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:

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:

Use it once a day, and it cleared up my acne in a couple weeks. But only use once a day.

Cons:

Only available at my local CVS

Great product. Good for anyone who is tired of trying every new product on the market. Works way better than salicylic acid treatments.

Pros:

A great BP treatment to take on your travels.

Cons:

Expensive, a lot of packaging but if used just for travel, that is actually a plus.

Not feasible for everyday use. I use either the Neutrogena On The Spot or Cleanser/Mask w/ 3% BP for everyday. But when I travel, these are a godsend. You can get a full day's use out of each pad if you wrap it in plastic.

Pros:

After years of salicylic acid products doing very little to clear my adult acne I found the Power Pads. I never liked other benzoyl peroxide products as they contained a min. of 5%. These are great - easy to use and work without tearing up my face.

Cons:

Only one local drug store carries it.

It is worth the trip to purchase them and when I go I buy every box on the shelf!!!!

Pros:

very nice stuff. Easy to use, has results. For on the go. More effective than creams (dont know why, just is). Dosn't feel heavy like creams. Feels so cool and refreshing.

Cons:

Pricey for how much you get. To pricey to use regularly.
Drying, you may need moisturizer.
Bleaches! This is why I hate BP in general, over time I notice that my hair line has become lighter (sometimes very noticeable), but don't worry...

Should come in one of those screw on stridex tubs. For mild acne, or people on the go with bad acne. Great for planes, trains, you name it. Even for school, great for school. Pop into the bathroom if you feel a breakout coming on, and your good to go for a good 4 hours. Good before sports practice, like football. I again wish, they had something that was cheaper and came with more wipes. I would use this exclusively once I get off accutane (good stuff, real good stuff) if it was cheaper. good stuff overall highly recommend. VERY VERY VERY VERY HARD TO FIND, cant find anywhere as of now... discontinued????
