Pros This stuff is awesome! I've tried dermatologists, every OTC acne med you can find, Proactive, NOTHING WOKRED except this stuff. I LOVE IT!!!!!!
Cons It keeps selling-out at Wal-Mart and the past 4 weeks i've gone in I can't find it. I finally found the last two packages in town at a Walmart grocery market and bought them both!!!
Bottom line It's amazing and I absolutely reccomend it for anyone with acne problems, I just hope they start producing more of it and NEVER change the formula.
Price paid $1.97

Pros This is the best acne product I have ever used!!!!!!!!! Honestly I have tried everything from perscription to over the counter. I don't like the equate clearisil, but the equate oxy is what I am talking about!!
Cons A little drying, but I would rather be dry than have tons of pimples. The consistency is chalky but I would rather have chalky then moist like cream. It is super hard to come by at Walmart and it's always sold out!! This time I bought five packages!
Bottom line It's awsome and sooooooooooooooooooooooo affordible!!!!! The best bang for your buck ever!! I swear by this product!! Can clear your face up if you have a terrible break out in a matter of day's!!
Price paid $1.86

Pros Clears up skin quickly, and keeps it smooth. If you mix it in with lotion, it won't dry up as much. Also, it's very cheap, and works just as well as the name brands.
Cons I finally figured out what has been bleaching my sheets! Thanks guys, but I've been mixing it with cocoa butter lotion, so it doesn't happen anymore. Other than that..none.
Bottom line Try it, it's good :)

Strive To Resist from Beaumont, CA

Pros Dries up pimples, has already started helping some with my under-skin red bumps (nodules?), VERY cheap
Cons Dries skin, leaves light white film (hidden when used with moisturizer)
Bottom line I bought the maximum strength (10% benzoyl peroxide) and it has worked wonders so far. Yes, it dries my skin out, but everybody knows that BP does that, which is why everybody reccomends moisturizer. I put it on in the morning after cleansing and then apply moisturizer which eliminates the visible white film and helps with the itching it sometimes causes when your skin is not quite used to BP yet. It's extremely affordable (I got it for around $1 at Wal-Mart). My acne is clearing up nicely, it's even helping the acne under my skin (nodules?). BP is the best thing that will ever happen to you (IF your skin can handle it - not reccommended if your skin is EXTREMELY sensitive - mine is sort of but not that bad).

Pros It works when other acne medications did not.
Cons It will fade clothing and bedding, badly. That's what I really hate about it. But it has 10% Benzoyl Peroxide it fades anything thats colored. So be careful of where you put this stuff.
Acne severity very light

Tweety from NC

Pros Clears up the skin
Cons burns the skin and gave me a rash from hell. had to go to the emergency room the swelling was so intense and the pain was so bad. I used it as directed and followed all directions.
Bottom line I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone, it burned my face, gave me hives and caused severe swelling of my eyes, face and throat. When I asked WalMart what all was in it, they didn't care and said "oh well". I wouldn't recommend WalMart products to anyone... not after having the horrifying experience I had!
