Pros:

easy to use, no irritation at all, really really works..

Cons:

a little hard to find.. :(

this product really works...my acne is about 99.9% cleared but i was still getting stubborn breakouts but i find that bp creams 5% are too strong and irritating so i thought that the pads would rememdy that..TA DA!! not only do they work but the grooved pads help to gently exfoliate my face daily...gotta luv that! i luv that they have bp as opposed to the usual sal acid which does nuthin for my skin..i highly recommend this product

Pros:

After years of salicylic acid products doing very little to clear my adult acne I found the Power Pads. I never liked other benzoyl peroxide products as they contained a min. of 5%. These are great - easy to use and work without tearing up my face.

Cons:

Only one local drug store carries it.

It is worth the trip to purchase them and when I go I buy every box on the shelf!!!!

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:

Cleared up and helped to heal existing acne

Cons:

Wish you could get bigger sizes, like 50 instead of 28 pads...

Been having a probem with mild/moderate acne. Since summer it's like a new breakout every day. Within 2 days of using these pads, no new breakouts, small zits are gone and others are healing. Not the only thing I use, but the only thing I've started using recently so I have to think that its helping a lot. Not harsh, gentle on skin.

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:

A great BP treatment to take on your travels.

Cons:

Expensive, a lot of packaging but if used just for travel, that is actually a plus.

Not feasible for everyday use. I use either the Neutrogena On The Spot or Cleanser/Mask w/ 3% BP for everyday. But when I travel, these are a godsend. You can get a full day's use out of each pad if you wrap it in plastic.
