Complicated skincare routines? No thanks. PanOxyl Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Foaming Wash clears and treats existing breakouts and helps prevent new zits from forming in one step.

PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash can be used to treat acne on the face, chest and back. Use in the shower or at the sink, in the morning to get ready for the day or at night before bed. To use, wet the area to be cleansed. Apply acne wash and gently massage the area for 1-2 minutes. Use at the sink or in the shower and rinse thoroughly after application for best results. Pat dry. PanOxyl 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Foaming Wash is pH balanced, paraben free, phthalate free, and contains no added fragrances. It works great for acne-prone and oily skin. Dermatologists recommend PanOxyl benzoyl peroxide acne washes because of their proven results over the last 45 years. To help maintain a clear complexion and help eliminate active blemishes, pair with PanOxyl PM Overnight Spot Patches. Always wear sunscreen when using a benzoyl peroxide acne treatment. For oily skin, apply PanOxyl AM Oil Control Moisturizer for gentle, hydrating mineral sunscreen that mattifies.

Very good fighting acne with a warning
2 things you should know before using: 1. It works very well against acne, especially the nasty big cyst pimples. I used it on 4 cysts pimples on my scalp which got better in 2-3 days. No. 2: do not use on forehead, nose or anywhere near the eyes. Test patch first. There is a moderate/severe allergy reaction of burns and eyelid swelling. I used it on another pimple between my eyebrows in the shower. Just the cream being washed and briefly touched my face and I woke up with 1 eyelid swollen shut, my nose bridge swollen, cheeks swollen and slightly burned on my upper lip. The allergy reaction will last for days even after stop using it. If you have no choice but to use this ingredient, use it on your back, not on the face. It is very strong. Or go lower in % instead of 10% that this cream offer. When it works without allergy reactions, it works very well. I saw the difference right after first or 2nd use on my scalp pimples. It did make a difference for the pimple between my brows but I had to stop as soon as my face was swollen. Seek immediate medical care or call 911 if your throat or tongue starts to swell up from this cream. It's been 2 days since my eyelids were swollen. I saw a doctor, and without using steroids, the swelling is mostly gone on my face. Be careful using this strong product. You can also use salicylic acid as a safer alternative (do not use at the same time, and also test patch it for allergies first).

The Only Wash That Clears My Skin
I’ve been using PanOxyl for over 10 years, and it’s the only face wash that truly works for me. I’ve struggled with cystic acne and have tried everything — dermatologist prescriptions, professional facials, and even $80+ face washes. Nothing cleared my skin the way this does. Sometimes expensive isn’t better. PanOxyl is affordable, effective, and absolutely essential in my skincare routine. If you deal with stubborn acne, I can’t recommend it enough.

Allergic
Purchased this based on other good reviews. I didn’t use it often as I alternated between another facial wash. So it took me two months and two $300 doctor visits to figure out I was allergic. It would take days for the swelling to go and wouldn’t even go out in public. Just make sure your face can handle the ingredients.

PATCH TEST!!!
I bought this because it was recommended to me for acne... it worked beautifully, however, I found out the hard way that I am allergic to benzoyl peroxide. Due to the strength of the product, I blew up like a balloon! I have heard that this is somewhat common, and while not the developers' fault, be sure to learn from my mistake and PATCH TEST BEFORE USE!

Helps acne actually disappear
I was recommended this by my dermatologist for hormonal acne on my chest and shoulders. It actually works - I use it daily on breakouts for at least a few days until the acne is basically gone, and doesn't dry out my skin. However I did have to switch to white towels since the active ingredient will bleach your colored towels over time even after rinsing off. The small size lasts a surprisingly long time since you only need a small amount.
