Pros:Powerful. Within a week, it minimized my breakouts and virtually cleared my face from any blemishes at all.
Cons:Almost a little too powerful. 10% benzoyl peroxide means even people with oily skin may have irritation. I don't have sensitive skin at all, but the first 2 days I used oxy, my face become extremely red, swollen, and itchy. It can also bleach towels.
Bottom Line:If you have dry or sensitive skin, avoid this like the plague.. it will dry your skin out. Cetaphil/aloe vera lotion can solve this problem. I had to minimize use to once every other day until my skin was used to the benzoyl peroxide. The payoff was great, though. It's definitely worth a try.

Pros:Works to clearn up old acne. Stops new acne from forming (big pimples). Little pimples, really tiny still show but disappear within 1 or 2 days.
Cons:Itchy and some burning. Can bleach clothing and sheets.
Bottom Line:I posted on Oct. 9th and have been using this product over a month. Going on 2 months. Arms and upper back look really good. I've actually begun using the new OXY Body Wash with Alpine scent. Yeah, I know its for guys but it works. And my skin is smoother after using it. I'm pleased with this Oxy Daily Wash and after almost 2 months, and some ruined shirts and sheets...things look much better. Will probably be all clear by spring.

Pros:same main ingredient as Proactive but for less price
Cons:Drying and itchy skin
Bottom Line:My face seems to get a little dry (more so in the winter) and itchy from using this product. I think using a moisturizer will help but I choose not to use it. I just don't like using a face lotion because it makes my face feels greasy. My face usually gets a little dry after washing but oily in about 3-4 hours afterwards. The BP wash seems to be doing something so far because it's keeping my existing acne under control and I haven't noticed a new one forming yet. I have a few tiny ones but nothing to be worried about. It's only been a week and I suppose it will continue to get better after a month of use. I would also advice you not to use too much of it and leave it on for too long to keep the dryness down.

Pros:Works great! Make sure you rub it in VERY well. You should spend at least 5 minutes massaging it into your skin. I find it best to wash with an anti bacterial liquid soap first.
Cons:Stops working if you stop using it. May have some redness in skin when you first start using it, easily worth it.
Bottom Line:Buy it, it's cheap and works great as long as you spend the time to really rub it in.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Josh has used this item for a few months.

Pros:Worked well within 3 days
Cons:A bit itchy due to dryness
Bottom Line:I can't put salicylic acid on my body because it gives me blackheads. Since I get pimples on my upper back and upper arms, I decided to try this daily wash on my body, even though it is for the face. I saw a difference in 2 days as the pimples dried up and no new ones started. I don't have severe acne but mild. So after 2 days I stopped using it to give my skin some rest from the drying and itchiness. That way my skin won't become too used to the product and it will stop working. I'm happy with it. It's also clearing up the old acne scars which are brown on my skin. As an african american, it is hard to find products that work on our skin. Hyperpigmentation is a big problem among African Americans. As my old dermo said, the products on the market just aren't for your people. We just have to deal with the scarring or mix and match to find something that works. This works for me.

Pros:it works, you wont breakout out in the future. IT should take awhile at first. You wont get oily ski n in the mornings or during the day. I find it best to use ALOE VERA GEL after the product. IT keeps it from overdrying and shedding.
Cons:Depends on skin type, it may make face red for while.
Bottom Line:Its worth the wait. And if use aloe vera after the product, nothing should go wrong.
Usage:dan has used this item for a few weeks.
