Pros:

Clears Acne Fast, Foams, Prevents Breakouts

Cons:

Drys skin, Burns, For me it burned the corners of my eyes

This is probably the best over the counter facial wash out there. It gets rid of all the acne extremely fast. My face has not totally cleared up yet, but most of my acne has faded. Some have completely vanished off the surface of my face. My face used to be just covered in acne (especially my forehead and right cheek), but now everything is finally going away. I have tried everything in the past with my acne but nothing really worked. No over the counter stuff. This changed my life.

Pros:

fast results, minimizes pimples, reduces redness.

Cons:

obviously dries your skin. (Duh! it's 10%)

I have used this product for three weeks and so far so good. I have noticed my acne is under control now, however not compleately gone. There was a major difference in just the first day I used this product.

Pros:

Clears up smaller stuff quickly
You can really feel it working on the acne

Cons:

It does dry, but some moisturizer will fix it
Doesn't get everything, just little whiteheads and blackheads

Totally worth the money! It helps a lot with the acne and the side effects are easily fixable.

Pros:

Works right away.
Goes on easy.
Washes off easily.
Prevents new pimples from forming.
Cheap as s***!! Get the 4 pack from amazon.

Cons:

Skin was a little dry in the colder months and a little oily now the weather is warmer. Took a little time to get rid of the pimples I already had prior to using this product but that might have been my fault.

I love this product!! Its cheap. I bought a 4 pack off of amazon for I think it was around 20 bucks. It lasted me about 8 months. It starts to work once you put it on. I stopped getting pimples but it took sometime to get rid of the ones I had. That may be because I was using it once a day so I won't overdry my face. I now wash 2x a day 6 days a week. One morning each week I use Nivea revitalizing face scrub and now my face is pimple free and smooth.

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:

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:

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.
