Pros:

works for a great price

Cons:

one week it left my face very dry

this is a good product. when my face dried out, i stop usising it for about a week. I've started using it again and it doesn't dry out anymore. *note: i'm talking about the facial scrub. I've used the body wash and it works great too.

Pros:

Works great! One of the only Benzol Peroxide products you can get over the counter.

Cons:

Will dry out skin if you aren't used to Benzol Peroxide. Use every other day until you get used to it as directed on the bottle.

Works great. I was paying a $40 month co-pay for a benzol peroxide pad prescription that was only 3%. This item is saving me a $35 a month. I am try to find the new extreme pads that are 2.5% but no one carries them yet so I am using the spot one until then. * Keep in mind that most acne treatments take at least 2, but usually 3- 4 weeks, to work. So to the people rating this product after just a few days have no idea what they are talking about.

Pros:

Trust me, it works --- under certain conditions

Cons:

It may dry your face too much upon applying

It works. My face was apprently used to all the benzyl peroxide, so I upped the percent by using OXY --- this stuff is 10%. If your face is not at all used to taking bezyl peroxide which is stronger than salicylic acid, I recommend you start with something low. Also you have to consistently make sure that your face gets all the moisture that it needs. It is true that bezyl peroxide dries your face. Even though you may suffer from having oily skin, you need to keep your face happy --- moisture and pH level happy.

Pros:

affordable, works well

Cons:

very drying to the skin

This product is affordable and works well. However, I only use it when my skin gets really bad because it is very drying and can make your cheeks look sunburned.

great at combating acne bacteria
this wash is great for combating the acne bacteria. Does dry out skin a bit but that may be what you're looking for.

Great face wash!

Pros:

Gets rid of acne-causing bacteria
Not oily or greasy

Cons:

Can bleach clothing (watch out)
Can be a bit difficult to completely wash off face

This wash is very good at getting rid of acne-causing bacteria. I've been using the 10% solution for about a year now. If you're looking for a scrub, this isn't what you need. Oxy also make a daily exfoliating scrub that can be used in conjunction with this wash. P.S. It's actually a good hair bleacher as well, I have blonde bangs now.

Pros:

-Affordable
-Not too abrasive on sensitive skin
-Convenient packaging (water doesn't leak in while using in the shower)

Cons:

-Too much fragrance

I really like this product when using it 2-3 times a week. I would not say this is an everyday cleanser. I feel that it is too harsh on my skin if used morning and night. This is more of my 'backup' when my skin starts acting up due to hormonal changes. I like that it is easily available at almost any grocery store. I am very pleased with Oxy products so far. Will continue to use.

stings a little

I had grad photos in 2 weeks and I need to get rid of a few pimples because I was not looking like a red balloon. So i picked up this product and within 2 days my acne was gone. I was impressed!

Pros:

- 10% BP
- Big Bottle

Cons:

- 10% BP ( not for face )
- cleanser

what can i say, its a bp cleanser 10%, not very effective if you have moderate or higher acne. i use for the body and its ok... maybe helps a bit but as a cleanser how much bp really gets absorded before washing off? doctors do not recommend wash off BP products and neither do i.
