Pros:

Powerful. Within a week, it minimized my breakouts and virtually cleared my face from any blemishes at all.

Cons:

Almost a little too powerful. 10% benzoyl peroxide means even people with oily skin may have irritation. I don't have sensitive skin at all, but the first 2 days I used oxy, my face become extremely red, swollen, and itchy. It can also bleach towels.

If you have dry or sensitive skin, avoid this like the plague.. it will dry your skin out. Cetaphil/aloe vera lotion can solve this problem. I had to minimize use to once every other day until my skin was used to the benzoyl peroxide. The payoff was great, though. It's definitely worth a try.

Pros:

Cleans well and did not dry MY skin, leaves you feeling fresh. Also works very well to not only cure, but prevent acne.

A great facial wash that I found wasn't too harsh on my skin and is great value for money.

Pros:

used once when i had a fairly clear face, and surprisingly, it helped. how it could actually cause all this redness...idk. but its probably because i used it every other day.

if i need to i could use this stuff, but you should go see a dermatologist and get an evaluation to make sure your skin is getting its best treatment.

Pros:

Mild
No breakouts

Cons:

Didn't realy help with acne

Didn't really clear up acne but at least it didn't make it worse. No irritation, no dryness, no flakiness.

Pros:

Clears acne
No burn

Cons:

slightly drying

I've been using this everyday for about 4-5 days now. It doesn't smell BAD, it just smells like a medicated wash. Also, for me, it doesn't burn at all. I use it on both my back and my face every morning in the shower. My back is almost completely clear and I cannot describe how awesome that feels! My face breaks out occasionally with a few pimples, but this is clearing them right up. It is slightly drying, but within an hour or two my skin is back to normal. I love this product! It's the first one that's started to actually clear up my back.

Pros:

contains Benzoyl Peroxide which helps blemishes and breakouts

Cons:

unfortunately this contains 10% benzoyl peroxide that is the most anybody can use for medication without actually burning your skin off literally!

Will cause burning and itching because it contains so much benzoyl peroxide but if u have cysts, severe acne than use it but if u have mild, moderate acne than this is not for u.

Pros:

Temporary drying of pimples.

Cons:

To drying, irritation, just use 2.5% BP its just as good, or better.

It doesn't work, you may think Its doing something at the beggining but It didn't for me.

Pros:

Works well on face acne. Cheap. Easy to find.

Cons:

Does not work on body acne at all. Runny. May make skin peel at first.

Good product for small to medium amount of acne. Works even better in combination with other Oxy brand products.

Pros:

Cheap. Lathers/foams up only slightly.

Cons:

extremely runny. May be too harsh for sensitive skin.

Lathers up only slightly with tiny bubbles thus cleaning your skin without completely removing all of your skins natural barriers. So far this product seems to be effective in controlling my light acne.
