Pros:

It is very cheap compared to other brands on the market. It does dry up pimples quickly. Worked for the first week.

Cons:

Seemed to stop working after a while. Very, very irritating despite the small amount I used. Acne got worse.

It seems that it works particularly well for more severe cases of acne, but in my situation I only had mild/light acne and using such a harsh irritant made mine worse. I would keep a spare tube around for spot-treating those ridiculously annoying pimples that other products cannot seem to clear. If you have mild/light acne, or sensitive/normal/combination skin, do not smear this all over your face. And if you do decide to use it, make sure you have a very good moisturiser.

Pros:

It cleared up a few pimples overnight.

Cons:

It doesnt work on large amounts of acne. Which a lot of us have.

If you need a quick acne fix, use it. But if you have bad acne all over your face, choose a different product.

Pros:

Works!

Cons:

Dries out your skin, but only if you slather it on. All BP bleaches stuff :(

This was cheap (it goes on sale for less than $4 sometimes) and works well. It drys my skin out when I put it on by itself like you are supposed to, but I mix a pea-sized amount in with my moisturizer and it seems to work just as well and doesn't make my face feel like it's made of stone. The biggest downside is remembering to use a white towel after I wash it off my hands because it WILL bleach towels and clothes, even after it has been soaped off. I have tried a bunch of expensive stuff and this is just as good if not better. If creams/lotions/gels never do anything for you it's time to go on oral meds anyway (Your skin is always clearer even after you stop taking them, at least in my experience). Minocycline worked for me and Accutane for my BF.

Pros:

Works good as a spot treatment. Pretty cheap, too.

Cons:

Doesn't work well on clearing your whole face. It smells bad a little and it deffinetley doesn't drie lear even though it says it does.

I think that Oxy is a good, cheap product for clearing up single pimples but not your whole face. It smells but not really strong. Doesn't dry clear so I suggest using it before bed.

Pros:

Cons:

it worsened my acne.

after trying this for a week, my acne started to clear up. after using this for two months, my acne came back with a vengence. i'm glad it's worked for everyone else though! and based on the reviews i would probably reccomend it.
