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 - 3 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.

Q: Will this work on sensitive skin to ?

submitted by Miranda - 3 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.

Wow. Had lots of forehead acne, some chin acne, and a big acne bump on my cheek. Used this at night and when i woke up it almost looked like i had clear skin. Minimized it so much. For the ones who say they breakout again to avoid that buy the clean and clear acne moisturizer and use daily and you'll basically have no acne at all or keep it extremely minimal depending on how much you have because it prevents it.

I use Panoxyl everyday and have been using it for months. It’s great for body acne as well as for the face. It’s not drying but benzoyl peroxide does bleach if it’s not washed off appropriately or you use a dark towel to take it off.

personally, this product is on and off for me. I use this every night, once a day and it works, but i end up breaking out again. Then, it gets rid of my acne then comes back. I recommend this product as it does work well but also recommend using a different product at the same time thay doesnt irritate skin when you use 2 acne medications at once.

Helps with my issue, but drys out my skin. Will no longer be using daily…it’s too drying even with using a moisturizer afterwards. I will still use, but not as often as I’ve been using. My skin needs a break…way too harsh. ,:-)

Unhappy customer - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
I struggled with adult breakouts and never understood why. I wash my face in the morning and before bed, used double-cleanse with oils, salicylic serum for years and nothing worked UNTIL I TRIED THIS BENZOYL PEROXIDE 10% THAT DR. DRAY recommended on YouTube. This is the product that single handed cleared my breakouts and prevent them from coming back. It’s only 5 oz, so I’ve stocked up so I don’t run out.
