Pros:

Cleared up and helped to heal existing acne

Cons:

Wish you could get bigger sizes, like 50 instead of 28 pads...

Been having a probem with mild/moderate acne. Since summer it's like a new breakout every day. Within 2 days of using these pads, no new breakouts, small zits are gone and others are healing. Not the only thing I use, but the only thing I've started using recently so I have to think that its helping a lot. Not harsh, gentle on skin.

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:

Visibly reduces acne in one night. very easy to use. Saves me a lot of time and trouble.

Cons:

Because they're benzoyl peroxide, they might turn your clothes orange, but i havent noticed anything yet. Im just really careful about using them.

Love this product, the only thing ive found that will visibly reduce acne in one night and rapidly over a few days. I use these wipes after a makeup removing cloth and start to break out when i dont use them. I started using them when i ran out of proactiv and found that they worked really well. Now i use these on the nights i dont use proactiv and the combination has really helped my skin clear up.

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

Pros:

Works very well for what is supposed to do. Does not dry out skin.

Cons:

A little pricey, but hey, beauty aint free.

This stuff work great. One when I wake up, one after school. This stuff will work for you as long as it is used with other treatments. Also useful for trips or sleepovers where you can just stick one or two packets in your pocket and use it for later. Or when you have a particuarly bad acne day at school, you can go into the bathroom and use one. Use other meds, like dan kern's stuff and some 10% spot treatment, and some .5% Oxy Sailyic Pads

Pros:

Works fast and works great! Made my skin clear in just 2 days.

Cons:

NONE!

This product cleared up all my acne; old and new. I'm completely amazed that my skin was clearer than ever in just the first 2 days of use. Trust me, I've tried EVERYTHING... nothing would clear my acne. But now with the power pads, all my acne scars are gone too. I've tried tons of products with benzoyl peroxide but nothing was as successful as this product. I would recommend this product to EVERYONE!
