Description
Clear acne and unclog pores with PanOxyl Clarifying Exfoliant 2% Salicylic Acid. Skin can become dry and lackluster when dead skin cells build up on the surface. Salicylic Acid, a Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA), helps to dissolve dead skin and minimize the production of certain skin oils. Regular exfoliation removes the oil buildup, leading to a smoother, clearer and breakout-free complexion. This gentle leave-on exfoliating treatment contains the highest concentration of Salicylic Acid available over the counter. The super lightweight, clear formula also includes Blue Algae and Antioxidants that help to calm irritation and redness, often associated with acne. This pH-balanced, dermatologist recommended treatment is great for all skin types, especially oily, sensitive and acne-prone skin. Trusted by dermatologists, PanOxyl products use scientifically-proven ingredients to banish breakouts without the prescription. PanOxyl products help your skin look its best so you can be your clearest, most confident you.

I hoped I had a dupe for PC but no such luck
I had hoped this would be a dupe of Paula's Choice exfoliating treatment but not so much. It isn't nearly as effective. With PC I see results after a few uses, I've used this for a few weeks and there's some improvement for sure just not as much and it took a little while. Some people say this gave them less irritation than PC I can't really say because I never had any irritation with it with the exception of its price.

Use with caution
It damaged my skin barrier. Use with caution. My skin feels tight, it hurts when I apply anything, and my skin is literally flaking off. It’s been a week and I’m still healing. Do not use on damp skin and apply gently because I do believe they made this stronger. I had the other one which this is the new look one and it never made my skin react this way.

Amazing!!
I had little bumps all over my chin and I had no idea what they were. I figured I would try an exfoliant to help get some dead skin off my face. I had heard great things about this brand and they were right! I've used the product only 3 or 4 times and the bumps on my chin are practically gone! If you struggle with hormonal acne (which is what I think I have) this product is perfect! This product along with the toner and moisturizer I use has made my skin look so bright and smooth!

Not for my sensitive skin
I vouch for panoxyl products, but this one unfortunately irritated my skin.

Works so well!
This is a miracle product! I’m pregnant and really struggling with back acne. Like my entire back is covered, and nothing I’ve tried to far has worked, just made my back itchy. This product hasn’t dried my skin out at all, and I saw an improvement after just 2 nights of using it! I’ve been spraying it on my back and chest every night for about 5 nights now and my back is almost clear. HOWEVER - the fumes about killed me the first time I used it, haha! I’m not someone who’s usually sensitive to fragrance or any types of smells, but this stuff will choke you. I’ve been stepping out onto my back deck each night to spray it on because if I spray it anywhere in my house, myself as well as my dogs and husband all start sneezing and coughing. Besides that, it’s an amazing product!! 100% recommend. And I love how you can flip it upside down and it still works just as well, makes it where you could reach anywhere on your body with it!

Intentionally damaged by Target
Why is it necessary to slap this huge, ugly, non-removable sticker on my items? Target does it all the time and it's one of the many reasons I'm not going to order anything for shipping anymore. This is just inexcusable. I return items that are ruined in this way via shipping just so Target can pay the postage.

Love this exfoliant!
I’ve tried so many products for my breakouts (cerave, neutrogena, hero, etc.) and this has been one of the only products to work. For reference I have combination / mostly dry skin, and I still have stubborn acne on my cheeks + acne scars that WONT go away from this product, but this product has been a lifesaver for removing those random breakouts you get. I do wish the product was larger though, as I’ve been using it everyday and I tend to run out fast.

Highly recommend
I have tried a lot of different products and picked this up because I use their body wash. This has helped clear up my cystic acne as well as decreased redness from old acne scars. It has really evened out my skin—I’m shocked! I swear by this and have a back up one ready to go.

Horrible, what is in this?
I have used Salicylic acid for years. This made my face hot and started burning. It literally looked like I had second-degree burns. I had to rinse it off with cold water and coconut oil and it took me quite some time to get relief. My face still feels like it’s on fire. Not happy at all. PanOxl strikes out again. Every time I try one of their product products it’s the same thing. Drugstore cheap.

awesome product
I stumbled across this in the store and then I've had to order it online. This is magic in a bottle! The best acne toner ever. does not sting or smell bad. I am 53 and suffer from chin acne this helps keep it at bay along with really making sure my skin is clean. I use the acne cleanser as well in the shower after I just another face wash - same at at night. I use this product twice a day after cleansing, toner and then this before my SPF during the day and then before my night face moisturiser. Target - PLEASE keep this in stock. PanOxyl - please keep this product!!!!

Helps clear up my skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the product overall and found it effective. My skin is more clear than usual and my pores look better. I gave it 4 stars because I did find it a little harsh on my skin at first. I would recommend it but start slowly at introducing it to your skin.

Works great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toner works great on stubborn breakouts. I have combination, acne prone skin, this toner worked great and dried out my blemishes overnight. It can be a little over drying, but it is very effective on breakouts.

Visible results after time
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I’d say I like this product abut definitely be careful! My skin is not sensitive AT ALL so I thought I’d be fine to start using it once a day as directed. I looked like a hot tomato after about 2 minutes 😆 It burned the first few times I used it and it took some getting used to. But after about a week of using it, I could definitely tell the difference in my skin. My skin was brighter and more even and I had less breakouts. It’s worth trying if you’re looking to clear up breakouts and brighten your skin. Just make sure you don’t have anywhere important to be after using it lol.
