PanOxyl Acne Creamy Wash, 4% Benzoyl Peroxide (Pack of 2)

Great item

I never write reviews but I know how hard acne has been for my son . I hope this review will help other teenagers who struggle with acne and it’s unpredictably. My son is 17 a junior in high school and has battled acne since the 9th grade . We have been to dermatologist who recommend antibiotics and topicals with major side effects that outweigh the benefits . They have even deemed him a candidate for accutane. We choose to use the topical antibiotic prescribed that does clear his skin somewhat not before the breakout gets worse and then at the cost of leaving his skin very red and visible dry and chapped . So there is not big pimples but his skin still isn’t clear . Fast forward to two months ago , he plays basketball and requested a creamOr wash for his acne on his back and shoulders which is far worse then what is on his face . So I went online and ordered this product with not a high expectation as I have bought every over the counter medication scrubs and washes you can buy with no luck . About two weeks later I looked at my son one day and said “wow , you face looks super clear and early good “ he said “I have been using the wash on my face that you just bought “ I was in shock! I haven’t seen his face this clear and not irritated in years . I highly recommend this product for face and body for major acne . It totally works . It’s unbelievable.

I bought PanOxyl on a whim in a state of desparation. My (adult) acne has been getting out of control and I needed something that would provide results. I have been using this about every other day for a month now and here is what I have experienced... First off, it doesn't dye your skin, your hair or your towels. I use it in the shower so I can apply it and rinse it off completely without worry. It took about a week for me to notice any results (but that's better than waiting a whole month right?) My current acne started to reduce redness and irritation. My skin, particularly on my forehead was less oily but one major CON to this, is it WILL dry out sensitive areas of the skin. For me, it was around my mouth and chin. Very dry, chapped, irritated skin for about 5 days. Aweful. To remedy this, I simply stopped applying the PanOxyl to my mouth/chin area and continued to use it in the problem areas, and about 3 times a day would moisturize the irritated are. Worked like a charm and I'm back to normal. Overall, this stuff is great. It does what it is supposed to. Just know what areas of your skin are sensitive. The areas that are usually dry and flaky, avoid those areas. Or just use it every other day or so. It worked very well for me and I feel much better not having to hide my acne blemished face.

My dermatologist told me to use this along with antibiotics and a gentle skin cleanser. I first tried just the antibiotics, then both that and the Panoxyl, to determine if the Panoxyl actually did anything. I started with quite a lot of acne on my chest, and some on my back and arms. From what I can tell, the Panoxyl has made a notable difference. It did not completely prevent acne from forming of breaking out, but it did lessen the frequency of break outs, and lessened the amount of acne that comes with each break out. I give 4/5 stars, because for how much this stuff costs (this was the cheapest place I could find to buy them from), it doesn't do as good of a job as I would hope. Also, some people are saying they got products that were almost expired. The ones I got today have a year and a half before expiring, so perhaps that problem is now fixed. The bottles also are blue, not white as pictures.

Recommended by my PCP for bacne! Works great, haven’t tried on my face

I wanted a facewash that was better than many of the apricot scrubs and sialic acid face washes I would use to get. I was told that benzoyl peroxide would be an option but I didn't want to start out with a very high concentration because I know it can really dry out your skin and make it sensitive to sunlight. I settled on the 4% and have been using it for several weeks. It has worked nicely so far and my face has been feeling less oily for longer stretches of the day. The 4% probably wouldn't be the best for people with really oily skin, but for those with mild to moderately oily skin this might work just fine. Another thing the doc said is that for some acne treatments don't expect it to work immediately. Initially I didn't see much of a difference but now 3 weeks out, I can see it working.

This product has sufficiently solved my adult onset acne problems. Whatever the reason in my mid-thirties (stress? very early stages of menopause? Changing skin?) I started getting acne on my cheeks. Pink patches, itchy and pimples under my skin. I finally decided to try a product and this one cleared it up! I’ve been using it for a few months now. Things to note: - I use some water and rub the product on, then let it sit for 1-3 minutes before I rinse it off. I believe this helps (often something like this: apply, brush teeth/mouthwash, then rinse off). - Night wash: I always use a some type of moisturizing product after. I believe this helped me not to get dry skin in the adjustment period or after. - Morning wash: I always apply a product with sunscreen after washing in the morning (tinted moisturizer or similar). I know this face wash makes your skin more prone to sunburn and I don’t want to take my chances. Actually, after the first few weeks I haven’t always been using this cleanser to wash in the mornings since I’ve found I don’t need it as much. - It would be wise to use a white face towel. I figured this would bleach my towels and it has indeed!

Well received fast

Been using this stuff for years now. Mainly the 10% solution but it drys my face out too much in the winter. I suffered with acne for the better part of 25 years. Sometimes, many times, I would simply avoid events just not to be seen in public. I tried every wash, mask, spot treatment and pharmaceutical medication under the sun. All yielded the same result. I came across this product online from an American distributor and thought why not. My face has been clear for over 3 years now and I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. Finally something that works. It is amazing, anywhere on your body that you are prone, use this wash over the course of a couple weeks and I hope you achieve the same results I did. Note: Like I said, I started with the 10% benzoyl peroxide face wash. It is extremely potent and intended for very oily, acne prone skin. For the winter, and the first time I am trying this 4% with much success and a lot less drying out. Keep in mind this is for those of us who need something stronger than everything else we have tried. Caution: After washing rinse THOROUGHLY (and I wash my face with Dove as a second step). THIS STUFF WILL BLEACH OUT TOWELS, SHIRTS ANYTHING YOU TOUCH, unless completely rinsed away. Best of Luck, I understand the struggle.

Thanks to Amazon SG prime. I managed to get the PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash Benzoyl 4% around 7 days with free delivery. WOW! When I wrote the comments, so happy there is a promotion here 2 for S$18.78. I will order one for my friend. Feeling: I have been using it once a day for a week, and I feel good. I am a combination skin type. It does help recover and prevent acne happen. The smell is just exactly like the Benzac I tried before LOL. I don’t expect it to function as an acne treatment cream. In my opinion, the Benzac Spots Treatment 10%/5% maybe be more effective to apply to the acne over the night. But I am looking for a treatment to prevent acne happen again. As I still have acne on my face, I will use 10% for my night routine daily. After recovery, I will try to lower it down to 4％ for the ongoing plan. Usage: I pasted some useful info below or you can check my photos. It also said it may cause sky dry issues. It is a symptom that may result in skin peeling when using Benzoyl Peroxide products. As I am not the first time using Benzoyl, I used Benzac Ac 5%/10% from the Watson to apply to my acne before. I did not encounter such an issue. Do remember applying lotion with moisturizing cream over the night. It will help. - wet area to be cleaned - apply acne wash and gently massage the area for 1-2 minutes - if going outside, apply sunscreen after using this product. because excessive drying of the skin may occur, start with 1 application daily, then gradually increase to 2 or 3 times daily if needed or as directed by a doctor Do remember to apply sunscreen, if you need to go outside. I just only use it before sleep. Ingredient Health Check: I did the check on Think Dirty to ensure no ingredient will cause potential problems except for Benzoyl peroxide. TIPS: From my understanding, acne is caused by a bacteria called Cutibacterium. It is a facultative anaerobic type which means it does not like oxygen and cannot survive well in the air (about 21% oxygen in the air). Benzoyl, a peroxide, used the weakness to let bacteria exposed more to the oxygen and kill them.

The package was good and product arrived on time and its a good product too. Genuine.

So far so good

I’m sure a fraction of the people here are recommended this by Dr Dray (watch her videos on YouTube if you haven’t!!). This product is a godsend not just for acne on your face and chest but it also functions as a deodorant. Apply it on affected areas (i.e. face, back and underarms) like a mask and leave it on while you shower. You’ll never need any deodorant with this trick.
