Awesome!
I love this product! It really helps heal the blemishes and my pimples. I had been using many different products but none of them really worked for me. I could see the difference in my skin after using it just for a few days. It does dried out my face but it helped dried out and kill all the pimples. I only used it on my cheeks where I had many pimples and black scars. My skin looks a lot clearer now. I don't know what my skin type is but in my life I had never found any product that would help heal my dirty face. Then I found this! I would love to encourage everyone to at least try it because I know how people felt when dealing with an awful face. I had really low self-esteem but now I'm happy everyday for my face. My last suggestion is that when using it try to avoid your lips too because it can dry them out. And after using it you can use a moisturizer for your drying skin and you will be all good. I use jergens by the way. Thank you and I wish you all good luck!

Pros:

Doesn't smell
Haven't noticed any bleaching?
Cleared Acne. Stopped new Acne.

Cons:

none.

This stuff saved my life guys. Please try it. Before half the bottle was gone my acne was no more. I say thanks to one of the reviewers below who really made me by this. Without his review i wouldn't have given this product a chance. My story: Suffering for 6 years. Tried EVERYTHING but accutane. I had given up hope. I used to think how I didn't want to die and people see my funeral and say "look at his face..." I also didn't want my kids in the future to say whats wrong with daddys face? Yeah i was messed up... Pretty tough skin. I can handle Benzoil peroxide and salicylic acid no problem. Like his review says....use it for about 10 mins- less started off and work ure way up to 10 mins. Unlike him i use salicylic acid first to get rid of the pimples i already had and to open up my pores and clean them out good and get them ready for this stuff. Then I immediately use this OXY stuff. I also only use this about every 16-20 hours. he stated he needed to use it twice a day... I also used AHA souffle from alpha hydrox to get rid of the red marks faster. My face is 98 percent clear and once my hyperpigmentation goes away i will me 99 percent clear. Thanks to everyone and this board for helping me for over 3 years. Just bought the 4 pack from Amazon for 20 dollars :) Good luck to you all. Never give up.

Pros:

clears up skin fast and after first wash you can feel it working!
helps reduce oils if you have oily skin like me
cheap and easy to get
doesnt smell bad
nice lather

Cons:

dries out skin MAJORLY!!
use moisturizer if skin is sensitive to benzyl peroxide!
after awhile stops working as good if washed more than three times a day
makes skin burn easier if in the sun a lot like me and can cause sensitivity
peeling and itching may occur also
DONT OVER USE!!!!

it is a good, cheap, over the counter product to use if you have light, moderate, to moderatly severe acne and are not sensitive to the BP. make sure to use a good moisturizer, such as olay or cetaphil, though, or your face will dry out and peel. i reccoment using the cleansing pads and spot treatment. best of luck to those of you who try this! :-)

Pros:

It reduces acne size
It lightens acne scars
It prevents new acne from growing
It's suitable for oily skin (mine is oily/acne prone skin)

Cons:

It may be stingy and at times it irritates the skin especially during a hot day (well, it's hot every day in my country :p) and in contrast, it may also not suitable to be used during cold weather because it will make the skin too dry. But it's still recommended though.

I've been using this face wash for one year and three months already and quite satisfied after using two bottles. It was my dermatologist who recommended this brand to me as you can say that I'm a very acne prone skin and my face used to be insulted everywhere as I had severe acne on my whole face which was embarrassing. My face used to be very oily but now it's better. The only problem I'm having now is just that I don't know how to tighten my enlarged pores caused by my acne before. But overall, oxy is the best acne cure I've found so far.

Pros:

-very cheap and gentle
-doesn't leave a residue like cream BP
-cleans makeup off just fine
-doesn't make my skin dry
-doesn't make me sensitive to sun
-cleared bacne quickly (2 weeks)
-doesn't bleach my towels
-slowly has been clearing me up (6-7 weeks)

Cons:

-very liquidy, so it leaks when you open it.. just always keep the bottle upsidedown and it's fine
-has taken 6-7 weeks to really clear me up
-purging process gave me some cystic acne

my acne progressivey got worse my first year of college despite constant exercise and a vegetarian diet. so I started using oxy in conjunction with ortho tri-cyclen lo birth control as a dermatologist's recommendation. so does it work? yes! with patience and a good toner and moisturizer i'm finding that my skin is clearing up (almost perfect now!) and everywhere on my face i have improvement. because of the purging process i had, not only pimples, but all of my blackheads are disappearing. I noticed almost every pore of mine became a small blackhead that i could either squeeze out, or let become a zit. even those stubborn ones on my lip-line are gone! though i really hated getting more acne before seeing results. it forced every pore on my face to get rid of everything- but since i've had a zit there, that patch of skin has remained beautifully clear. that's the best way to explain it. i definitely wanted to give up on it after 3 weeks when it only seemed to make me worse though. and it does very little for the red marks left after acne, so treat those however you usually do. and clay masks work very well after washing with this stuff. leave them on overnight and you'll notice a big difference. also, on my back, with daily use, i had no purging process, and it cleared completely after two weeks. i love that because it's bikini season, b*tches! lasty, i want to mention that it has changed my skintype. i've always been very dry and using topical BP. since switching to a wash, my skin is more normal or even a bit oily sometimes. which i actually appreciate! no more flakes! and if i forget lotion, i'm not royally screwed. so OVERALL for those SKIMMING reviews.. yes, this will definitely help, but be patient. it's helping a lot more than topical BP, especially now with prevention. though for me it wasn't quite as fast as everyone else who's reviewing this. the most important part is to realize you have to judge

Pros:

THIS STUFF WORKS. i'm asian, and i have oily, acne-prone skin. I've used everything, literally. I've been depressed over my acne, and this stuff WORKS. There's slight drying, but it WORKS. Trust me, my acne has improved and i've had optimal results. It's great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cons:

initial drying towards the beginning of use, but your skin will adapt to it and the conditions will alleviate

If you have acne and you're struggling with it, GET THIS . 10% Benzoyl Peroxide, hands down.......it works. Miracle in a bottle.

Pros:

More affordable than Proactive, but works just as well. I have used it for the last 5yrs. and reasonably blemish free.

Cons:

wish there was a scrub choice to work out blackheads.

Benzoil Peroxide washes are the only that work for me. After 20yrs of going to acne doctors, this is the only OTC wash worth buying. I literally have tried them all!
