so much better
I have extremely sensitive skin and really bad acne. I bought this 2 weeks ago and is almost cleared up perfectly. I wash my face 2x a day and I use clear proof toner from Mary Kay and Neutrogena benzoyl peroxide the one that works in 2 hours and I use the Mary Kay clear proof moisturizer and my skin has never been better. I've had terrible acne since 7th grade and now it isn't dry and it isn't oily it feels so much better!

Pros:

IT WORKS!.
Cheap.
Clears acne over time.
Minimizes pores.
Controls oil.
Fades acne scars over time.

Cons:

Can be drying.

I've tried EVERYTHING. It took my awhile to find a good regiment for my face, a couple of hits or misses I feel this is the most important step to take to clearing up your acne. I suffer from ADULT ACNE I am 27 years old and the break outs and acne scars was just embarrassing for me I did not want to go out. I tried everything from the salicylic acid washes, to gentle washes like cetaphil, to the expensive benzoyl peroxide washes like Panoxyl, Panoxyl worked for me but it costs about $10 dollars more! I really feel this works better for me, I also tried prescription medication like Retin-a aka tretinoin which works but if you can't get an Rx this is the best alternative for ADULT ACNE like mine. I use this in combination with LEMON JUICE once or twice a week before bedtime. I've noticed my face feeling better in 3 days, lass oily face peeling which equals acne scar fading. In 2 weeks i've notice significant improvement in my face, and for real results use it for 8 weeks. Remember was only twice a day morning and night, combined with LEMON JUICE mask maybe once or twice a week, and use a gentle moisturizer during the day only when you go out, you will notice significant improvements be patient stick to the routine, it saved my social life!

Pros:

-FAST Results
-Cheap
-Gentle
-Cleared my face completely
-Not drying
-Nice Packaging
-Easy to use
-Feels clean on your skin
-Cleared my entire face in less than a week

Cons:

-The smell is different, but nothing you don't get used to.
-The consistancy is pretty liquidy but for these great results, who really cares?

I've used Clean and Clear's Acne Advantage cleanser for about 3 years now, but when I went to 4 different drug stores I came to the conclusion that it wasn't in prpuduction anymore. Well, obviously I had to find a substitute and FAST because I have just about the most sensitive, break-out prone skin in the world. I saw this in a local Grocery Store, saw it contained 10% Benzoyl Peroxide and decided to get it. Let me tell you, BEST decision I've ever made. My face is the smoothest, most radiant it's been since I was really little. I went out of the house without face makeup on for the first time in years, and felt as confident as ever. This stuff is a miracle, I absolutely love it. Honestly, I'd say to ignore the bad reviews because they're just not true. This stuff is AMAZING. I highly reccomend it.

Pros:

works well - stronger concentration of active ingredient than other more expensive items

It is an expensive, not frills competent product. I am a middle aged woman who has battled acne my entire life and this product has worked well. I rarely have a major break out or large pimple since I started using this product. Some reviewers mentioned that it dries. I am older and regularly use a moisturizer - especially since I am active ourdoors - so this has not been a problem for me at all.

Pros:

Cleared my daughters skin up so much better than other acne medications.

Cons:

Can be a bit drying so use with Olay lotion

Definitely give OXY a try for at least 2 weeks twice a day. The first dermatologist I took my daughter to wanted to put her on accutane. Being that she was 12 at the time, I had a BAD feeling about doing so. Got a 2nd opinion and the new Dr. said "Oxy 2 X per day. Give it 2 weeks and I'm sure you'll see an improvement." I'm so glad I trusted my instinct and got a 2nd opinion :)

Pros:

It works fast

This is the only facial cleanser that got rid of my acne. In less than a week I saw a big difference. This product has had a huge impact on my self esteem, I finally feel beautiful with out the acne. This is a heaven sent.

Pros:

Easy to use
Works fast - saw results within a few days
Smells good
Nice consistency - not thick and creamy
Lathers well
Rinses off easy

Cons:

Dries out skin - will need a moisturizer after each use

Definitely works. A friend of mine has been using it for awhile and I've noticed his skin getting clearer and he is pretty much completely clear now. I gave it a shot and after only using it for a week I already see results. It is drying (which is why I gave 4 stars and not 5), but not nearly as drying as the acne.org regimen if you are comparing to that. Will need to moisturize after each use, but this stuff works. I am now a big fan of Oxy. Wish I would have tried it sooner. It is the only brand available OTC that I hadn't tried I think. I definitely recommend this to anyone. You won't even need a spot treatment bp or SA if you use this wash so it saves you time as well. Not sure how it works for cysts and severe acne, but if you have light to moderate acne it should work well for you.

Pros:

Started working right away.
No smell.
Affordable.

Cons:

It does dry your skin out very easily.

I've only been using it for around three or four days now and I noticed a difference right away. I had a very painful cyst on my chin and now it's barely there. I think in another few days my skin will be clear. I do not have acne all the time, but when I break out, I break out well and all over. I'll defiantly be purchasing this again.

Pros:

I love this product! It truly does work.

I never had bad acne, just the occasional pimple. I decided to buy pro active, thinking it would eliminate the pimples I would get altogether. It made it way worse than it's ever been. I was breaking out in places on my face that I never had before ( cheeks, nose, sides of my eyebrows) After using for a month I got rid of everything pro active, but my face was super sensitive to every face wash I would use, that use to always work! For about two months I had consistently been breaking out. About a week ago I heard about oxy and decided to give it a try. It does burn at first, but that means it is working! The next day I could see a significant improvement. My face is almost completely clear again in just shy of a week of using this product! I definitely recommend it to everyone. I use it twice a day. Leave it on for 10 minutes as a mask to let it soak in. Wash with warm water then put on a face moisturizer. You WILL see quick results!
