Pros:
none...
Cons:
didnt clear my acne
not very good

Pros:
Made face smooth and hydrated. Prevented new breakouts which in turn helped me treat the current breakouts. Within 2 weeks my face was almost clear with the occasional red spot or two.
Cons:
Was told it would work on bacne as well but it did nothing for that, but if you just want it for your face it's good.
I would recommend this product if you have mild to moderate acne on your face. This alone won't work and I would suggest pairing it with a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide cleanser. It can take a while to work, but just stick with it because your skin really will feel softer and smoother if you do.

Pros:
It's wonderful, and wroks so quickly. I remember using it Friday, and waking up the net day with beautiful glowing skin, after my face was just a nightmare the day before.
Cons:
The only con I can think of is that it makes your face a bit greesy, but not too bad.
Use this...Request it, actually. My doctor hooked me up, and it is something I know I can rely on!

Pros:
I love it, it totally works and it helped reduce my acne by A LOT! I am using the Clindet pads and they honestly really do work
Cons:
None !
I honestly reccomend this for everyone, it helped me a lot and not only did it help my acne, it also helped me feel good about myself ;) It`s expensive if you aren`t covered but it is seriously worth the money!

Product used: Evoclin (Clindamycin (1%) Foam)
Pros:
It works fast, it feels good and its the only thing that has ever worked for me
Cons:
It super expensive! But worth the price
I had acne all throughout high school. This stuff works well and fast, but is pretty pricey! Worth the try if you have already tried many others
August 10, 2009
Pros:
eventually it works for you after 1-2 months
Cons:
u break out like crazy first month and towards the end of the can/bottle/tube ur acne comes back and you break out like crazy for me just in time for picture day....thanks

August 8, 2009
Pros:
This product did not irritate my skin at all. In combination with tretinoin it works pretty well.
Cons:
I am using the solution and it smells kinda funky.
I have used everything and the current treatment seems to be the only thing that has worked for me. I am using tretinoin .05% cream in the morning and clindamycin 1% solution in the evening. I have used both products separately before but didn't have such good results. I still have some acne but it isn't nearly as bad as it was and I have only been using the combination treatment for about a month.
