Pros:

actually works

Cons:

makes skin very dry
could have worked better...

Very very good for the price and definitely has saved my face on many occasions. I stopped using it for a while to try just Cetaphil and benzoil peroxide lotion, but my face exploded until i got oxy again :) still searching for the perfect cleanser, but still.

Pros:

Gets rid of the big zits that you don't want people seeing

Cons:

Makes your face kind of dry, and when you put the lotion on your face is very stiff

I just got the product a few days ago. It actually makes my skin soft, but I don't know. I have senstive skin and it makes me really red. I like it though so far. It will take my skin some getting used to. Oxy was a top choice on Good Morning America and I feel it can work it will just take time.

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.
