Pros gets rid of redness, smells pretty decent, gets rid of acne.
Cons takes a while for the acne to disappear, stings like crazy when first applied, itches after applying, then COMPLETELY dries the face.
Bottom line I usually have very dry skin, so many acne medications don't help me at all. These pads helped after a few weeks, as long as I used a moisturizer right after - otherwise my face got all tight and even got flaky! Oh, and the stinging is bearable, just annoying.

Pros Smells decent
Cons Made my skin EXTREMELY dry, then my acne just got worse. Even though it said that there is no alcohol is burned and stung like there is some. It's very wet too.
Bottom line No one should use this product, I wouldn't recommend it to any one.

Pros Works for bacne, ingrown hairs. Pad has a plain side and one that exfoliates. No dryness or irritation.
Cons Wish the jar came with more medicine in it, or that you could purchase the liquid separately
Bottom line I typically get acne on my back and shoulders and sometimes other parts of my body. I started using this a few months ago on my back and shoulders and haven't had a single pimple or bump since I started. At first I thought it was a fluke, but I've been using it long enough without a blemish that I've concluded it must be working. And unlike the RetinA and other topical treatments I've tried, I have absolutely no dryness. I couldn't be happier! FYI, I also use it in my bikini area to prevent ingrown hairs, and have been nearly problem-free there as well.

Bottom line Other than the wetness, it has worked great for me!

Pros great as toner -- gentle, but helps skin become less oily
Cons works better when combined with neutrogena on the spot
Bottom line great as a toner. helps reduce oil. can be a little drying, so apply lotion on dry areas after. then, put on the spot treatment on the spots.

Pros Prevents Acne, Refreshing, Easy to Use, Relatively Inexpensive
Cons Doesn't clear acne immediately.
Bottom line I had tried a whole bunch of acne products before I decided to pick up Stridex. With regular use (once or twice a day should be enough), it cleared up my face within a few weeks.

Pros Good make-up remover.
Cons Dried my face out...skin started to peel YUK
Bottom line Did nothing but give me worse acne...big painful acne bumps. I use to use this product in highschool, it was great...but now it's just good for cleaning off make-up and nothing more!!!
