I have never written a review in my life but I am shocked at how amazing this product is.
I have very oily skin which was covered in spots - and they would not heal.
After using this product once - literally in 10minutes you can already see results. I have now been using it for 3 days and my face is COMPLETLEY clear - better than when I was younger. There is no other product like it - for only £5 in boots!!!! you will not regret buying this!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAMMAZING!

Excellent. Dries up those zits, sadly the chin ones are harder to get rid of. For better results, use day and night.

I've been using this stuff since I was a teen for the occasional breakout. I would never use this on my entire face, because it is extremely drying, but it works better than anything else I've found for spot treating pimples. There are other brands that have the same concentration of benzoyl peroxide, but for some reason, none of them have ever worked as well for me. I have noticed with some previous tubes/bottles (packaging has changed over the years) that it can get an odd smell if it gets old, but I don't notice that it affects the product negatively.

* in canada, the highest concentration allowed is 5% so if you happen to be visiting in the states and don't want to deal with prescription treatments back in canada, you can try grabbing this at drugstores!
* GREAT for spot-treating.
* loved this as a teenager. now, in my 20's, i keep this in the medicine cabinet just to whip out when i get the odd zits. still good.
* something more moisturizing (but a lower equivalent concentration of another acne-fighting medicinal ingreadient) might be the neutrogena "oil-free acne stress control 3-in-1 hydrating acne treatment" - that uses 2% salicylic acid instead.

This is my holy grail acne fix. I suffer from adult acne, and have been for a few years. When I discovered this, I was abit scared to try it as most of the review I read said that it dried them out. So i tried a patch and found that my spots decreased over night. Now I use it every other day, and LOVE it. the number of spots has decreased, and I can tell the difference when I dont use it. I would love to stop using the benzoyl peroxide on my face, but if I dont use this I break out. I have brought many tubes and just love it. It hasnt dried out my skin one bit, because I use a great moisturiser. But I do have to say that if you apply too much it leaves you looking pasty and white as it can be hard to blend. So I would recommend that you use it only in the night.

If you get one thing from this review it is do NOT, i repeat NOT go putting this all over your face after you pass the allergy test. I did the test on my wrist, nothing , it was fine . I continued to use it for 4 days on my forehead then suffered a horrible allergic reaction for a week, now 2 weeks after it died down ( it was ugly , my whole face swelled up ), I have a scar on my forehead, I can't imagine what I would've done if I had used this all over my face. Please PLEASE use it on a little area first before you put it all over your face.

This is cheap, effective and my alternative to Proactiv's repairing lotion. I have spent a fortune on Proactiv over the past few years and wished i discovered Oxy10 much quicker. Do not buy Oxy5 or Oxyaction, it does not work as well as this. This is more concentrated with the active ingredient, and i highly recommend this as a spot treatment.

I used to use it only on pimples and it worked fairly well, but when I tried using it on the whole face ( as prevention or whatever ), I had pimples on my cheeks though they used to appear only on the t- zone... Then I read somewhere that for teens, we shouldn't put too much of these stuff coz our face might react to this and produce even more oil D:
I still use it, occasionally, so just b careful :)

I tried this after youtuber gossmakeup did a video on how good this stuff is. And after trying it out myself, I can agree that this is amazing stuff! It is cheap, easy to find, and works so quick. I am in my late 20's and was still getting allot of acne. but once I started using this I rarely have a pimple. I don't even have to use it very often anymore because my skin is so clear. Only thing it doesn't clear up is blackheads. At least not in my experience. I recommend this to everyone.

I recently broke out on my chin and neck so I started using this 3 days ago at night and most of it is gone already. I just dabbed it on and then washed off in the shower when I woke up. Before I used to use the clean and clear one but it was expired because I haven't used it in forever, so I picked this up and it works so much better and faster than the other brand I was using. Now I remember why I used to use this as a teen. It's cheap and it works.

Love it. It's cheap and it works, unlike most higher end products. Like Oxy 5, dab it onto your spots to get a quick result.

great product with the average teenager who has acne and pimples :D

This product was okay, it cleared my my occasional acne, but I mean it's an acne cream I guess it just did what it was supposed to do. It would take some time for it to work though, and I DO NOT rub it in as I realized it works slower or something when I do that. I just dot on the acne, and I have this huge pimple on my nose, I rub it in the first time ( I applied 2 times lol) and the second time, I just dab it on and realized my pimple size decreased and it decreased much faster. Does that make sense?
I would buy it because it's the only inexpensive acne treatment I know hehe /=

I like this. I bought it when my usual 10% benzoyl peroxide cream was sold out (the store brand, lol). This was also a little more bang for my buck than the Clean & Clear version, I think, but it works, and that's what counts.
I use it to spot, or cover areas as needed (like my forehead whenever I have bangs) at night. If I'm having a nasty pimple, then I'll use it during the day but rub in until it's clear. I can use makeup like normal. It can be drying so make sure to have a good moisturizer for the next morning. continued >>

I have been using OXY10 for years, it's the best - i have even turned my boyfriend on to it! I use it only as a 'spot treatment' meaning i don't apply it all over my face (as this would just dry my skin out) i just dab it on the problem areas.
*IMPORTANT- make sure you have white pillow cases etc as this will bleach your bedding and towels and wash your hands straight after use.
I use this at night or if i have huge blind pimple i will apply over that during the day as well. Works like magic :)

I put this a few times and it did not work.

they don't sell this anymore.

Inexpensive blemish product that works if used regularly.

I use this every night after I wash and moisturize my face. I use it not only as a spot treatment, but as a preventative measure to keep future outbreaks at bay. I have not noticed it to be drying as some users have mentioned, but I have fairly resilient skin. People with sensitive skin can use it every other night to reduce drying. The only downsides I can think of is that it doesn't quite dry "clear" - it leaves a white film on my skin (which is why I only use it at night!) and it is difficult to get the cream out when the tube is almost gone - I cut the end of the tube and scrape out what's left. If only acne maintenance could be more glamorous! :-)

Somehow, acne treatments never work well for me. They'd work on the first or second application and after that it would just have no effect on me. But not for this treatment. It worked throughout. I have dry, sensitive skin and sometimes gets spots. For me, I have to be careful to not apply too much or else it would worsen my dry skin and eczema. I will continue to repurchase this over and over again. Best thing is that it's cheap.
