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:
Slightly less effective over time. And it will bleach towels! I haven't managed to avoid this, even after 5 months. I'll wash it off my face in the morning, dry my hands on a towel, and wreck the towel. Oops.
This did not do the trick all alone, but it's great if you use it with an antibiotic. The antibiotic can clear up your acne over time, and this can be used to keep the pimples on the surface at bay. After treating my acne for 5 months I barely get pimples, and when I do this will clear them up overnight.

Pros:
works if you keep using it
Cons:
dry skin where applied, for me i have to use it only before i go to bed.. so i cant use it in public ect..
good enough, proactive does work wonders but this was perscribed to me, free health care i think or insurance gets me it very cheap

Pros:
- Gets rid of pimples and whiteheads
- Dries clearish
- Affordable! If you have health insurance
Cons:

I love this product!!!
I went to the doctors and just asked if i should see a dermatalogist since my skin isn't great and she just prescribed this gel to me and said to use on pimples!
It made all of them go away, and now I get an ocassional white head but its barely noticable! I even had people compliment me on my skin!!!!! I NEVER got that before. Love love love it!

Pros:
Really works well
cheap for me
Cons:
a bit annoying because it feels weird on my face(it goes a bit hard and well a bit gooey..)but you get used to it.not bad
I went to my family docter after i used countless acne medications like proactive, clearasil,neutrigena,oxy,clean and clear,etc... all those didnt work for me. so since nothing really worked for me for about 3 years.i went to my family docter, and he prescribed me antibiotics (Doxycycline), and this product(clindoxyl).I really did see a bit of results.im positive that this product will work.
ps since i live in Canada, and i had some kind of insurance thing that will pay for some of the things.my original price altogether was 55 dollars . and i paid only about 8 bucks!i was really happy about that.lol

Pros:
Works quickly (saw results within 3-5 days after first application), gets rid of infection in most pimples within 2-3 days, evens out complexion nicely! Love the clear application also.
Cons:
Dries out the skin a little too much at times. Other than that, I have no complaints.
Get this product! It works super well!!

Pros:
cleared up blotches and spots. Fairly consistent and visible results.
Cons:
takes a while before you see results. Makes the skin a bit dry. Small amount of gel for the $37.
Not a bad product, but you have to keep using it.

Really works
Took me 1 month to have a flawless skin . unfortunately I had to stop using it due to my intestinal problem( ulcerative colitis) :( . If you dont have any bowel disease go for it , working even if you have big painful cystic acne

Worked great at first, lost effect after 1 year
This gel cleared up my acne very quickly. The acne did not completely disappear though. It didn't help with redness or scarring. After 1 year, it became completely ineffective on my skin and my acne resumed. This would be a good treatment for someone who needs a short term fix for mild/moderate acne.

Best Treatment Tried!
My son has had persistent mild to moderate acne for a few years now. He has tried numerous things and nothing has ever really worked. He recently saw a new derm, who recommended Onexton. And so far, it's amazing! His skin looked better within days and now at one month, he has no active acne. Previously, he had tried Retin A, Tazorac, the regimen, Finacea, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and they either didn't work at all, or only gave minimal improvement. Onexton really works!
Pros:
Clears up breakouts quickly. This takes care of pimples overnight
