Pros:Lathers great, makes my skin like super soft, doesnt dry skin out, 1st thing i found that lasts about 10 hours w/out my skin going back to being oily!!
Cons:i wish they made girls OXY, cuz the scent of the face wash is a really strong guy smell. (i mean, it smells good, but i dont want t smell like a guy either! LOL!
Bottom Line:the stuff works amazing! im so glad i found an ad for this. anyother soap (except Cetaphil) get rid of the oil on my face. i use the 2% salicic acid... or something like that! i dont hve bad pimples, i get like a few here and there, i just have bd oil. i recommend this to everyone w/ bad skin, boy or girl...

Pros:keeps acne from developing
Cons:wont get rid of acne, maks skin extra dry, makes face red.
Bottom Line:this works for teens that are just going through puberty, but other than that it's pointless.I used to use the cleanser and the pads when i was younger and it worked wonders, but now it just messed up my skin.BUT now i turned to aveda 4 step soulution, expensive, but worth it it made my skin clear it didnt dry out the skin and made you gllow and poreless.!!

Pros:works quickly, helps fight oil. the only thing i've found that will take care of my facial acne!!! 2 thumbs up
Cons:the gel makes my face break out worse than it was because the sent is oily (sorry for the spelling!)
Bottom Line:ive tried all types of acne treatments includin proactice and this is the only thing that doesnt cause acid burn marks and irratation to my skin. my favorite thing to use, my only issue is that i broke the top of the bottle when i dropped it at the beach!!!

Pros:Lathered Well
Felt Nice on Skin
Got Rid of Some of my Acne
Cons:Dried Out Skin
Made Skin Red, Itchy, Flaky, and Irritated
Bottom Line:If you have sensitive skin this not the cleanser for you, but if you have really oily skin this might work for you. I have combination and I would only use on my T-Zone, and I was fine. Moisturizer is needed.

Pros:Gets rid of acne quick and if you use it everyday it keeps working. Great for severe adult acne. Cheap!
Cons:None that I've found so far. I am please.
Bottom Line:I have had severe acne for as long as I can remember. Everyone's acne is different so it may not work for everyone. For the first time in my life I feel like I am keeping my acne under control. My face looks and feels great. I started using this product b/c I read something online that said adult acne should be treated with this benzoyl peroxide along with a daily, oil free lotion. I tried it and got wonderful results.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Micki has used this item for about a year.

Pros:It makes your skin feel clean and soft. Gets rid of few pimples like whiteheads.
Cons:Never got rid of my papusles on my cheeks. Still I have horrible acne.! Very liquidy
Bottom Line:Please read Ok well i paid like over $200 on all these products clean and clear clearasil nuetrogena oxy and never proactive and all these chemicals TOTALLy ruined my skin. My skin will never be the same when i was 10. I started to break out about 7th grd and Horrible. I had irritated my skin to the point where i used like terminator 10 for acne it burned like a layer off my skin :[[ Now im 14 and a girl and i have worse acne my dad and my sisters make fun of me and make comments. My mom never brings me to the dermatoligist because its to much money. My friends never comment though(Thank god i would die) But i feel ugly. Like i cant go out with anyone. So i hope that a good looking boy comes along with acne so i dont feel Left out.ALLLL my friends have beatiful skin. At this point sometimes i cry just looking in the mirror. Even though my pediatrician says its mild it feels like SEVERE. I feel like killing me so i dont have to live with it. I would do anything to cure acne. I hate it

Pros:contains Benzoyl Peroxide which helps blemishes and breakouts
Cons:unfortunately this contains 10% benzoyl peroxide that is the most anybody can use for medication without actually burning your skin off literally!
Bottom Line:Will cause burning and itching because it contains so much benzoyl peroxide but if u have cysts, severe acne than use it but if u have mild, moderate acne than this is not for u.

Pros:Removed major zits quickly. easy to use and put on. didnt have a problem with staining clothing.
Cons:the small discolored pimples on your face will not leave unless you use twice a day for a few months. its really intense for sensitive skin. The packin sucks it leaks and if it isn't closed correctly then it dries up and becomes useless.
Bottom Line:its like taking steroids :D at first youll be amazed by how much your face has cleared up until slowly pimple start to pop up again and murder your face. Overall its amazing for a quick cleanup used regularly you will notice a difference but it wont be massive and wont get rid of everything. I dont recommend it to anyone because unless its Tuesday and you got a date the following Thursday it aint gonna do you much good because once that first week is over thats about all the important you will ever get.
