| Pros: | Works well for mild to moderate acne. |
| Cons: | Bleaches clothes. I have lost a lot of clothes as a result of using this product, sweating later and finding my clothes were bleached even though I didn't get the product anywhere near the clothes. |
| Bottom Line: | Don't want to alarm people but I think The Mentholatum Company is phasing out the 10% benzoil wash in favor of the Salicylic Acid wash. I can't find the 10% wash anywhere. I have found the 5% wash. I tried the Salicylic Acid wash and had at least 2 new small pimples every day. In addition, my acne started to rage out of control after just 2 weeks even though I used the benzoil peroxide spot treatment, and washed my face at least 3 times a day. If you check out the reviews for Clearasil products you will see that some people respond well to Salicylic Acid. My experience was exactly the opposite. I've been dealing with adult acne for many years. The 10% was one of the few products that worked despite the fact that it ruined much of my clothing. It was a trade-off I was willing to make. I am now going back to my doctor for a prescription to a 10% benzoil peroxide wash. In the meantime, buying up the only remaining bottles that I found at one drugstore in the entire city. |

| Pros: | Clears skin fast, affordable |
| Cons: | Must be consistently used |
| Bottom Line: | I used ProActiv for 5 months. It cleared my skin sometimes, but I usually ended up breaking out pretty bad. I decided to try OXY as an alternative, and woke up to clean, clear and oil free skin. I don't have to wear concealer anymore. My friends compliment my skin everyday. A+++ If you want to feel good about your face, BUY THIS!! You won't ever have to worry about what your skin looks like in florescent lighting, ever again. :-) If you use the face wash, I'd recommend the OXY PADS and OXY ON THE SPOT TREATMENT too. |

| Pros: | I love this stuff. I'm going to buy 2 bottles before I go overseas for a year! Works much better than the expensive brands and competing brands. This $4 bottle works BETTER than the $120 Obagi acne kit I bought. you can't go wrong. back to the basics |
| Cons: | may dry a little. but if u have jojoba oil, you don't notice a difference |
| Bottom Line: | GET IT! My acne was moderate. I mostly have scars, but I did have a lot of random big pimples that would come out. Especially the ones that was under my skin. those are the worst cuz they look like bumps and u can't pop them. However, once I got this, i haven't had any. actually, i did get a small one, but i used the OXY spot treatment along with the washer and it never became an actual bump. so yeah, i love this stuff.
The reason y this stuff works is because it sticks with the basics. no fragrence, no fancy ingredients. just straight up benzoyl peroxide @ 10%. Love it! |

| Pros: | It works so well to get rid of my mild acne. A friend of mine who had severe acne says it has efficiently reduced the amount of severe acne he suffered from and said that he used it as a face wash and a spot treatment before he would go to sleep. |
| Cons: | It drys your skin out when you use it too often, and it also drys your skin out when it is very dry outside. It burns a little bit when you first start using it. And when you stop using it for a day or two your acne starts coming back asap. |
| Bottom Line: | I SWEAR BY THIS STUFF FOR MY ACNE!!!! It is easy to carry around, but the lid of the bottle breaks kinda often. The last 3/5 of my bottles lids have broken. I've learned to keep the lids of the bottles that still function properly for later use. |
| Recommended: | Yes |

| Pros: | Small bottle - easy to pack for traveling, but the cheap plastic can easily be broken. Consistently work. I have tried $450/treatment cosmetic laser, plastic surgeon's Solvere, Proactiv, Elizabeth Arden, Clinique, Neutrogena, Clerasil, Clean &Clear |
| Cons: | Try not to get it around the eyes; the fumes will burn your eyes, and you'll start crying/tearing up. It takes a while for your eyes to not get irritated after the fumes irritate it. The formula is extremely runny, and the lid/cap is easily broken. |
| Bottom Line: | It will consistently work. Most products that I have tried only works in the beginning. Then after your skins gets accustomed to the product, it stops working/taking effect. It does not clear my entire face, but heavily reduces the amount and severity of my acne. Due to the high benzoyl peroxide, you might see several small bumps like chicken skin appearances due to extreme dryness. The formula did bleach my towel and a little of my front bangs. Try Mederma for acne scars and blemishes; it has helped quickly reduce old and new blemishes. I never had acne in my life until after moving to Cincinnati two years ago from Dallas, TX. Since my skin is extremely oily (almost to a new category of greasy even though I don't work at a restaurant), I use the max face wash and then apply the cleansing pad. I don't even bother to apply moisturizer anymore since I have an unlimited supply of face oil, but apply some sort of lotion or anti-wrinkle serum is necessary around the eye |

| Pros: | Cleared up reddness on the first use Didn't dramatically dry my skin Very easy to use |
| Cons: | Runny from the bottle
Otherwise, nothing else!!! |
| Bottom Line: | I 100% L-O-V-E this product!!! In 3 months I have gone from zits and red to fab and clear! No I still get occasional zits but they are hormonal. I use it once in the shower for the mornings then before I go to bed for the past 95 days! So simple and since I travel back and fourth it is very easy to bring along. I have used many products before such as Acne Free, Neutrogena Wave, Neutrogena Advanced, so on and so fourth and each kit priced about 15+ dollars. Insane! Now I pay monthly (if that) about 7 dollars a bottle and I proundly give my money away for magic in a bottle. I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT!!! |

| Pros: | Works pretty well, not neary as harsh as I though it would be. I just have mild acne, so it works great to make sure I have clear, nice skin! |
| Cons: | It is a little runny, but that's good for when you wash it off. Seems to irritate and sting a little at certain places such as the corners of my nose and just random spots on my face. A little drying, but not much at all. |
| Bottom Line: | I'm quite pleased and impresed with this product. Will definitley keep using it. Going to use it right now before I go to bed, actually. (: |
| Recommended: | Yes |
