Pros:

Very effective! Quick results and they also exfoliate! Yaaay!

Cons:

There's too few in one box.

basically, they work very well. And very quickly. But you need to keep rebuying them fairly often. It's no big deal they. They only cost $5-6.

Pros:

Works really good, gets rid of acne fast, feels nice on your skin, exfoliates as well

Cons:

None, except that this product is hard to find--had to order online

Out of all the benzoyl peroxide products out there this is definitely the best one I've used.

Pros:

clears up acne amazingly.cheap for a little box of 78 pads. clears up acne in weeks while ordering products such as proactive,neutrogena, clean and clear, promise to clear in months.

Cons:

no cons(:

buy it..really..it works wonders..u have to remember that it WILL get better, but right after you wash ur face if its REALLY red and worse that it was just before you washed it that it doesnt mean its getting worse, its just slightly irrtant to ur skin but wont harm it, ur face will go back to normal after minutes.dont overuse.i know this sounds stupid and ur always thinking, so what if its dry,the point is to get rid of the oil right?why would that make it worse?.butttt i guess from so much research u might as well just listen.so just use it maybe 3 times a day, thats what i do and it works wonders. i know it sounds WAY too good to be true, i mean, cmon,an over the counter product, working better than a dermetologist recommended treatment?...but it REALLY works better..and ive used some of the top of the line products.oh and also remember, it HAS to get better before it gets worse..so right after u wsh it, it WILL be kinda red, but itll go away within minutes like i said before

Pros:

I have struggled with acne my whole life: been on everything imaginable, including Accutane twice! Nothing has ever worked. I started using these pads 2 years ago, and I swear they were made for my skin. My skin has been PERFECT ever since.

Cons:

I have no cons, seriously, these pads are a dream come true. I am obsessed. If i feel a blemish coming on, I just wipe it once with the pad, and it disappears. Dont give up hope if nothing has worked for you, try these pads!

These are great for when you come home late from going out and are too lazy to wash your face. Just wipe off your face (i use Ponds clean sweep, also amazing) and then follow up with Stridex Power Pads. I haven't had a zit since I started using these (2 years ago!!!!), something I never though possible for me! They work on blackheads, whiteheads, everything. I wipe my whole face with them to prevent anything from popping up, but you can also spot treat. They are so easy to use!! The pads are really big too, so if i just use a corner to spot treat, I fold up the pad and seal it in its little wrapper again so that I don't waste it. I can not thank Stridex enough for making these, they are literally a life saver. I feel so confident now not having to worry about my skin. I know that as long as I am taking care of my skin by using these, I will look flawless. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please never stop making them!

Pros:

Exfoliates, cleans up acne really well, good for getting the dirt and oil off your skin.

Cons:

Can only find it at one grocery store in my area.

I brought these by chance about two years ago and I love them. My only problem is where I go to school they work amazingly but when I go home to Florida they don't seem to work anymore, my face will break out like crazy.

Pros:

clears acne exfoliates easy to use no washing

Cons:

wasteful packaging

this is a great product which is better than dans regimen doesnt take long to apply and clears acne
June 18, 2008

Pros:

Convenient, easy to carry, easy to apply

Cons:

None for this purpose

I get a very nasty acne-like heat rash on my face, neck, and chest in our hot humid climate. Until I found these pads, the only way to prevent it was to not spend any time outside, which was not practical for a golfer. I use a pad before going out, put on sunscreen, use a pad after activity, and another one at night. This year, I've had only minimal breakouts.

Pros:

clears up and prevents acne, big pad, individually rapped

Cons:

expensive for only 14 days worth, when you moisturize it clumps up and looks like you have flaky skin, can be drying for those with drier skin, smell can be strong

The thing is, it works just as well as dan's bp treatment, except the fact that it clumps when you moisturize or wear makeup. Also, gels/creams are better than pads because you can see where you are going and know how much meds you are putting on your face. i would say if you were going to use either or, use a 2.5 bp gel or cream :) The only con about using the gel/cream is that it takes several minutes to rub in.
