Pros:

dries up pimples, keeps pimples away, reduces oil (at least for me)

Cons:

none except you cant go out in the sun without a sunscreen but i guess you should always wear sunscreen. some peoples faces might get red and dry for the first week but it goes away.

best face wash i think. i usually get oily within 2-3 hours now it takes about 6-8 hours and its only a little oily.

Good but....

Pros:

Nice smell
Easy application

Cons:

Too harsh on dry skin

This was good. I used this along with their facial pads. I don't know if it was because of that combo, or my dry prone skin, but my face just gets sooo dry.

Pros:

it has freaking 10% benzoyl peroxide so of course it will be effective.
you see results immediately.
its cheap

Cons:

the packaging makes it look like its a men's shampoo or something
2 days after i used oxy, my face got extremely bumpy and irritated from the high dosage of benzoyl peroxide.

i started breaking out insanely this summer so i started using oxy and after about 2 days, my face got really bumpy and gross but i alternated using oxy with cetaphil, which is suuuuper gentle. my face cleared up so quickly but i have some scars where my pimples used to be :/ i recommend this for people who have oily skin and occasional pimples. DONT GET THIS if you have normal or dry skin, or you only get pimples once or twice a month. its going to be wayyy too strong for your complexion and end up ruining it.

Pros:

Clears acne well and pretty quick results

Cons:

makes skin dry

I used to breakout real bad and couldn't find a good face wash, and my cousin had told me about OXY so I tryed it. In about a week I was pleased with the results it gave me. I have oily skin so I kind of have to keep up with washing or else... it does make my face a bit dry, but overall i get pleased with the results.

Pros:

it works well, and revives my skin from acne or pimples quickly.

Cons:

it does dry my skin out a bit, but wetting my face after use helps me.

this is a great product and it does work, it may not for everyone but i would say at least 90% of the people out there. IT WORKS!!!!!

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.
May 13, 2009

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.

Pros:

cleared up my acne quickly, almost overnight. it's amazing.you don't need to use a lot so one bottle should last you a while.

Cons:

left my skin a little dry. it burned a little when i first started using it, but i have sensitive skin and the effects stopped after a few days. also the packaging is a little manish. i thought it was a men's product when my sister first go it for me

i like it. it works better than clean and clear.if u have sensitive skin, be careful, but that goes for anything.
