great at combating acne bacteria
this wash is great for combating the acne bacteria. Does dry out skin a bit but that may be what you're looking for.

for oily / combo skin
I honestly believe by the results from this product that it is for only oily/ combo skin. It could have a bad effect on sensitive and dry skin due to the fact that it dries excessively deep into the pores. For some skin it could be to strong. For oily skin like mine especially in the T zone it seems just enough strength to keep the oil balance in my skin. I would recommend it to only oily/ comb skin.

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.

Great face wash!

Pros:

Gets rid of acne-causing bacteria
Not oily or greasy

Cons:

Can bleach clothing (watch out)
Can be a bit difficult to completely wash off face

This wash is very good at getting rid of acne-causing bacteria. I've been using the 10% solution for about a year now. If you're looking for a scrub, this isn't what you need. Oxy also make a daily exfoliating scrub that can be used in conjunction with this wash. P.S. It's actually a good hair bleacher as well, I have blonde bangs now.

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.

stings a little

I had grad photos in 2 weeks and I need to get rid of a few pimples because I was not looking like a red balloon. So i picked up this product and within 2 days my acne was gone. I was impressed!

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:

-Great for acne
-Doesn't irritate the skin
-Dries out pimples

Cons:

-Smells kinda weird

If you need a benzoyl peroxide wash, get this product. At first I had some regret buying the product because I thought it was going to irritate my skin due to the "maximum strength" label. After using this a couple of weeks, I noticed that I don't get as much pimples as I did before and a lot of my redness that I had on my face has faded.
