Q: Does this work with pimples ? I have so many pimples everywhere and can I use my cetaphil with this product. If not , what are my risk meaning does my acne get worse ?
submitted by Mi - 4 years ago
A: PanOxyl acne washes contain benzoyl peroxide, which works to kill acne causing bacteria and helps prevent future breakouts from forming. Our washes can be used to treat acne on the face, chest and back. We offer acne washes containing benzoyl peroxide in 4% and 10% concentration levels so you can customize your routine based on your skin’s needs. Avoid contact with the eyes, lips and mouth. Skin irritation and dryness is more likely to occur if you use another topical medication at the same time. If irritation occurs, only use one topical acne medication at a time. If you have any concerns about a potential reaction, we recommend you consult your healthcare provider.
submitted byEG Product Expert - 4 years agoBrand expertA: this stuff is amazing and yes you can use cetaphil with it. Cleanse first with another cleanser and follow up with this. I use cetaphil and no issues. both cleanser and face lotion.

Q: Will this work on sensitive skin to ？
submitted by Miranda - 4 years ago
A: We don’t recommend using our 10% wash on sensitive skin because of the Benzoyl peroxide that we use in our acne washes. Using a wash that has Benzoyl peroxide may cause skin irritation. We recommend you contact your healthcare provider or dermatologist for any questions regarding the appropriate treatment.

Panoxyl pimple patches used to be super amazing and my go to pimple patches. However, ever since they did their “new look”, the pimple patches don’t work. They don’t hold on the skin well, and can’t even drain a pimple with a clear whitehead. They only seem to work after a pimple has been popped and the wound is open. I asked a friend who also uses this brand and they said the same thing. Save your money, this product doesn’t work anymore.
Works well!

Cblaise - 5 days ago, Verified purchaser
Terrible packaging… they didn’t work bc you have to use your fingernail to get them off the plastic film, which then a) crumples it against itself making it not stick on that edge and b) compromises it due to contact with your fingernail before putting on your skin (germs). Wish I had just gotten my normal Hero ones and not tried to save money.
Worth the money

This stuff works! Be careful with your eyes it will burn a lot if it gets in. I only use it in the shower because it does bleach clothes, it's a peroxide, people need to understand basic science or read the warning labels before they complain.

An absolute bliss the last 4 months!! So happy that I sometimes skip my other skincare steps because this is enough to keep things clear and bright. And because I do it in the shower and use white towels, bleaching has NEVER been an issue. I’ll keep buying so as long as they keep making and never changing ANYTHING 😫 ps, leave for 2-4 mins then rinse!
DO NOT BUY!!! The internet is lying to uou about how "great" this product is. Its a scam!!

AsleepOne01 - 26 days ago
I’ve tried this cleanser for about 2-3 weeks and had the most terrible breakout you can imagine. I did a patch test prior to using it all over my face and it was fine. Within 2-3 days of using, I broke out all over my jaw and the sides of my face. (Also used on my body and broke out in the most uncomfortable places ever…) This cleanser also happens to bleach clothing, dries your skin out bad (even with a moisturizer), and subtly whitens your face. I would not recommend buying unless you’re okay with worsening your acne & possibly developing acne scars haha
Still waiting to see results

I'm not sure how I feel about this product yet. My sister who is a dermatologiest recommends it for body acne. Im currently on my second bottle and havent noticed much of a different. It hasn't cleared my skin but also kept it from getting worse. I feel like I have to use alot at a time to get it foam also. I'm currently trying the spay which I think I like better.

I ordered these thinking they would be a good alternative to the Elf pimple patches but no! They don't stick and therefore can't work their magic. I would make sure .y face had no lotion or anything before applying it so it would stick but nothing worked. I do not recommend!

I’ve only been using panoxyl for a week and already my skin has improved an insane amount, my pores are smaller, I have less blackheads and my really stubborn acne finally went away. I have struggled with acne my whole life especially adult acne and nothing worked, I tried medication and specific dermatologist recommended acne cream and nothing cleared my face. I love how quick and easy panoxyl was to use and how effective it was, my confidence with my skin has gone up by 100 since I started using it. I definitely recommend trying this face wash out!!!💗🦋
Favorite brand of patches!
