Pros:

It clears up acne! WOOH!

Cons:

Dries skin a bit.

It dries up zits. Along with this, I use BenzaClin at night, and Differin in the morning. If my skin gets dry I use Cetaphil cream. This routine is for greasy,sensitive, and acne ridden skin.

Pros:

I works fast. It doesnt sting or burn. I really think I will be using this for a while

Cons:

It does dry your face out but I just cut down my using it to once a day(at night) and that solved my problem

This stuff shocked me. I read several reviews and most were good. Some people complained about the dryness at first but I would rather have dry skin than acne any day. I just wash my face with Cetaphil in the morning and use the Oxy at night. The both work well. I know from having acne since I was 12 that cetaphil is a good product but I also needed something to treat the acne and so far it seems to be the oxy. One thing to remember is that once your face clears up YOU STILL NEED TO USE THE OXY. There is no cure for acne and you just need to prevent it. If I had known that and listened years ago, maybe my skin would be clear now. So far I really like this product. I have sensitive oily skin and it is working for me. p.s. I got mines from Wal-Mart and if you work and have a flexible spending account, this product does qualify as a reimbursable expense.

Pros:

Cheap
Works nicely
Clean tingle

Cons:

May be too drying for sensitive skin

My boyfriend has been using this stuff for months, after years of searching for a good face wash to clear up his skin. His skin looks bright and beautiful now, in conjunction with a Salicylic acid moisturizer, he is completely clear.

Pros:

Nice liquid easy to rub in, the 10% is fine for my face. I only use this on my face. It has pratically no smell to it and works good I guess, only because I still get about two bad acne spots on myface. But did help clear things up.Butnot100%perfect.

Cons:

Some times it does not rub in all the way and leaves white marks. Just use water for that spot and rub it off. Dryness can occur, but that helps stop new acne.

Go ahead and try it as something new and see how it works on YOU. Everyone here has a different situation and the only way to find out if something works it to actually get it and try it.

Pros:

Works to clearn up old acne. Stops new acne from forming (big pimples). Little pimples, really tiny still show but disappear within 1 or 2 days.

Cons:

Itchy and some burning. Can bleach clothing and sheets.

I posted on Oct. 9th and have been using this product over a month. Going on 2 months. Arms and upper back look really good. I've actually begun using the new OXY Body Wash with Alpine scent. Yeah, I know its for guys but it works. And my skin is smoother after using it. I'm pleased with this Oxy Daily Wash and after almost 2 months, and some ruined shirts and sheets...things look much better. Will probably be all clear by spring.

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.

Pros:

Worked well within 3 days

Cons:

A bit itchy due to dryness

I can't put salicylic acid on my body because it gives me blackheads. Since I get pimples on my upper back and upper arms, I decided to try this daily wash on my body, even though it is for the face. I saw a difference in 2 days as the pimples dried up and no new ones started. I don't have severe acne but mild. So after 2 days I stopped using it to give my skin some rest from the drying and itchiness. That way my skin won't become too used to the product and it will stop working. I'm happy with it. It's also clearing up the old acne scars which are brown on my skin. As an african american, it is hard to find products that work on our skin. Hyperpigmentation is a big problem among African Americans. As my old dermo said, the products on the market just aren't for your people. We just have to deal with the scarring or mix and match to find something that works. This works for me.
