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:

Very gentle form of Benzoyl Peroxide, will clear skin wonderfully if the main concern is a build up of bacteria.

Cons:

May lose effectiveness after long term usage, makes skin sensetive to sunlight.

I have had very mild to moderate acne since I was about 12 and came across Proactive when I was 16. That only worked for a few years before it started to actually hurt my skin. So I found these little pads with the same active ingredient, Benzoyl Peroxide, and they worked wonders! These pads don't dry out skin, gentle, work well after a gentle face wash, some may need a lotion afterwards.

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:

easy to use, portable

Cons:

not strong enough, small wipes

may work for you if your skin responds to 2.5%BP but its just not strong enough for me I guess. Wipes are only big enough for your faces theyre too small for any other part of your body like the neck or shoulders.

Pros:

Convenience factor - it's very easy to use every day, even on vacation. 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide is very effective for me, but not irritating.

Cons:

Somewhat expensive. Lots of trash with all the wrappers - seems somewhat wasteful.

I followed the regimen exactly for a while, but I switched over to using these pads and still have clear skin (over 2 years now). The convenience factor has made it easy enough to stick to a daily routine, without exceptions - I believe I've skipped less than 3 nights in the last year. These pads are sometimes hard to find, but I have a couple local stores that always have them in stock.

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:

conveinent, leaves skin nice and and cool

Cons:

not as effective as a cream and a bit pricey. and i think it leaves a film on your skin, but it's pretty much invisible so w/e

every other week in PE i have to run a mile. after the mile my face is just dripping with sweat, so i use one of the pads to wipe my face. the smell takes time to get used to, but it leaves your skin nice and cool. i believe this wards off pimples that are just cropping up from the surface, but not too effective on pimples that have already shown themselves.
