User Reviews for clindamycin phosphate topical

I have been suffering from folliculitits since I was 17 and now at age 25 I have almost no acne marks. Since I started this product less than a month ago, I have not seen any new acne which has allowed my face to heal tremendously.

I'm 17 and I got started on this about a month ago because I've had bad acne since I started puberty which was about age 12. and we've tried everything else and nothing seemed to work. I talked to my family doctor about my acne and he prescribed me this. It's been working wonders and I can see a huge difference. I'm seeing less acne on my face and it's making me feel more confident. Even my mom is happy with the results!

My 15year old daughter has used daily for more than two years. Seemed to work for a few months then stopped helping. She had continued use daily thinking her skin would be worse without it. She has had a very severe reaction this month with facial swelling, tounge swelling, throut swelling, headache, sinus swelling with drainage. She has been very sick! She is still recovering, with stomach problems as well. Please use caution with long term use!!!!!!!!!

I have been using this product recommended by my dermatologist for about four months. I have noticed no change in my skin. I still get just as many pimples if not more. My face is also dry and red since starting this prescription lotion. Not happy!

I have been using this product for 6 month and i did not notice any difference on my skin retin a is really good try that

I've been using this ointment for about a year now & at first, it was excellent. I think I may be getting immune to it at times, but it still keeps my bigger zits at bay, pretty well. I've a ton of tiny, white zits, as well as tiny black heads, deep in my pores & it's not really helping much w/them at all anymore. I use Benzole Peroxide OTC (for years) w/it & it helps keep my skin moist from that. I also use Clean/Clear toner for years too. I don't agree w/some of the comments on this being so drying, as I found it to be the opposite. I don't use as much moisturizer since I've been using it & as I said, it's helped my more severe drying & flaking that the BP causes. Also, when I use moisturizers, I break out more, even if non pore clogging! I'm happy to keep using it, until my doc gives me something else, that may be more effective against the hundreds of tiny white, deep pored acne, that nothing seems to touch! I don't see a dermatologist, b/c there are none who are taking new patients w/in an hour of me! So, it's my GP who is treating me for it. I've gone my whole life treating my acne w/o a doctor involved, so finally, realizing you don't 'grow out of it', I've had to beg my GP to HELP! It got worse as I got older & now w/the menopause, really changed again, getting worse, still! When I've run out of the Clin., it gets worse, so I know it's helping, in general. I just think I need more, to deal w/the deep pore plugs. I keep my face as clean as I can & wear little to no makeup, so as not to add to the problem. I do like some sun, so it does not show my acne much at all & gives my face color w/o makeup. Hope there is something else I can try, to clear me up a lot more!Read More Read Less

used for a scalp condition. Seemed to thick to use on scalp with hair. Seemed to cling to hair like a hair dressing.

I have starte the cream and I spot from acne on my shoulder and back and few on my face

Since my Dermatologist prescribed this for a scalp problem, the 2nd time I refilled and tried I have gotten no relief, in fact my scalp is peeling and itching so bad I am about ready to scream. I have since seen Derma Dr and my regular Doctor and NO ONE has an answer except it is not lice or bed bugs aor those other little critters I need help, because now the scalp is still peeling and itching but it peels badly and I am embarrassed and I have also lost hair in my parts (hair line) along the front sides and top HelpRead More Read Less

My one year old son's face has been breaking out really bad. We have went to Drs., Dermatologist, and they have all said its severe baby acne. The last dermatologist we saw specialized in children. She called in the Clindamycin Lotion for me to use on his face, but the information guide says not to use on children under 12 years of age. I just got it today, I want to do whatever I can to get his little face to clear up so it won't scar, but don't want to use anything that could hurt him. Any one have any suggestions on it?Read More Read Less

I just got this drug and I've already gotten compliments on how my skin looks clearer. My skins initial reaction was drying out but now it's gotten used to it and my skin is slowly but surely getting better

Within four days my stubborn acne that had been lurking around for months vanished! Although my skin became super dry in the beginning which is hat cleared the acne, it turned into scabs and then flaked away and once the acne was cleared my skin began to feel stronger and got a little softer. easy to use but the smell is absolutely terrible! the smell is so strong it clears the inside of my nose and burns my eyes and is also hard to breathe until it drys.

This medication formes a film over the skin which if touched will peel off like after a sunburn. Trying to wear makeup over the medication is worthless. I am one of the rare individuals who had a reaction to the medication and as described in side effects was aweful and I still have isues due to it today. USE WITH CAUTION!

After only using for about 2 days I got an allergic reaction that took about 3 weeks to clear.

I use this with differin gel , though i havent used as directed for over a year. applying both to my skin twice a day was just too much but once works amazingly well. i had cystic acne for years and as an adult i was well over it. for the first couple of months my skin looked horrible and was always peeling , found some amazing moisturizer made by lancome. two years later my skin is still completely clear and feels awesome.

Prescribed for foliculitis by my Dermatologist. Works well Used as needed.

Worked great when first started using but have used it for four years now and thinking my skin is getting used to it and not working as well.

prevents skin boles from turning into ulcers, very very happy with product.
