For Acne "I was on the topical form of clindamycin for about a year and a half. Within the first month or two of applying it, my cystic acne was gone. I had tried everything, but nothing really worked until my dermatologist prescribed me clindamycin. He also put me on two other medicines to help with it (tretinoin and a birth control); I didn't realize it was this treatment that did the work until I ran out of it. Now that I've stopped using it, my cysts are back. I'm not kidding when I say clindamycin is what fixed my skin."

For Acne "I am from India. I had a severe and uncontrolled acne problem arising due to oily skin and a bad liver. I was advised Clindac A (Clindamycin phosphate) along with Liv52. Not a single acne since I am applying this gel. As of now, I did not encounter any side effects."

For Acne "I love this medicine! I’ve only been using it for about a month and see major results! For even better results, use it with “Acne Medication 5 Benzoyl Peroxide Gel USP, 5%.” They work like a dream together! Though, it made my skin peel the first week I used it, so be careful! After about 2 weeks of use, the peeling stopped and my skin looked amazing! I noticed my acne scars beginning to blur, and I’ve never seen my skin look better. Highly recommend, but be cautious of the peeling! Don’t be panicked of it, I believe it’s a side effect. It’ll go away before you know, so don’t stress over it like me. Good luck!"

For Acne "I had very mild to moderate acne for a couple of years. Only prescription I like. I was prescribed clindamycin with benzoyl peroxide gel a year and a half ago, and this topical antibiotic gel has dramatically improved my skin. I have barely gotten pimples on my face because it has really cleared my skin. KEEP IN MIND-it works best with benzoyl peroxide than by itself, and also it depends on what brand you get. However, make sure that you are also eating well and taking some good vitamins, probiotics, and essential minerals such as zinc. I use ultra-gentle Neutrogena facial cleanser, then niacinamide plus zinc by Ordinary serum and La Roche double repair SPF 30 prebiotic moisturizer in the morning and clindamycin at night. I hope I helped you out."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "I felt as though it was my duty as a woman to review this medication for the rest of you ladies out there. I was diagnosed with general bacterial vaginosis and was TERRIFIED to use this, considering the awful reviews I read through. I was prescribed the 7-day cream, as well as a general amoxicillin. I am only on 2 days, but I have not experienced ANY side effects at all. I also heard negative things about leakage, but I have not experienced this, except for when I first woke up and went to the bathroom, which I expected. A quick shower did the trick, and I am now sitting at work on my 8th hour with no discomfort or problems!"

For Acne "I am a 15-yr-old female, and I have had moderate acne for about two years now. I went to a dermatologist who prescribed me Monodox once a day, Cleocin T gel twice a day, and Atralin gel at night. I am about two weeks in, and I already notice a huge difference, not just in my acne but the overall quality of my skin. At first, I had a major breakout (not sure which gel this is due to) and a little bit of drying and peeling, but my goal was to be clear by the school year, and I am on track! The drying has gone away, and I am so excited for this product! Highly recommended!"

For Acne "I never had bad acne until I started college. This product made me break out 10 times worse for the first 2 months. But that's what it's supposed to do. Now I'm on my 3rd month and all of my pimples and bumps are pretty much gone. I was left with some scars, but that's also normal and will fade while continuing to use the products. It may seem hopeless at first (trust me), but it really works and it's worth it! Good luck!"

For Acne "I've always had clear skin until recently, my skin isn't horrible, but I never had to worry about pimples on my face. I have always suffered from chest and back acne. I've been using this about a year now. Not one pimple now, this began working at week #1. Everyone's skin will react differently to products. Instead of saying it doesn't work, say it didn't work for you, because this product is a winner and a wonder healer."

For Acne "I am an 18-year-old teenager. Yes, I know acne loves to pop up during the teenage years, but I've had it for more than 5 years. It was really hard for me to be confident when my face is covered in pimples. The only clear spot I have is my temples. After my doctor suggested Clindacin, I was shocked. It burned right when I applied it, but that's only because my pores were open. I've been using this for about a week, and I've seen major results. My acne has shrunk, and some even disappeared! Believe me or not, but my confidence grows a step higher every time I see one pimple disappear. I still don't have a clear, spotless face yet, but that's because it's a month-long process. I'm only one week into the treatment. I hope this helped! :)"

Clindamycin topical for Bacterial Vaginosis "I would definitely recommend this product. I don't always believe reviews. When reading the reviews, I lost hope that it would work for me. I've had these symptoms for the last 5 years or more, and nothing ever works, it comes right back. I take pills, the smell comes right back. I took this insert on Sunday. Today is Tuesday, absolutely no smell. I know it's early, but I've been at work all day, no discharge, so I sweat, no fishy odor. I am so happy, I hope this is the end to my BV nightmare."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "I'm reading comments, and no one has said anything about the white cream turning brown by the end of the day. Had anyone experienced this? This is my 1st time taking this. Only did one insertion after reading the reviews, will not do another in fear of the worst yeast infection of my life. (Yikes) don't feel like dealing with a burning vagina, y'know?? I took my 1st cream dosage last night, and as of tonight, it's starting to come out, but it's turned brown. Who else has dealt with this?"

For Acne "I used to have acne when I was younger, then after having my son, my skin cleared up. I would get the occasional pimple associated with PMS. Then all of a sudden, my skin went bananas! I was breaking out all over my jawline, neck, and chin, and they were cystic and hurt very much. I felt uncomfortable and very insecure at 37 years old. I thought my days of hiding due to acne were over. I've been using it for a week now, and it has cleared up my skin so much. I have to mix it with benzoyl peroxide as well. The only downside is it dries the skin and burns a bit, but the results are amazing!!"

For Acne "I've been using the Taro clindamycin, which has benzoyl peroxide, for about a month. I have many cysts and patches of acne on my chin and jawline. Or should I say I did? It has cleared mostly all, I just get the odd tiny whitehead now, no cysts! I use it at night after cleansing and wait about two hours, then apply a moisturizer so my skin doesn't dry out. Warning: you need to ease in, then apply every day, otherwise, it will most certainly irritate your skin. My neck puffed up at first because it's not used to much of anything on it. All in all, my skin is happy, just make sure you are moisturizing twice a day!"

For Acne "I used clindamycin for 2 days for my acne, and it completely burned my face. My chin and cheek started to peel at first, and my skin is basically raw from the places I put it in. My face is bright red, and it’s impossible to put on makeup or any type of moisturizer to help without it burning so bad. I am so insecure now. I will definitely never be using this product again."

For Acne "I started using clindamycin at the end of April. It took 2 weeks for my acne to start clearing up and 4 weeks for my acne to stop altogether. My doctor recommended that I continue to use clindamycin for 8 weeks after my acne cleared. So I stopped using it this month (July). Highly recommend this medication. Very gentle yet very effective."

For Acne "I started to have a lot of small acne again after I was off Benzamycin for around half a year. I was then prescribed Doxycycline, Clindamycin, and Retinol at the end of February. Hearing that Doxycycline might cause side effects, I decided not to take it. While starting Retinol and Clindamycin, I was peeling, burning, and breaking out like crazy. I wore a mask for a whole week when I went to work because I couldn't put makeup on, and it looked terrible. After two weeks of pain, I finally gave up Retinol and only used Clindamycin. In two weeks, my acne started clearing up. Now, it has been a month, and my skin is 95% cleared. I really like this medication because it's not dry at all. (Maybe because my skin is used to it already.) Give it a try!"

For Acne "What’s so odd is that I used the clindamycin application for 2 months, and it completely cleared my acne and made my skin amazing. Now, at about 3 months, my skin is horrible. They say give it 3 months, and it should clear all your inflammatory acne. I had like 10 deep inflamed pimples that have left pitted scars, which I’ve never gotten before, and my skin is extremely textured compared to before (comedones). I’m giving it one more month to see if it improves, only one large inflamed pimple left on my face, and I better not get many more! What it does help for sure is inflammation, and I can definitely tell the difference before and after I apply it. Maybe I’m having antibiotic resistance."

For Acne "I have had problems with acne off and on as a teenager, but after I had our children, it got worse. I mean, a LOT worse! It got so bad that I have not been in any family pictures or even gone in public for the last 4 years! I am 39 years old and finally got so sick of wasting money and time on everything you can imagine, even tried every old wives' tale. Finally, my Dr. put me on this, benzoyl peroxide 5% and Retin-A. Yes, weeks 1-3 made it 30% worse, but week 4 and beyond, my skin looks amazing! I now love going into public and my confidence is through the roof. I would definitely recommend it for everyone!"

Clindamycin topical 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 I do not agree. However, I inserted the Clindesse before bed, and the next day the odor was nonexistent. I haven't had any side effects, so I'm a fan of 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 "I have been using the Clindamycin Phosphate Topical Solution USP 1% with a Tretinoin cream for my acne. I'm still on my first week, but I have definitely noticed an improvement on my face. The only downside is my skin is extremely dry before the cream and about 30 minutes after the cream has been absorbed into my skin. I'm not sure if it's the cream or due to me not washing my face properly before using it. It might not work the same for everyone, but this stuff has definitely been saving my life. I was so embarrassed to take pictures due to how bad my acne was getting, and then I was prescribed this by my doctor, and it has made my face look so much better."

For Acne "I have been using clindamycin for 2 months, and my acne has cleared up and is now smooth, no hard, huge pimples or zits anymore. I also threw away my MAC makeup and bought oil-free-based makeup and stopped eating chocolate per my dermatologist, and my skin has been great. Oh, the first 2 weeks my acne was worse than it ever was, then I used clindamycin, but after that, my skin was clear, just an FYI. Also, my dermatologist told me to buy the Differin gel to clear up my dark marks, so we shall see how that works."

For Acne "Highly recommend for mild acne. I was put on this to treat my mild hormonal breakouts. Within a couple of 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 "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. Sometimes skin may redden, but I rate it 10 out of 10."
