Pros:

Doesn't dry my skin out
Easy to apply
Individually wrapped pads

Cons:

Hard to find in stores

These work! Trust me! I used to use proactive which worked for me for about 2 years, then it stopped working. It also dried my skin out and made it white. These pads are just effective if not better. They do not dry your skin out and only use 2.5 benzoyl peroxid. IF YOU HAVEN'T FOUND A ACNE SOLUTION. THIS IS IT TRUST ME!!!!!!!!

Pros:

I have had acne since I was a preteen. It started with pimples and has become unbearable breakouts every now and then. This was the only product that worked for me for three years of smooth skin and now that's it's gone my acne is back!

Cons:

Unfortunately it has been discontinued even though it has worked wonders for so many people. I cried when I realized last month that I was using up my last box.

It was the best product I've ever tried...hopefully it's just a big joke and it will be back someday.

Pros:

Keeps my son's skin pretty free of acne. Very easy to use, doesn't dry out his skin even though he plays Water Polo year round. Now he only gets a small pimple here and there.

Cons:

None

I also grabbed the last 3 boxes they had at our local CVS when they went on clearance. CVS was the only place I could ever find them. Good news is you can can still find them on the web. Amazon and [link removed] carry them, along with some other web sites. Hope this helps anyone like myself who is panicked at the thought I might not be able to find these anymore or that they have been discountinued.

Pros:

Individually wrapped. Soothing. No Sting. Large application pad with plenty of medicine on it. Affordably priced. No funky smell. Travel friendly. They seem to be working. I have been using them for 2 weeks with no side effects.

Cons:

Difficult to find. They were on clearance at my local CVS for $3.50 and I bought the last 3 boxes; on sale at my local Genuardi's for $4.99-but other than that, I can't find them. Hopefully they are not being discontinued.

I really like this product. I am in a panic as I am not sure if they are discontinuing this item. I look everywhere I shop and then clean them out of their stock.

Cons:

nonnnneeee at all

ive used these pads for like 3 months now, and theyre amazing =D i have like really oily skin so at first they just made my skin even more oily and it wasnt pretty...just really oily and gross...but i kept using them because i knew benzoyl peroxide is very effective, and i found that each day my skin got less oily and adjusted to the medication in the padsss. within about a week my skin wasnt even oily anymore and started looking really good! my acne dries out soooooo quick and then just comes off the surface of my skin like MAGIC!

Pros:

easy to use, cheap

Cons:

may dry out skin

I've been using this product for about a week now and every day I saw major improvements in my skin. I had been using salicylic acid before and switching to BP made a huge difference. It did dry out my skin a bit but a little moisturizer helped. Using one pad in the morning and one at night is saving my skin :)

Pros:

easy to use. fast. affordable. you can take it on the go. doesnt overly dry out skin. greatly reduces size of pimples and redness overnight.

Cons:

none! i love it.

i was just trying benzoyl peroxcide 10% for the longest time. and after awhile it felt like it wasnt making any difference. i heard some buzz about this product. so i tried it...the first night. oh my god. woke up and some pimples were gone. most, greatly reduced in size and redness. which is strange because its only 2.5, and it works better for my skin...hm.. the greatest part is, is that as the days go on. ive been using less and less makeup, because i dont need it. and i was one of those girls that caked on makeup to hide blemishes, NOT ANYMORE. all i get by now is with mineral face power. oh. and the smoothness. my skin feels soooo soft. i did have to go to three different places to find it, but that just means you have to buy in bulk. doesnt matter, if it keeps my skin like this its worth it.

Pros:

Clears acne (even hormonal) FAST, no redness or itching, does not dry out skin, does not smell, easy to use, exfoliates

Cons:

The pads are a little larger than needed

Oh my lord. This product is a god-send. I have been suffering from acne (mainly hormonal and/or due to stress) for years and years. I have tried all different products, prescriptions, and home remedies, and nothing has worked. These pads work!! They are amazing. I usually have lots of bumps all over my face, but I only have ONE right now. Yes, one, and that one seems to be shrinking. I absolutely cannot believe how well these work. The pads are a little large, so what I do is I cut them into 4 small squares. I use these squares at different times throughout the day. I think this helps to constantly keep the medicine on my skin. This means that I use one package a day, so the box usually lasts for 3 weeks. This technique really works and I highly suggest it to anyone suffering from acne...hormonal or not.

Cons:

Nothing really comes to mind

Well this is my 2nd month on Accutane and I think it makes my skin sensitive, and my skins been getting super red and dry/peeling bad from other products, It's really affordable and definetly worth a try.
