I have terrible skin for spots. I get them ALL the time. Your skin doesn't get oily as fast and at first it feels like your skin is soft and moisturised. I like this because it helped get rid of my... more

But Will It Zap My Zits 28/09/2002

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages Feels like it's doing something
Disadvantages Takes a while to apply, can make your skin very dry, has no good long term effects, in fact seemed to make my spots worse!

Apparently chocolate doesn’t cause spots. Which is a pretty good thing for me, because I can quite happily get through several bars a day. I still get spots though. Some days they’re not too bad and can be quite easily covered up with a dab of make up. Other days I look in the mirror and just feel like hiding under my duvet for the rest of my life. I feel a bit like that at the moment. In my case, I know for a fact, ie, from years and years of experience, that my spots are always far worse during periods of extreme stress, pressure or unhappiness. I’m not going to go into it here, but with one ... more

Spots....begone 1 20/09/2002

User recommends the product

Advantages Works (well, after a while :), nicely packaged
Disadvantages Very expensive

Spots must be the bain of many teenagers lives (some people are just so lucky not to get any at all :), and suffering from a few myself, I can understand that. After trying many things, I began to think that my spots were industrial strength. Then I came across Oxy on the Spot. To be honest, its not a cure all and it wont work over night, but it does work in the long run. Its best used on individual spots rather than a whole area of skin, as this may irritate it. So what does it look like? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is nicely packaged in a silver box about 4 inches long. And has the Oxy on the ... more

Advantages Does clear spots before thay start
Disadvantages Could irritate skin if used in excess

I have bought a tube of this for my 21 year old as, where he has been under the weather, stuck indoors on crutches and sleeping on the leather sofa so a bit sweatier that normal, no work or fresh air. He broke his leg whilst training for his BMX-ing at The xtreme games NASS at the Royal Bath and West Showground. Any way as he couldnt climb the stairs and he was sleeping on the leather sofa and getting sweaty,obviously the blame fell on me for buying a leather sofa when he had an outbreak of a rather bad lot of spots on his face. Purely for the sake of every-one in our house, I bought him some ... more

A WASTE OF MONEY 23/11/2001

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages I suppose its good if you have sensitive skin, good packaging
Disadvantages Expensive considering it doesn't work very well, other products work better

Spots, there a pain in the arse but most teenagers have to put up with them but there is a solution to beating spots!! And I’ll tell you here and now that the solution to beating spots and acne is not through using Oxy on the Spot. Oxy on the Spot is one of the many SmithKline Beecham products available and is rather expensive at just over £4 for a small, thin tube. Like Oxy 5 – Advanced formula (I’ve wrote an opinion on it if your interested) Oxy on the Spot contains benzoyl peroxide – which is a form of bleach. Oxy on the Spot is 2.5% benzoyl peroxide whereas Oxy 5 is 5% benzoyl peroxide. So ... more

Damn you enter exclamation mark 22/10/2001

User recommends the product

Advantages Does dry the little things up a bit quicker
Disadvantages Doesn't work miracles

Why, oh why, oh why does it always happen? You know what I mean...... the day you plan to do something out of the ordinary (or not so in my case, i'll explain later) you wake up and feel that little tingling sensation..... "OH NO" is usually the normal response.... then, sure enough, after confirming it for yourself in the mirror, you've got one of those little red blighters staring back at you. People no longer talk to you, they talk to *IT*. Today, [no, I didn't have a date!], I was planning to have a photo taken for my provisional license [yes, I know i'm nearly 18 and i've had a whole year ... more
