Pros:

-cleans skin
-prevents future break outs most of the time, and when it does happen it is very little and the pimples go away after a couple days after continued use

Cons:

-none

Best product I have ever used. I am using triple action oxy but this is the same. I used to use oxy deep pore when i was younger and never had any major break outs, but then I stopped using it for some reason. Thats when i broke out like crazy, resorted to accutane two cycles then retin a for scars and i pretty much screwed up my skin. Now since ive been using oxy pads i dont have any pimples and the scars have faded because of retin a and la roche posay thermal water. Trust me if you don't want your pimples to be large and cause scarring use oxy pads fades them quickly.

Pros:

-Clears skin overnight. (not completely tho, of course)
-Leaves your skin feeling clean.
-Great for combination/oily skin.

Cons:

-Very very strong smell
-May sting if u have any open sores

I'm in love with these pads. Theyre super thin but completely drenched in whatever chemicals they use to clear the skin. The first noticed i used it i noticed a huge difference in my pimple size..a decrease of about 85%!! i use these about 4 or 5x a week, i dont use them everyday cuz i dont want my skin to become immune to it and start to break out. But it hasnt yet and overall i love these pads!

Pros:

It leaves a clean feeling. I used this for a day and 10 pimples cleared up! You can actually see the dirt that was on your face on the pad!

Cons:

It smells weird, but it is only because it has alcohol. Also, it only stings if you pop your pimples, so don't touch your face. If you did touch your face, you know it's working because it stings

This product is amazing! I would recommend it to anyone with oily or combination skin!

Pros:

-Works fast
-Very easy to use
-Cheap
-Better than expensive treatments!

I used to have severe acne, so I went to a dermatologist. They gave me several $100-$200 dollar treatments, that helped a little, but my skin still wasn't great. I got monthly chemical peels. I tried proactive. I ate healthy and exercised. I did everything you could imagine. I was going away for a week, and the face cleansing kit I was using would spill in my bag, so I bought some of these to bring, as a filler. Immediately, my skin looked a little clearer. With continued use I now only get the occasional pimple. (:

Pros:

Deep cleans
Inexpensive
Helps preventing new acne

Cons:

Strong alcohol smell
Oil production increases

I've always had good success using Oxy products. For the past year or so, I've used the Oxy wash with some positive success. However, I was still getting new pimples from time to time. I have hormonal type acne and they usually form on my chin area. I decided to try the cleansing pads in hoping that they will further clean and prevent new spots. My first reaction after using the pad is that it really deep cleans. I can see the dirt and oil on the pad even after I wash my face. That tells me washing alone doesn't get rid of all buildups. But be careful when you use it near your eyes, they will sting (more so if you wear contacts). I haven't had any major breakout since I started using the pads. However, my oil production seems to have increased from it. My face usually gets very oily and shiny just a few hours later. I'm not sure if it's because my pores are unclogged after using the pad and allow the oil to surface or if it's my skin produces more oil to counter the dryness. The only thing I dislike about this product is the alcohol level is pretty high and the strong fragrance smell. But I will continue to use them because my face feels and looks much healthier from the cleansing pads.

Pros:

I've been using it for two days, and already all my problem spots have been cleared. My forehead was my main concern and already (second day) it's cleared

Cons:

I had used a couple of my friends' oxy pads at first and it left a dry spot on my cheek. But when I bought my own and use it regularily (one when you wake up, one before you sleep) it gets better and the dry spot disaapeared for me. Also, because it's so strong you should DEFINITELY use lotion or a moisturizer afterwards. No bad side effects otherwise

The acne on my forehead had been bothering me so bad. I'm going to school next week and I really needed a way to get rid of my acne. I tried clean and clear, st. Ives, etc. But no positive results came with them. I had been just about to order Skin ID or Pro Active, even though I had heard some bad reviews. I found my friend had been using oxy pads since I've known her, and he has had clear skin the whole time as well. At sleepovers and anything, I'd use them and noticed they worked really well. All I've heard of was good reviews from oxy pads, and considering it's been only 2 days, and it's already working. I'd definitely buy it.

Pros:

consistently cleared 90% of comedones and all cystic acne with heavy use. cystic acne quickly returned after discontinuing product. the lower concentration was not effective in my case. this is an fortuitously inexpensive product.

Cons:

none with normal use. some redness and flaking if usage goes from 'heavy' to 'excessive'. still have occaisional blackheads, but as a monotherapy, with no moisturizer even, it works pretty damned well.

yeah, try this.
