For Acne "okay so I was prescribed this about 5-6 days ago, and it has made my acne so much worse than it was before. My face has broken out everywhere other than underneath my eyes. Before using this, my face was 95% clear, I maybe had 3 pimples on a bad day. Now I have prob around 70 pimples on my face and my chin is so dry it’s flaking off. I want to continue this lotion but if it doesn’t get better in 7 days then I’m stopping it."

For Acne "I started getting acne after 13 . I tried all sorts of home remedies till i turned 14 . Then one of my friends just casually told me about this gel . I stared using it immediately cuz the skin was going too worse!! Its not a miracle cure for sure ! I mean it won't c;ear your skin overnight but yes patience is required . After 2 weeks or so i saw some results and guess what ? all my acne and their marks were gone with the continuous use 2 or 3 months . i enjoyed my marks and pimple free skin for a couple of months but it was for just 5-6 months or so ! i started getting them again . I increased the usage of this gel and it got worse. It totally stopped working on my skin . And made it badly worse . So use it and once they are gone plz stop!"

For Acne "It has been an amazing product, I am using this for two years daily and it removed all my pimples and marks, I like this product, no major reaction problems, some times skin may redden, but I rate it 10 out of 10"

Clindesse (clindamycin) for Bacterial Vaginosis "I had a very pungent odor and was diagnosed with BV. I was a little skeptical about clindesse because oral clindamycin and me do not agree. However, I inserted the clindesse before bed and the next day the odor was not existent. I haven't had any side effects so I'm a fan or this product. If you don't have insurance, it can be a bit pricey. So just go online and print or download the coupon card."

For Acne "Do not take this!! Worst experience of my life. Made my acne 100X worse. Also made my face really red and greasy. Not effective AT ALL. I have no idea why my doctor would prescribe me this. Ruined my life, can't stand being seen like this. Try benzoyl peroxide. Much more effective. Dries out your skin, but an easy fix with lotion."

For Acne "Highly recommend for mild acne. I was put on this to treat my mild hormonal break outs. With in a couple days I had results! No redness,drying or any effects. I wish I would have known about this years ago! Going to start my son on this also. I have the topical dabber. Works great!"

For Acne "I’ve been using a topical Clindamycin for over 2 years now to help clear my acne, it’s definitely a miracle drug for me! I never have any problems with my skin while using this product. Highly recommend! But it’s not a cure more like a long term temporary fix, my acne always comes back when I run out sadly. But while I have it, MY SKIN IS FLAWLESS! Good luck!"

For Acne "I was pretty blown away with the results the clindamycin topical gel provided with a cyst. I have been experiencing hormonal acne ever since I entered into my 30s. My dermatologist suggested clindamycin to help reduce swelling and the severity of the acne, since I didn't want to take a hormonal medication. Let me just say, WOW! I started developing a cyst (one of those painful ones deep in the skin) a week ago. I was so upset, as they usually take 3-4 weeks to shrink down. It's been 1 week of clindamycin application to my entire face, including the cyst, and it's pretty much gone. I had also had very slight hyper-pigmentation, which is also an improvement. I did not pick or pry at the cyst to get these results. If you have cystic acne, this may be a good solution for you. I can't say yet whether it has been preventing cysts, but I do know that it speeds up the healing process!"

Clindesse (clindamycin) for Bacterial Vaginosis "I have had issues with Bacterial vaginitis (BV) in the past and once I learned what caused them haven’t had any problems. I was a little careless recently and was so happy when my doc offered this one time dose instead of the usual week long flagyl treatment. It worked immediately but after two days I started having vaginal itching like crazy 3rd day a white thick discharge started - vaginal yeast infection. I am waiting until the 7 days are up to treat the yeast infection the med gave me and I regret not choosing the flagyl. The cause of my BV is semen. It’s sucks to avoid getting that in me but so does smelling like a fish. Once I figured it the cause of BV I’ve been BV free for almost a decade."

For Acne "HORRIBLE! I was prescribed this for acne, after a few days my entire chest, back, and neck was red and covered in bumps and whiteheads. My skin is already oily but this made it 100x worst and my face got extremely bad, after a week I got prescribed an oral antibiotic and it finally started helping clear up my body after a few days but it took WEEKS for my skin to recover. Even now I am still trying to get rid of the scarring it caused."

For Acne "I don't usually write feedback but this one, I have to say, it really work! I had tried many topical lotions before but nothing worked better than it. It took only around a week to get a noticable result. Yep there are still a few pimples but I believe they will diminish soon too."

For Acne "It is kind of insane how well and how quickly Clindamycin worked on my acne. I typically have very clear skin, but while on another medication, had an acne breakout as a side effect. It was pretty bad. In a couple days of using this, it cleared. I don't need it or use it daily. However, I have gotten prescriptions filled anytime I feel like my skin is being oversensitive or a small l pimple shows up and I am showing signs of a break out and this medication works every time."

For Acne "Guys! This is a wonder gel! Please try it if you have acne problem. I had acne at the start of the year and everyone started to ask about my acne. I felt ashamed. My cousin recomended this. My skin started clearing after a few weeks. Less than one month!"

For Acne "I’ve been using for 4 days now, trying to fight off Folliculitis. Maybe it’s too soon but it has done nothing. I’m also on oral antibiotics plus this gel and nothing is working. So frustrating ."

Clindagel (clindamycin) for Acne "I have been using Clindagel for adult acne since a month now and no other acne medications have worked on me as good as this one I. I am having an extremely sensitive skin and I am allergic to most of the acne medications that I used so far including benzyl peroxide. I started using this again with lots of apprehension expecting some allergic reactions but to my surprise it didn't have any,( except first two days of antibiotics induced diarrhoea) .....I must admit it took a month to start showing the action for the first 3 weeks I used to get new and aggressive form of pimples but I kept using it and finally it is starting to show results now in month of usage ...I definitely recommend it to anyone who is experiencing adult acne or otherwise."

For Acne "I used to have lots of pimples all over my forehead and temples when I was 10 and kinda went on till I was about 12 or 13 that my skin cleared up. Later on a few months after I turned 20 I started to get bumps on my forehead again, not really pimples just bumps (occasionally 1 or 2 pimples) after a few months with this problem I went to my doctor and she prescribed me clindamycin. ITS AMAZING! Just the first night many of my bumps were gone! I'm on my 4th day now and my skin is clearing up pretty good, the only down side is the dryness it leaves you with. With a good moisturizer that problem it's fixed."

At first I was being treated for a yeast infection finally I was given flagyl first second and third round didn't work then they went to the metronidazole gel all 7 rounds no success I have been trying to conceive so do this was a hard pill to swallow.

Next day I felt so much better I was dancing around the house it's day for with not a symptom of any kind of love this product hopefully the BV remains gone"

Clindesse (clindamycin) for Bacterial Vaginosis "I was prescribed this cream after already taking oral medications that failed to work because I have had a gastric bypass and the pills were not absorbed by my body enough to get rid of my b.v. I put it in at night and felt 70% better in the morning when I woke up."

For Acne "I have had moderate adult acne for many years, and over the counter never touched it. Besides the regimen was always annoying and time consuming. I started this about 2 weeks ago after asking my PCP for something to help my acne, as I am getting married in May. I have seen a huge improvement in 2 weeks. My skin tone has also improved. I am very thankful for this medication and I use it twice a day. It keeps pimples from becoming large and irritating."

For Acne "Having suffered from adult acne my whole life I have finally found something that works, in fact it has changed my life. I used to suffer from pimples and blackheads, that was made worse by hormones but persisted my whole cycle, and took a long time to heal if I picked them. I use clindatech before bed, with a layer of 5% benzac on top and then coconut oil! My skin hasn't been this good since I was on the pill. Now I'm not taking any harmful medication and my confidence has been restored. Try it!! I hardly get any pimples now, and if I do they are totally gone in a couple of days."

For Acne "I have been using clindamycin gel with cerave facewash for a few days now. I have the inflammatory, hormonal acne all over my face. The only area that it is not on my face is around my eyes where sunglasses would cover. It's on my cheeks in full, chin, around my mouth, my forehead and beside my eyes. It is also on my back. I am a 31 YO female. This gel has already helped reduce the redness and acne after just a few days. My face has calmed down. I have the type of acne that clears up with oral antibiotics too but I can't be on that for a variety of reasons; pregnancy and breastfeeding etc. I am not sure how this will pan out over several months, I hope to come back and update. This did dry my lips but that recovered after a few days. Get some chapstick. There was a slight burn when beginning this rx. I do use facial moisturizers regularly. I also was able to put makeup on top of this in the morning to wear to work and it worked out fine."

Clindagel (clindamycin) for Acne "Within two weeks of starting to use Clindagel, I had great improvement. I have never had any side effects; I may as well be putting water on my face in that regard, except for how great my skin looks. I have combination skin that's leaning toward needing some anti-aging help, and so I use the gel at night after washing my face, and mix a little of it with my day moisturizer. The other reviewer makes a good point about benzoyl-peroxide. When you need a little more help than the clindamycin, mixing in a little of that really does the trick."

For Acne "I have been using clindamycin every morning after cleansing my face almost religiously for almost 4 months and I have seen no improvement of my acne. I use Differin gel at night and still no help. All the other reviews say they saw results in days, but I still get many break outs. Also, I'm almost 18 and I just started about 6 months ago breaking out this bad. I had occasional pimples growing up but nothing bad then all of a sudden my face has gotten really bad. "
