Pros works really well if you use it consistently. gets rid of all the bumps, leaves skin smooth and oil free.
Cons the bottle tends to leak.
Bottom line it works great. you have to be patient. it took about a week or so for it to start really working for me, and now my skin is clear(:

Pros there really weren't any at all. =/ perhaps i noticed it helped a little bit in some areas, but overall it didn't help well at all.
Cons burning, stinging, itching, peeling, redness, and general discomfort for an extended period of time.
Bottom line i definitely would not recommend it. in fact, i think it may have just made my acne worse. i used it for two weeks until i was fed up with feeling like something was viciously eating away at my face. it was very very uncomfortable for me. my face felt like it was on fire, it was very agitated, even after applying moisturizer, and my skin was peeling. i have sensitive skin and if you do too, be forewarned.

Pros Works quickly. Kills huge pimples.
Cons Doesn't do anything for the smaller pimples. Doesn't prevent breakouts. Stings.
Bottom line I started using this at 12 years old when I started to get very light breakouts. It did absolutely nothing for me. I do have to admit though that it works well on the bigger spots.

Pros it has freaking 10% benzoyl peroxide so of course it will be effective.
you see results immediately.
its cheap
Cons the packaging makes it look like its a men's shampoo or something
2 days after i used oxy, my face got extremely bumpy and irritated from the high dosage of benzoyl peroxide.
Bottom line i started breaking out insanely this summer so i started using oxy and after about 2 days, my face got really bumpy and gross but i alternated using oxy with cetaphil, which is suuuuper gentle. my face cleared up so quickly but i have some scars where my pimples used to be :/

i recommend this for people who have oily skin and occasional pimples.

DONT GET THIS if you have normal or dry skin, or you only get pimples once or twice a month. its going to be wayyy too strong for your complexion and end up ruining it.

Pros Quickly removes whiteheads, blackheads, oils on skin. Works every time.
Cons Stings a little, doesn't remove the "red bumps" acne unless you use it long enough.Not many people know how to use it correctly. Goes fast.
Bottom line Works extremely well for removing whiteheads and blackheads. Use it long enough and it can clear up your face. I'm not even sure I'm using it properly because there are no directions on the bottle. I wash my face with soap, apply the oxy formula, wait about 30 seconds, and THOROUGHLY rinse it off. Overall: quickly removes acne, eventually clears up face.

Pros removes oil---------------FAST
LOTS better than Proactiv
size of acne reduced quickly
Cons Oil comes back after washing
Bottle empties fast
sometimes stings skin
Bottom line I have used proactiv and it just doesn't match up to Oxy
I used both Sensitive(green) and Maximum(red)

Sensitive- has 5% benzol peroxide and is gental on the skin-after you can feel the coolness

Maximum-has 10% benzol peroxide and can sting skin a little but it goes away quick-workes faster than Sensitive

Bottom line--- Try it you never know
