Pros:

Got rid of pimples right away

Cons:

Very liquidy

I didn't rub this all over my face because its generally clean due to OXY PADS. But I applied just a bit directly on the pimple. I felt an immediate sense that it was working. It cleaned and dried it out and late the next day it was gone (Note I did open the pimple just a tad and squeezed the stuff out and then applied.)

Pros:

Works fast and the price is cheap.

Cons:

Can often cause skin to feel very dry.

After trying a lot of acne treatments none of them seemed to work, so i switched to oxy as a last resort i wasnt really expecting it to work but boy was a surprised it worked within a week. It does cause my skin to feel a little dry but thats nothing a little face cream cant fix.

Pros:

acne was minimized dramatically! my skin is soft. i had the under the skin pimples that hurt REALLY bad and the regular ones.
this took care of it. (:

Cons:

i used nuetrogena stress free foaming cleasner and it screwed my face up. it was all dry and cracked and it burned. I put baby lotion on it to help, after i had put the baby lotion on it to help the dryness i had tonssss of pimples. so i used oxy :D it cleared them up right away.

Pros:

Makes skin feel less oily. Clears acne and prevent more from forming

Cons:

Dry skin

The product worked for me in the beginning and cleared the pimples up well. However, I started to sleep lesser and feel stress. The acne came back anyway. The outbreak this time is admittedly definitely less severe than last time because of the stress.

Pros:

It's affordable and you can find it anywhere.

Cons:

It DOESN"T WORK!! And it doesn't foam, so it doesn't feel like its cleansing.

It pretty much does NOTHING for your moderate-severe acne. If you have minor/occasional acne...it might work! I sstill broke out just as bad as I did when I wasn't using it. It was basically pointless. I used it for about 6 months and then I took a year off. I decided to use it again over the summer (because they got new packaging so I thought it was a different product), but it still did NOTHING!!! Don't waste your time....trust me its not worth it!

Pros:

it works really well to help dry up those big painfu pimples and prevent them from coming back. the little bumps dissappear over time!! and your skin feels smooth and soft with continued use!!

Cons:

it made my skin a little more red than usual at fist, but if you use moisturizer afterwards, it will help a LOT!!

this is a great product for people with oily skin and really bad acne. it's best to use a moisturizer afterwards if you DON'T have oily skin. and please before you guys write reviews, give it at least two to three weeks for it to really work and see the true results.

Pros:

cheap and it actually works

Cons:

definately agree with everyone else when they say that it's pretty drying

looooove it. a few months ago oxy came out with a new wash containing salicylic acid, but for some reason, i think this one works better on my skin. anyway, i have oily, acne prone skin and this definately clears it up. i use this every morning and night, along with a deep pore cleansing scrub every other day and a mud face mask once a week. great results. although i am in a search for a good moisturizer.. any suggestions that would work well with this?

Pros:

same main ingredient as Proactive but for less price

Cons:

Drying and itchy skin

My face seems to get a little dry (more so in the winter) and itchy from using this product. I think using a moisturizer will help but I choose not to use it. I just don't like using a face lotion because it makes my face feels greasy. My face usually gets a little dry after washing but oily in about 3-4 hours afterwards. The BP wash seems to be doing something so far because it's keeping my existing acne under control and I haven't noticed a new one forming yet. I have a few tiny ones but nothing to be worried about. It's only been a week and I suppose it will continue to get better after a month of use. I would also advice you not to use too much of it and leave it on for too long to keep the dryness down.

Pros:

Works great! Make sure you rub it in VERY well. You should spend at least 5 minutes massaging it into your skin. I find it best to wash with an anti bacterial liquid soap first.

Cons:

Stops working if you stop using it. May have some redness in skin when you first start using it, easily worth it.

Buy it, it's cheap and works great as long as you spend the time to really rub it in.
