Anyone ever used it? My doctor gave me an Rx for it today.
I'm on Yasmin 28 for my Birth Control and it's just not fixing my skin enough so he suggested I try the Clindoxyl Gel.

Active ingredients are:
1% Clindamycin and 5% Benzoyl Peroxide.

Anyone ever seen this stuff? Any luck?

This combination sounds like Duac. I didn't like Duac as it seemed to clogged my pores. It had the same ingredients, but perhaps the binding ingredients are different.

It does sound like the same actives as Duac ( which I am using.) It's been working for me but I also use Tazorac and take Yaz BCP. It really depends on your skin- good luck!

I have read that it gets kind of 'gluey' if you apply too much but I'll only be using it at night and very little amounts.

I hope it works! :)

Only 5 days into it now...

I was worried that this cream might make things worse before they got better.
But my skin is seriously the clearest it has been in years.

I'm pleasantly surprised.

That's great, Meagan! I'm happy for you! :)
