I finally found it!

Pros:

Deep cleaning
Works Fast
Doesn't overdry

Cons:

Kinda smells like cauliflower lol

All throughout puberty I had AWFUL acne. I tried a bunch of different products and all of them were either to harsh on my skin or wouldn't clean it up enough. When I found this product, I almost didn't try it because it looked like a boy face wash (dumb I know) but I was desperate so I tried everything. And this was the one! Using it morning and night, it cleared up my skin in like TWO WEEKS and now I never break out! On my period I will have like 1 or 2 zits but that's it! It's an amazing product!

Excellent - Ance gone in days and Redness has vanished

Pros:

No redness and irratation
most of my acne was gone in three days
gets rid of acne scars too

Cons:

i dont know if i got an older version of this product or what, but it smells absolutely terrible.

I have had acne since the fifth grade, i guess i was an early starter.. Going into my junior year of high school I got tired of always wearing makeup. It was never my color and it looked weird anyways. So i tried oxy face wash and in the three days that i have used it, 80% of my acne is gone and most of my acne scars along with it! I am so happy. But the best part is that i no longer have to wear makeup because all of the redness from my acne is now gone! I couldnt be happier. a bunch of people say that it is a little drying, and it is, but for me it hasnt been an issue. It keeps the oil from my face longer than if it hadnt been drying. I am estatic with the results, and i recommend everyone use this product!

Pros:

This product has literally cured my ten year struggle with moderate persistent acne. I no longer have to wear makeup or acne night creams, my skin just stays clear. I use it twice a day. I saw results within the second week of usage. Amazing!

Cons:

Had a bit of dry skin one day but nothing major

Buy it and use it.

AN AMAZING PRODUCT
I suffered from slight acne on my cheeks but nothing was helping to clear my face. I tried 5% oxy, 10%oxy, avene treatments but nothing worked like this $6 product. I have been using it for the past 2 months every night and my skin has definitely shown improvements. It is not completely clear yet as i am still dealing with hyperpigmentation marks but this facewash is helping with that as well! I read some reviews that said it caused dryness but personally, this was never the case, in fact, my skin felt smoother and more moist. Oily skin is now a concern for me! This is an amazing product but they don't ship it to Asia so i hope they ship it soon!

Pros:

Works extremely well
Easy to use
Cheap

Cons:

If you let it get into your hair, it will start to bleach it a blondish color, but by wrapping a towel around your hair or just being carful its easy to prevent

i used this product, along with Oxy Pads, for months and never had any acne problems, maybe an occasional pimple here or there but nothing serious or unmanagable, then the local store stopped selling this product and i had to try other things, i still used the pads but not the wash.. and bam my face broke out like never before and left some bad marks, so i went on a crazy search and eventually found it at a walgreeens that i normally dont go to.. its been a few days since getting back and im already seeing improvments

Pros:

Clears up face, keeps face from oiling up all day.

Cons:

It can ruin your towels if you don't rinse it off completely. It can also bleach your clothes and hair if you let it sit for too long. RINSE!!

I have had acne issues for YEARS. I've used everything from organic acne products, to high quality products such as Proactive. After finally breaking down and going to the doctor about, I was started on a prescription acne treatment, with the active ingredient being 10% benzyl peroxide. One day the pharmacy was out of the prescription I needed (yea...great) so I decided to go to the store to see if they have anything with benzyl peroxide. I found oxy, noticed it had the same amount as my prescription, and bought it. After maybe a week to two weeks, it completely cleared me up. It even keeps my T-zone from oiling up throughout the day. I use it in the morning and at night, and yes it does dry your face out, but using a light moisturizer after washing your face is all it takes. I use to get massive pimples on my chin, and nothing would get rid of them. The painful ones with nothing in them. Yea, those suck. I never get those anymore. I can't remember the last time I've had one. For my face, it took that amount of benzyl peroxide. Neither 5%, or salycic acid works for me. Everybody's face is different, so if you are in the same boat as I was and have tried everything it seems, give this a shot. It's cheap, so what's to loose?

Pros:

CLEARS BACK ACNE FAST!!

Cons:

Didn't see any results on my face

I have had bad back acne since puberty hit. I am now 23 and for the first time my back is cleared up! I have tried every possible acne soap on the market and decided one day to pick up the Oxy 10%BP....Within 3 days my back acne was almost clear. It helped clear up the light red scars I also had on my back from old pimples. It is a little drying..not the the point where your back is flaking but just a little more rough than other skin on the body. Either way GIVE IT A TRY!!! I stopped using it for a week since I ran out and my acne reappeared...once I used it again...GONE! The white liquid soup seems a bit watery and not think like other soaps but don't let that fool you.

Pros:

I like using this wash. Yes, it is strong, but if you have an oily face it makes it normal while keeping acne away. No fragrance!

Cons:

Dryness

I've used this for a week and 1/2 and have had nothing but stellar results. It has dried up existing acne and is keeping my face clearer than I have been in over a year. I'm going to continue to use! Try it, you don't have anything to lose!

Pros:

It started clearing up my skin after the first day.

Cons:

No it dosen't dry up your skin, not mine atleast.

A must have product, no doubt about it. If you want to clear your skin a much cheaper way instead of expensive Neutrogena and Proactive kits, GET OXY!!!!!!!!

Pros:

Very effective at drying out spots and preventing new ones from appearing. It makes my skin look smooth and soft too. I used to suffer from cystic acne. Now, I'm using Oxy 10 and taking the pill and I'm pimple-free.

Cons:

As others have said it can be drying, so use a moisturiser with SPF during the day. Once your skin develops tolerance you shouldnt get redness or flaking anymore. It can take a while to get used to it, but I think it's well worth it ultimately.

Definitely one of the best acne-treatments I have ever tried. I won't stop using it. It's affordable and because it's an antiseptic and not an antibiotic, your skin bacteria doesn't get resistant to it. I love it.
