Pros: Active ingredient effectively treats mild to moderate cases of acne.
Cons: Dries out the skin; expensive in price when compared to generic formulations.
Summary: Since my much younger teenage years began almost 20 years ago (OMG, am I REALLY that old?), I have purchased most over-the-counter acne preparations at one time or another in my quest for clear, blemish free skin. While I have never totally reached that ... read more

Pros: Is tinted, so provides great cover-up
Cons: Doesn't work overnight
Summary: I have used this product for a long time, and it has really helped. I buy the tinted one, so that it provides a good cover up if you have a large blemish. It doesn't work overnight, but after a day of two's use, usually a blemish is gone. Also, if you ... read more

Cons: Avoid touching the bottle before you apply it! Ink rubs off!
Summary: I can now admit it without embarassment: Consider me to be a former teenager still waiting for adult skin. I've tried various types of acne medications, some prescription and some over the counter, with varying degrees of results.

Pros: Does help to clear up acne. Tinted formula also acts as a cover-up.
Cons: Tends to dry out skin when used too much. Cannot be used alone.
Summary: This stuff works, and it starts to show results almost instantly. It has done wonders on my face since I started using it. I have to warn users, though. If you start to use it regularly, and then you skip an application, blemishes will pop up within ... read more

Pros: nothing
Cons: small bottle, used up quickly, expensive, didn't work
Summary: Oxy does not work at all! It is overpriced for stuff that does not work. How can such a little bottle be so expensive?

Pros: Better than normal cover up- good for all skin tones.
Cons: Doesn't work well on dry skin.
Summary: I've stopped using foundation and regular coverup since I found Oxy. It works for me all year round, no matter if my face is tan, pale, whatever. It stays on all day without making your face feel greasy. Also, it doesn't give you that dreaded fake ... read more

Pros: none for me
Cons: my emergency room bill and 2 days off from work!
Summary: It seems as if every product I grow to depend on gets discontinued. So when Oxy discontinued Nightwatch, which I'd used from age 14 to age 25, I wasn't surprised. I called Oxy to see what they recommended I use instead to control my oily skin, and they ... read more

Pros: clears up acne within days
Cons: causes drying and slight redness
