Pros:

Clears up skin overnight! I have been using other acne products and they only added to my breakouts, but with Oxy cleansing pads, and the spot treatment I saw resaults very quickly.

Cons:

I have only been using oxy for a day now, and i haven't had any problems with it yet. however, it has worked very well and i can't say enough how much i love it!

Bottom Line? If you are having trouble with you acne, and the other products arent working. I WOULD definately try Oxy. It is affordable and easy to use. You do not have to go through a "4 step process" that takes up much of you time, instead you take the pad and wipe it all over.. plus you see the dirt comming off onto the pad, so you know it's working well. !!!!! PLEASE READ!!! My price was for the Oxy maximum strength pads, and ALSO the spot treatment.

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.

This is one of the only acne medications that works on me and doesn't burn too bad or feel really weird. Also not as expensive as other acne products

Cons:

Bleaches facial hair

Finally, a product that works at an affordable price!

Pros:

-EASY EASY EASY!
-almost completely gets rid of regular pimples
-cheap
-works just as well as proactiv in a fraction of the time!

Cons:

-doesn't get rid of blackheads or anti-inflammatory whiteheads
-or those disgusting cyst-y pimples that never go away (but nothing really works on those anyway)
-dries out skin in the beginning, but your skin gets used to it after a week or so

I am officially dumping proactiv for oxy pads! I am rarely wearing makeup anymore and when I touch my skin it feels super-smooth. Except for the occasional annoying pimple, my face is pimple-free! I used to get bad acne around my eyebrows but now I have no problems at all. It takes about 10-15 seconds to put on. It might not work on all skin types but it worked on mine! Highly recommended. The only things it doesnt get rid of are blackheads and those little tiny rows of anti-inflammatory whiteheads (I get them on my chin). But those arent visible to anyone but you anyway! And if you're just starting to use them, here's a tip: In the beginning use only one a day or maybe one every other day then gradually increase until you're at 2 a day. I do it twice a day regularly and 3 times if I see that I'm breaking out. This works well usually. Seriously, try this product, it's great! what have you got to loose?

Pros:

-Works fairly well

Cons:

-Odd scent.
-Stings a little.

A good product. May irritate skin a little if used too much, and a odd scent and some stinging, other then that no complaints. Always noticed a change for the better in my acne after use.

Pros:

You can feel the stink, its sort of like listerine the burns when using it. Long Lasting, Easy, and Quick. Just Grab swipe in the areas done.

Cons:

May dry your skin.Does Burn

Its very good, alot better than clearasil Ultra for me since Clearasil really dryed my skin in seconds. and bottle isn't long lasting like the pads.

Pros:

-Clears up forehead pimples
-White heads as well as some black heads
-Doesn't dry out skin severly

Cons:

-Works slowly (about two weeks plus)
-Ran out quickly because pads stick together

The cleansing pads work well but the only thing was it worked slowly and didn't clear up very much. But, after I got out of the shower, I scrubbed my face lightly (scrub off dead skin the can clog pores and aggrivate skin) then used the pads and it stung a little but what product that cleans pores won't? Then I applied ZapZit (THE GEL KIND) on the slightly open pore, went to bed, woke up ib the morning and it had gone down 70%! With consistent use and then use of the Oxy Daily Cleaner, you'll have clearer skin and healthier habits in no time.

Pros:

Does a decent job removing zits, but a great job preventing them. No rinse required. Personally I found it actually moisterized my skin a little.

Cons:

The scent is pretty potent. I usually only use it before bed, or after workouts because of it.

Very affordable product. Depending on how often you use it, about $8 will get you a pack that lasts a month or two. Very portable, it's great for camping trips or anywhere you have low access to a shower. I usually end up buying the triple action or deep cleansing, but if your acne is so bad you need to use it morning, afternoon and night, you may want to go with unscented. The first few times you use it, it stings a little, but once your skin adjusts it's fine.
