PanOxyl 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Foaming Wash - 1oz: Paraben-Free, For Face & Body, Acne-Prone Skin

A: Hi! Thank you for reaching out to us! For those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, we recommend checking with your doctor before using our Acne Foaming Wash.

A: Yes, you can use PanOxyl 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Wash on your scalp, but it requires extreme caution. Because it contains a high concentration of benzoyl peroxide, it will bleach hair and fabrics. If you use it on your scalp, follow these steps: Apply with care: Massage the wash gently onto the scalp, avoiding your hairline, face, and eyes. Rinse thoroughly: Leave it on for 1–2 minutes, then rinse completely to prevent residue buildup. Use old towels: Dry your hair using a towel you do not mind getting bleached. Due to the risk of hair discoloration, many dermatologists recommend gentler alternatives like salicylic acid for scalp acne or folliculitis.

A: Recommended Skincare Routine After PanOxyl 10% Wash: Cleanse: PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash (Wet skin, massage, rinse thoroughly, pat dry with a white towel to avoid bleaching). Toner (Optional): Apply a hydrating, alcohol-free toner to soothe skin. Treatment/Serum (Optional): Apply lightweight serums (like Niacinamide or Hyaluronic Acid). Moisturizer (Crucial): Apply a generous layer of moisturizer to prevent dryness and peeling caused by the 10% benzoyl peroxide. SPF (Daytime): Always finish with SPF 30+ in the morning as benzoyl peroxide can make skin sensitive to the sun.

A: Hi there! When switching to PanOxyl 10% Benzoyl Peroxide, start by using it less frequently (every other day or even less) and for a short contact time (1-2 minutes), rinsing thoroughly, gradually increasing usage as your skin tolerates it, to avoid excessive dryness and irritation, many dermatologists suggest starting with a lower 4% wash first if you have sensitive skin, but if using the 10%, build up from 3 times a week to daily use over several weeks.

A: To preventing bleaching, rinse thoroughly. Ensure your face is completely free of the wash before touching any fabric. Always use white towels to dry your face and hands after washing with PanOxyl. Dry Completely: Allow your skin to dry fully before getting dressed, as wetness can transfer the product more easily.

A: PanOxyl 10% wash can kill acne bacteria and unclog pores, helping some skin issues, but it's usually not for dermatitis; it can be too drying and irritating for sensitive, inflamed skin, potentially worsening dermatitis, so avoid using it on eczema or open sores and consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

A: Getting rid of acne with PanOxyl 10% BP wash takes time; you'll see initial improvements in a few weeks (around 4 weeks), but it can take 6 to 10 weeks for full results, as it kills bacteria quickly but needs consistent use to control breakouts and prevent new ones. Be patient and consistent, as dryness and irritation are common at first, and use a moisturizer to help.

A: Hello! This product is 1oz and that is what is pictured.

A: Hi there! Yes, PanOxyl 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Foaming Wash can generally be used by a 12-year-old daughter. The product is suitable for adults and children 12 years and older. However, it's recommended to start with a lower concentration (like 2.5% or 4%) or use it less frequently initially to minimize potential irritation.

A: Hello! We recommend using PanOxyl Acne Blemish Aftercare Brightening Patches to help fade dark spots and visibility improve skin texture.
