Pros:

Cleared up acne to begin with
Cheap

Cons:

Bleached my clothes
Dries up quickly
Stings if you start to sweat
Stopped working after a few months

Very good to begin with but stopped working after a few months. It might work for some people so give it a try. It does bleach clothes so wash your hands after using it! Not a bad product really but it's not a long term solution.

Pros:

it works ok

Cons:

doesn't dry clear

I says that it dries clear but it doesn't. it dries white so don't put it on if you're going out. This is ONLY for spot treatments though. do not use it on your whole face. The people that gave it bad reviews on here probably used it on their whole face but this is only to treat individual pimples. also, some people are allergic to benzoyl peroxide which is in this, though it is very uncommon. this product works ok, but OXY does make a cleanser wash also with 10% benzoyl perokide which works GREAT. i totally recommend the wash. not so much this spot treatment stuff. try the regime. it is the best thing i've ever tried. it will definitely work WAY better than this product.

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:

it's available everywhere

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.

Pros:

Oxy rid me of a severe patch of cystic acne in days.

Cons:

It left me with a rough, oozing rash that hurt more than the acne, and after three days, I'm still waiting for that to go away.

If you're sure that your skin isn't sensitive, try it - it does work. However, if your skin is the least bit sensitive, you may end up worse than you started.

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.
