I’ve been using Clindets 1% Pledgets 69s for about a week now to treat my acne. I was really hopeful because it’s an antibiotic that targets bacteria causing acne and reduces inflammation. However, I haven't seen any improvement yet. Has anyone else had similar experiences, or tips? It does seem to be working on some areas, but I’m wondering if it’s just taking longer than expected to kick in. I’ve been applying it exactly as directed and I am washing my face with a gentle cleanser. Has anyone noticed improvement? I’m getting a bit worried since I’ve too many side effects that I can see listed in the FAQs. I'm also curious about how long it typically takes for others to notice a difference. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Clindamycin is great, but make sure you’re using it with a gentle cleanser. I found that using harsh products just made my skin worse.

I’ve been using it for a few weeks and my skin feels a bit better, but I’m not sure if it’s actually clearing up the acne. Anyone else feel this way?

I’ve been using it for a month and my acne has definitely improved. I just make sure to moisturize a lot because it can be drying.

I haven’t seen any improvement yet, but I’ll give it a bit more time. Fingers crossed!

I’m really scared of the potential side effects. Has anyone experienced any of the more serious issues like C. diff diarrhea?

I had to stop using it because it made my skin super dry and irritated. Maybe it’s not for everyone?

I had a really bad reaction to it—got hives and had to go to the ER. Be careful and keep an eye out for any severe side effects.

I’ve been using Clindets for about two months now and I’ve seen a big improvement in my acne. It took a while to kick in, but it’s definitely working!

I think it’s working for me, but I’m getting a bit oily. Anyone else experience this?
