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:
Skin is a bit dry and sensitive in the morning after washing it off.
I have tried hundreds of prescribed and retail products over the years and nothing has worked this well, this fast. I don't have one single blackhead on my nose, I've never seen my skin this clear before. I have my face back!!

Pros:
Absorbs quickly, no odor
Cons:
on a student budget found it a little expensive
I would give this a 5/5 but i've only been using it a month so I don't know if I LOVE it yet...like it better than anything else i've tried so far. I had perfect skin as a teenages and only started to break out bad in my 20's. And like a few people have said - it made my skin noticably better the first few days, but then it got worse...much much worse for the next three weeks. But I stuck with it and now after a month i'm really starting to see results. Any advice on a face moisterizer to use with it? I stopped using mine because I was afraid of making my skin to break out more, but I really want to keep from drying out like a prune.

Cons:
Gave me:
-redness
-hives
-rash
-itchiness
-burning
-puffiness
The first time I used it it burned, and the next day the side of my face was itchy. About a week later the rash and redness and itchiness is still here. I have not seen any positive changes in my skin, because it has only been a week and a half. Around my lips and the side of my face are puffy, have hives and are EXTREMELY itchy. I have cystic pimples on my chin, which haven't gone away.

Pros:
- helped control my acnee
Cons:
- At first made my skin REALLY flacky and red, and it burn a lot!
- expensive if you don't have insurance
My doctor prescribed this to me to use together with Differin, since Differin alone was not doing a good enough job. At first Clyndoxyl really burned my face, I had to take it off after putting it on. In the first months my face was really flaky, I had to apply a lot of moisturer more than 3-4 times a day to reduce de flakyness. After a few months my face got used to it and it stopped burning and flaking. It make my acnee better than when using Differin alone, but I still had blackheads on my nose and new breakeouts here and there, sometimes bad ones. Then after 3 years it just stopped working for me, I started breaking out a lot again, so I had to change medication (again...)
