sample tubes from my doctor to try out and a prescription if i wanted more and i loved it! but i accidently used it on zit free spot and it dried it out which was bad and i used the pond dry skin cream which made me breakout...but overall it works good. in 3-4 days my zit/blemishes are gone! :)

Pros:
No smell, gel like texture which spreads easy on face.
Works very well. Within a week had seen a difference.
Great for spot treatment as well. LOW COST CAUSE OF INSURANCE!
Cons:
Dries skin.
Get a good moisturizer.
Great product. have used for a little over a week.
May make skin a bit worse before it gets better because it brings the acne to the surface first.
STICK WITH IT! It's worth it.

Pros:
Works very, very well. Cheap -- one tube can last you a few months if you apply it well ;)
Cons:
Took three months of daily use, and one month of pure breakouts before it started to kick in. It's been 6 months since it started working and I've had one hormone-related pimple, and one papule
It works. It really does. Stick with it. First thing it's going to do is bring your imperfections (pimples, zits, papules, what have you) to the service of your skin and this process can take a few months. After that, it helps to prevent it. I had papules all over my neck and my lower face out of nowhere - it started right after my 23rd birthday. I tried proactive without any luck, and then this with cetaphyl bar cleanser. Pure awesome. I should also mention that it cleared up these little skin coloured bumps I had on my forehead.

Pros:

March 20, 2008
Pros:
smelled better than stronger treatments, nice texture, can use and then put makeup on, doesnt dry out skin
Cons:
doesnt really work for me, didnt help my skin at all...
didnt work, seems best for maybe rather minor cases, or well all skin is different so maybe it just wasnt for me. on stevimycin now and much happier with that. id still recommend trying it out for a while. i was on it a year so i know it didnt work for me, give it at least 4 months...
August 10, 2007
Pros:
Um well it kinnda helps and i dont have bad acne so i dont know why it cant clear it up but yea.
Cons:
nothing it does not dry my skin out and it does not do much
Um well i have been using this stuff for like two years for the first year it worked BUT for the last year it has not worked as well SO I AM MAD!
July 2, 2007
Pros:
i used Clindoxyl on it's own. i used Differin (another gel) on it's own. neither worked. my doctor put the two together and it's fabulous. i naturally have really bad skin but now it's clear.
Cons:
i'm not suggesting you use Clindoxyl, i'm suggesting you use Clindoxyl and Differin together. the combination dries out your skin REALLY BAD. find a good moisturiser, i'm still looking. also, very expensive. for me the two togerther was about 120$
-good for acne
-dries out skin
-very expensive for combination
-prescriptions for both of them
Pros:
It works really good! Makes the pimples go away really fast which is a great thing!!!
