Oxy Soothing Cream Acne Cleaner with Benzoyl Peroxide and and Prebiotics

 My second tube of this- I bought this before I learned my lesson of just buying one to try and if I really like it, I can repurchase it. I finally used up the first tube and I'm working on the second tube now. I'll probably have this one for around two years if not more because I barely use it. 

Oxy claims:

Active Ingredient: Benzoyl peroxide 10%

Size: 5 fl oz


I haven't used anything from this brand since at least high school. I remember they used to make the little acne treatment pads. I loved those. Back then it used to keep spots at bay as well as make my skin smoother and give me a glow.  I probably should go and pick it up and give it another go and see what I think of it now. 

I bought this mostly because of claims you could wash your arm pits with it and skip deodorant. Not true.

It looks like they updated the packaging...and I like the new look a lot better. I think they also increased the price and shrunk the amount you get. Thank you Shrinkflation.  

I'm not too mad about it because I likely won't use it again. I don't really like cream cleansers that don't lather. I just don't think they clean well and this does claim to be a cleanser. I would probably say it should just be an acne treatment rather than labeled as a cleanser. 

It doesn't have any scent. It is literally like a cream lotion that you put on and wash off. It doesn't do a great job removing makeup. Or even cleaning the skin. 

I just don't like it much. It might be something effective to try for one suffering from acne because it does have an active- benzoyl peroxide- which has been said to be great for acne. I really like that they put the percentage of actives in it. 

Ingredients:

Active ingredient: benzoyl peroxide 10%. Inactive ingredients: water, cetostearyl alcohol, sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, capryl/capramidopropyl betaine, xanthan gum, butylene glycol, chlorphenesin, citric acid, glycerin, hydrolyzed soy protein, PEG-8 dimethicone, phenoxyethanol, portulaca oleracea extract, propanediol, rhodomyrtus tomentosa fruit extract, sodium citrate, sodium hydroxide, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate.


Overall, not something I will buy again. It probably just isn't a product meant for me or my skin.
