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:

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.

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:

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:

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????

Pros:

Super convenient, easy to use. Fast, portable way to use BP. Right amount of BP (2.5%) so not too drying.

Cons:

Mildly pricey. Not enough for me to stop using them though.

Just saw these for the first time a month ago. Super convenient, effective. I usually tear them in half and fold the other half in the wrapper to conserve them. Then use one in the morning and one at night.

Pros:

controls acne, packaging keeps product fresh and contaminant free, inexpensive

Cons:

packaging is wasteful, hard to find (in my area anyway), BP bleaches pillow/fabrics

I love these. I don't use the pad itself. I squeeze the medication unto my skin and rub it in. I've found it keeps acne flareups at bay without drying my face out.

Pros:

doesnt dry out skin as much as cream, very convenient! i can put it on, and since its invisible no one can notice. In addition, since you wipe your entire face with them, they help prevent bad acne before it gets worse.

Cons:

... none big enough to recall

i have been on nearly every prescription cream/gel/lotion/wash/etc. for acne and i find that these pads along with neutrogena's on the spot 2.5% bp cream and clinique's facial saop (for oily skin) have helped me more than any fancy prescription medication has. I strongly recommend the stridex pads because they complete the whole regimen...

Pros:

Works great

Cons:

None

In florida, the humidity is always so high and it's hot outside all the time. These are great because I'll put one in my pocket in the morning and halfway through the day, I'll wipe my face with it. The benzoyle Peroxide works great to kill the oil that coats my face from sweating all day
