Pros:

This stuff works very well, I am a very good looking kid but i have mild acne. It makes me so mad but since the oxy my face looks really beautiful!! Also after useing this stuff use spot treatment with regular peroxide and over night it all disapears

Cons:

Do Not use rubbing alchohol with this it makes every pimple become more infected.

THis product works great for me. Its worth way more than the price. Get the whole package: Daily treatment (this stuff): Cleansing pads: and Oxy Soap.

Pros:

Clears up skin and leaves it feeling fresh and very clean

Cons:

Takes a while to work for oily skin like mine.

Those that say this thing worked over night are too overzealous and should be cautious about not using it anymore. With any acne product you need to use it consistently and for a while, at least a month, before you see 'real' results. My acne was pretty bad and I had realistic expectations from having gone to a dermatologist the first time my skin became this bad. It will get worse before it gets better, but if you stick with it until you skin gets used to any irritation then this stuff works great. I love it personally and I use it with the maximum strength pads and lotion for the full effect, worked better than proactiv for me.

Pros:

Cheap.

Stopped working after 2 weeks.

This sort of worked for about 2 weeks and then my face got way worse. I was covered in whiteheads and small bumps. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

Pros:

removes oil---------------FAST
LOTS better than Proactiv
size of acne reduced quickly

Cons:

Oil comes back after washing
Bottle empties fast
sometimes stings skin

I have used proactiv and it just doesn't match up to Oxy I used both Sensitive(green) and Maximum(red) Sensitive- has 5% benzol peroxide and is gental on the skin-after you can feel the coolness Maximum-has 10% benzol peroxide and can sting skin a little but it goes away quick-workes faster than Sensitive Bottom line--- Try it you never know

Pros:

Works well for mild to moderate acne.

Cons:

Bleaches clothes. I have lost a lot of clothes as a result of using this product, sweating later and finding my clothes were bleached even though I didn't get the product anywhere near the clothes.

Don't want to alarm people but I think The Mentholatum Company is phasing out the 10% benzoil wash in favor of the Salicylic Acid wash. I can't find the 10% wash anywhere. I have found the 5% wash. I tried the Salicylic Acid wash and had at least 2 new small pimples every day. In addition, my acne started to rage out of control after just 2 weeks even though I used the benzoil peroxide spot treatment, and washed my face at least 3 times a day. If you check out the reviews for Clearasil products you will see that some people respond well to Salicylic Acid. My experience was exactly the opposite. I've been dealing with adult acne for many years. The 10% was one of the few products that worked despite the fact that it ruined much of my clothing. It was a trade-off I was willing to make. I am now going back to my doctor for a prescription to a 10% benzoil peroxide wash. In the meantime, buying up the only remaining bottles that I found at one drugstore in the entire city.

Pros:

Slowly gets rid of acne.

Cons:

When you first use it, it makes your face dry.

I had moderate amount of acne and this product was the only thing that worked for me. My acne is pretty much gone now. I didn't only use the face wash though, i used the lotion and the pads. it really is amazing. i get compliments about how much better my face looks now. i think everyone should really use this.
