Pros:

Keeps my son's skin pretty free of acne. Very easy to use, doesn't dry out his skin even though he plays Water Polo year round. Now he only gets a small pimple here and there.

Cons:

None

I also grabbed the last 3 boxes they had at our local CVS when they went on clearance. CVS was the only place I could ever find them. Good news is you can can still find them on the web. Amazon and [link removed] carry them, along with some other web sites. Hope this helps anyone like myself who is panicked at the thought I might not be able to find these anymore or that they have been discountinued.

Pros:

I have rosacea with acne bumps and the power pads worked extremely well. I have been searching desparately to find anywhere that sells the Power Pads any more. I would always buy in bulk so I just recently ran out and was shocked to find that they appear to have been discontinued I have tried other Benzoyl products but the pads were the best. I agree, BRING THEM BACK

They work!

Pros:

easy to use, cheap

Cons:

may dry out skin

I've been using this product for about a week now and every day I saw major improvements in my skin. I had been using salicylic acid before and switching to BP made a huge difference. It did dry out my skin a bit but a little moisturizer helped. Using one pad in the morning and one at night is saving my skin :)

Pros:

Clears acne (even hormonal) FAST, no redness or itching, does not dry out skin, does not smell, easy to use, exfoliates

Cons:

The pads are a little larger than needed

Oh my lord. This product is a god-send. I have been suffering from acne (mainly hormonal and/or due to stress) for years and years. I have tried all different products, prescriptions, and home remedies, and nothing has worked. These pads work!! They are amazing. I usually have lots of bumps all over my face, but I only have ONE right now. Yes, one, and that one seems to be shrinking. I absolutely cannot believe how well these work. The pads are a little large, so what I do is I cut them into 4 small squares. I use these squares at different times throughout the day. I think this helps to constantly keep the medicine on my skin. This means that I use one package a day, so the box usually lasts for 3 weeks. This technique really works and I highly suggest it to anyone suffering from acne...hormonal or not.

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:

Everything about this product is wonderful!!

Cons:

They got rid of it!

This is the number one product to keep skin clear. Discontinuing this item was a horrible decision. It works better than any other acne product out there and the best part is it's over the counter. Please bring it back!!!! I would pay anything!!!!!

Pros:

easy to use. fast. affordable. you can take it on the go. doesnt overly dry out skin. greatly reduces size of pimples and redness overnight.

Cons:

none! i love it.

i was just trying benzoyl peroxcide 10% for the longest time. and after awhile it felt like it wasnt making any difference. i heard some buzz about this product. so i tried it...the first night. oh my god. woke up and some pimples were gone. most, greatly reduced in size and redness. which is strange because its only 2.5, and it works better for my skin...hm.. the greatest part is, is that as the days go on. ive been using less and less makeup, because i dont need it. and i was one of those girls that caked on makeup to hide blemishes, NOT ANYMORE. all i get by now is with mineral face power. oh. and the smoothness. my skin feels soooo soft. i did have to go to three different places to find it, but that just means you have to buy in bulk. doesnt matter, if it keeps my skin like this its worth it.

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.
