"Was prescribed a Clindagel for PD. Really didn’t do much at all. I know everyone is different but I honestly wouldn’t waste too much with this. Violet extract dried it up in a couple days. Also went to Chinese doctor (TCM) and got herbal tea that has helped a lot! Elidel helps bring down flares as well but is not a cure."

"I was prescribed this for dermatitis, I have dry and painful rashes around my eyes. This made it WORSE. I am so annoyed with my doctor - he always prescribes me the wrong treatment. My skin is stinging from this treatment and I have awful stomach pains - AVOID. It has made my dry skin 10000 times more dry."

"Contrary to everyone else, I had a very good experience with this medication. I had very severe perioral eczema and got prescribed this with an oral pill that I think was steroids or something. It cleared up in a month and I finally felt confident and free. I had zero side effects and always applied it after I showered or washed my face. I also used Neutrogena hydration lotion after putting it on too. Now, I use it every so often if I get small flare-ups and it always makes it go away when I put it on as soon as I see it coming back."

"This caused my facial rash to multiply. It caused tiny white heads and red bumps. I was taking oral antibiotics and added this cream as prescribed. I finished the course of antibiotics and was confused why things were getting worse. I stopped using this and literally within days my skin was clearer. It’s expensive too after insurance. Not worth it! My skin also responded well to Drunk Elephant Jelly Cleanser incase that helps anyone! I moisturize with Trader Joe’s Oil Free face lotion when my skin is struggling, and Ponds Deep Moisture face cream when things are calm."
