Oxy Oxy 5

I love this product, this and Oxy 10% (mainly I use 10%). benzoyl peroxide is the only thing that kills my pimples. I use 10% for spots only and occasionally 5% on the entire face.

pros:
- it really works. it makes the pimples "grow" faster and then they just fall off
- the consistence is great. it dries on the skin and you forget about. I use it in the mornings, it's invisible under the makeup. (some acne treatments are just weird - they leave greasy spot and it's impossible to use it under makeup)
- price. I buy it for 11-12 usd and it lasts for several months.

cons:
- none!

I would definitely recommend oxy 5 and oxy cover! I choose oxy 5 when I had my pimple breakout, I'm glad I choose the right brand! I also see the recovery of my pimple everyday! Now, I'm not afraid of anymore pimples Coz now I got oxy! Goodbye ugly scars and pimples🙆🏼👋🏻👋🏻. Oxy 5 is also cheep and effective! And it's a must buy!!! I strongly recommend u to this product!!! I also recommend if u see any skin about to tear, lesser the amount u applied. ;> I will also buy this product again when it runs out ;> and would also recommend this product to my friends and family!

This has never NoT worked for me. I don't have pervasive acne but the occasional breakouts due to whatever (i noticed they increased when i increased use of styling products in my hair)...also recurring acne on specific areas... Well it always soothes and clears it up within a day or two. If i use it consistently, 1ce a week or so afterwards, I need not expect the acne to return. Inexpensive and according to 'science' BP is the most effective anti-acne treatment with minimal (zero) side effects. It may help with ingrown hairs too because it goes down to the hair follicle and kills the inflammation at the very base of it, so I'll give that a go and update if it helped. It does leave a slightly chalky effect esp if overapplied, but with moisturizer and foundation on top, no worries.

This doesn't work for me but works for my brothers. On the other hand, Neutrogena on the spot works like a gem for me. The difference is startling. I know this shouldnt be a review about Neutrogena on the spot, but I would like to talk abt BP in general so you get what I'm trying to say. As most of you probably know, neutrogena on the spot contains 2.5% BP vs 5% BP in oxy 5, but it's not like oxy 5 dries me out or anything. It simply does nothing to my pimples, and ive continued using it till i finished the entire tube so i think its a pretty accurate gauge. when i made the switch to on-the-spot, my old as well as new acne just disappeared or got smaller overnight. it also worked in preventing new ones from cropping up. Therefore, I would suggest anyone who finds that oxy 5 does not work to try neutrogena on the spot, and vice versa, rather than just give up on BP altogether. Like I said, the difference in effectiveness is startling!

This is my one and only HG product!!! I love it so much. It helps me dry out my pimple. I've been using this for about 2 years now & I'm not switching to the BP 10% because I think my skin is getting immune to this. However sometimes it helps dry out my skin BUT also leaves a scar which is really annoying.... So yup I do love this product but sometimes it doesn't work on huge pimples & it leaves scars occasionally

I've been using this oxy 5 before, but it works quite well but it kind of dries you up but i've used oxy 5 with sebamed cleanser which kind of dried up your pimple (which is a good thing) but also dries up your skin (which is a bad thing) and after a while i stop using both. Then decided to go after doctor to seek advice on my acne prone skin. So the doctor decided to gave some medical treatment for my acne. Which it doesnt works on me as well. So then i decided to use cetaphil as it works on me before. Cetaphil is kind of very light liquid kind of aloe vera likes which moisturizes your skin and dried up your pimple at the same time. Then after using it 1 month after, i decided to use this oxy 5 with cetaphil. Which it works like charm!! I used it for 2 days and my pimples dried up fast, and my skin doesnt dried at all because of moisturizing effect on cetaphil. Which i recommends to buy both because both of them are affordable!!

Love the Oxy 5% BP treatment. Use it nightly :) Have repurchased over 4-5x. In canada it costs $10+ for the little tube but alas it is worth it! It has cleared up my skin unlike anything else and I have access to high end acne products... but this one stands out over many things available @ high end makeup stores.

I've been using this for over half a year. What I would comment about this is it helps in acne, but will not clear them all overnight. Afterall, this is a cheap product, the benzoyl peroxide grind is thick and is therefore harder to penetrate into the skin. It is more like forming a barrier on top of your acne to prevent further infection. If you want to get the best out of this product, I recommend you to exfoliate your skin before applying it onto your spots, this way, the benzoyl peroxide can penetrate better.

Comparison : As compared to neutrogena on the spot acne treatment that is 2.5% BP, Oxy 5 is alot stronger but it does almost the same job as the neutrogena BP but slightly lesser. Neutrogena BP gives you that overnight cure effect on your acne but the product possess alot of chemicals which are pore clogging. Therefore you may find that it cures your existing acne but overtime, there will be new acne popping up due to the product. Oxy 5 has lesser chemicals, but is not as effective as the neutrogena's BP due to the BP grind size, but you will find that it is suitable for a long term usage on your acne without causing more breakouts due to clogged pores from unnecessary chemicals.

Method: I do not recommend people applying oxy 5 in large quantity all over your face. Apply it as spot treatments only directly on spots and blend it, this is to prevent your skin from losing its natural barrier against bacteria. Using BP in large quantity all over your face will cause your skin to get used to the BP and loses its own natural barrier against bacteria and you will find it very hard to get over the BP next time as your acne will keep hitting back whenever you try to cut down on the BP.

Conclusion: good product for daily treatment of acne, not very effective, may leave a white mark on skin, recommend to use it at night before sleep.

Though in the initial stages, there was a lot of dryness and sensitivity, this is definitely a product that I will never stop buying. To simplify:
Pros: Does what it says, "kills" moderately-sized acne and dramatically reduces swelling on monster acnes overnight.
Cons: A tad drying if you use it on the same spot consecutively but that's nothing an extra strong moisturiser won't fix. (my spot-treatment regimen with Oxy and Cetaphil is just beautiful; my face has never been better)

I used to try oxy once few years back and think it didnt work for me. Then about some time ago, I watched a youtube video from gossmakeupartist about this acne curing which i have to apply lots of benzoyl peroxide on my acne. It's quite drying, i have to moisturize, But this actually works for me! Im sticking to oxy for bp cream. :D
