Pros:

It doesn't dry up you skin that much

Cons:

It doesn't do any thing. I never saw any change or improvement.

This product did nothing for me. I used it when I had mild acne, and it never made a difference. I still developed pimples with the same frequency. I think that the main ingredient, salicylic acid, is an anti-inflammatory, so it probably just makes things less red for a little while, not less infected.

For Teens
Hi guys . So I have been dealing with acne since 7th grade .. It started out super light so instead of going to a dermatologist I went for the OTC medicine and this was my first acne product. I recommend this product for 13 and under who experience light breakouts. If you are 14 and up I recommend something a lot stronger !

Pros:

I used it for a couple monthes. I had a positive outlook from reviews but i guess it just didnt work for me, but it does wipe oil off so i use it after physocal activity to clean my face till i shower the oils off

Cons:

did not really change my acne or pores.

If you work out or run and sweat, this should prevent the grime from your exercise causing you to break out till you can take a shower or cleanse your face.

Good for oily skin.

Pros:

Cleared most acne
Fresh feeling
Easy to use

Cons:

Can burn
The smell

I used these when I had very oily skin. It kept my oil at bay, and made my skin feel fresh. However, now that my skin is sensitive and dry, I cannot use these. I however LOVE the Stridex brand Pads. The sensitive ones are amazing. Better than these I even think. This version did although help clear my acne on my forehead.

Pros:

-After using the pad, you see the brown dirt from your face
-Your face feels refreshed, tingly and tight
-It smells like it'll help

Cons:

-I have moderate acne skin (it gets a little worse when I'm stressed) and I used these pads for weeks, but my acne didn't clear up, or reduce. It stayed the same.

These pads are like washing your face. (But you can do that for cheaper, with a facecloth, some soap and water!)

Pros:

Occasionally clears up acne. Sometimes helps with zits that you can pop. [it makes them smaller]

Cons:

Very inconsistent. I have sensitive skin, and my skin is now EXTREMELY dry. Temporarily makes affected area redder, and sometimes burns. Has basically no affect on the kind of zits that you can't pop.

Do not use if you have sensitive skin, or at least don't use more than once daily.
