This review is from: Oxy Spot Treatment, Light Tint, 0.65-Ounce (Pack of 3) (Health and Beauty)

GlaxoSmithKline (who merged with the originator of the product) sold the Oxy branding to Mentholatum at the end of 2005, but it appears not the formulations themselves. I guess Mentholatum thought no one would notice if they just tried to pawn off some useless junk under that same name. The new-old-stock Oxy took about a year or two to get replaced on the shelves with this. After complaining to the company, all I got was a form letter and worthless coupons for more Mentholatum junk. The company was quiet about the facts, but some minor investigative work produced an explaination.

This review is from: Oxy Spot Treatment, Light Tint, 0.65-Ounce (Pack of 3) (Health and Beauty)

I've been using the normal Oxy Tint for over 14 years, and it helps control the occasional acne problems, as well as serve as a great cover up. I'm a guy, so the less conspicuous the better. All I use is Olay face lotion and Oxy; couldn't be simpler right? Well, I had been using this last bottle for over 2 years, and when it came down to purchase another, to my surprise, there was a "new formula", that reviewers simply hated.

"What?" I thought, "It can't be that bad." So I ordered it to try it out.

Got the product after some normally fast shipping from Amazon.com, and proceeded to run up the bathroom to dab some on like I usually have in the last 14 years. What are the results?

Cons
1) Light color doesn't match at all. It was too obvious and looked hideous.
2) Slimy, slick texture going on. Didn't stick to anything. The only way I can describe it is it feels like sour cream. Imagine putting sour cream on your face. That's exactly how this Oxy Light Tinted is. Simply awful.
3) Packaging. All I can say is in this tube you will never get the last drop. Product simply wasted. Great job Oxy, unless of course that was your intent.

Pros
1) Nothing from the MFG. However, as this was the first item I've ever returned to Amazon, I was pleasantly surprised how well the refund went. Great job Amazon. Again why I purchase so many things from you.

So that's my review. And actually my first ever review as well. The new formula for Oxy Light Tinted is so awful, it compelled me to actually write this review and forewarn others. In my opinion, Amazon should take it off their website as it is such a sub-standard, inferior product. Oh, there was a benefit that came out of this. In my quest to find something comparable, I found Clearasil Tinted Cream here locally. This product is awesome! Even better then the old Oxy! And it comes w/ so much! Thanks Oxy for showing me that there are way better products out there then yours!

Oxy spot treatment seems to have replaced OXY 10 tinted.
The new OXY spot treatment does help hide the blemishes although not as well as the original Oxy 10 tinted. The tube is not as good as the bottle
and leaves product that is un reachable in the tube. My biggest dissapointment with this product is the strong smell of the product.
It actually stinks and the smell sticks with you. I never noticed that with oxy 10. The other option clearasil tint has a strong perfume smell.
