Description
Clear, treat and prevent even the worst breakouts with PanOxyl 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Maximum Strength Acne Foaming Wash. This cleanser for acne-prone skin can be used on both the face and body. PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash contains the highest concentration of benzoyl peroxide available without a prescription. This powerful daily cleanser starts working quickly to clear inflammatory acne and kills over 99% of acne-causing bacteria in 15 seconds. Acne treatments can be harsh and drying to skin, so PanOxyl’s benzoyl peroxide washes contain moisturizers to combat dryness. 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. Acne is caused by three things clogging pores: dead skin cells, excess oils and acne-causing bacteria. This powerful, anti-bacterial cleansing wash breaks the acne cycle by unclogging pores and killing acne-causing bacteria. When used daily, this wash helps to prevent new pimples from forming. 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. 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.

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 - 2 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 - 2 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.

Q: Hi! Does this wash help to exfoliate?
submitted by Bobbie - 6 months ago
A: Hey Bobbie, Great question! The Panoxyl Maximum Strength foaming wash is formulated with 10% Benzoyl Peroxide. Benzoyl peroxide is a powerful chemical exfoliator which cleanses deeply by removing the skin’s outermost layer. This will keep skin looking fresher and prevents breakouts.

So good! Really helped clear my acne. Every-time I use this my skin feels so clean. Don’t use it everyday because it will dry your skin out as any benzoyl peroxide product so use a rich moisturizer after.
First face wash to ever mwke my oily skin feel super clean!

I love this face wash. It doesn’t necessarily “foam” like it says but if you get a good lather with it, it’s a really great face wash. Leaves my skin feeling clean but not dried out. I use it twice a day with no issues, had a bit more acne at the beginning due to purging but otherwise my skin has been super clear and less oily!

I bought PanOxyl about a week ago after seeing really good things about it on tiktok and thought I would try it out because I had gotten a lot of cystic acne and papules specifically on my cheek area. The one thing I'd definitely like to point is that even though the directions on the bottle say to massage the acne wash in for about 1-2 minutes, it was recommended by users on tiktok to use it as sort of a mask and keep it on for about 3 minutes. I went about this method and immediately started noticing results within a couple of days and how drastically my acne had gone down! I 100% recommend this as an option but just remember to use a good moisturizer afterwards as it can be very drying. Also it is known to bleach towels and clothes so make sure to throughly wash all of it off!

The top seal of the bottle was broken open when I got it, but I didn’t notice until I tried squeezing product out to use it and it exploded out of the top. Maybe it’s because the wash is too thick? It is extremely difficult to squeeze out of the tube.

I’m in my 30s and still breaking out. I use this every evening after taking my makeup off with a cleansing balm. It really helps and I notice a difference if I stop using it regularly. When I first start using it after taking a break it does take some getting used to. My skin will be red and irritated at first, so I work up to using it daily. I use a different cleanser in the morning.

Only face wash that helps me with my breakouts when I do get them and maintaining clear skin!! Forever my holy grail. Be sure to use a light weight moisturizer after you wash your face because this could dry your face a tiny bit depending on your skin type.

I switched to this from the Cerave benzoyl wash because of the reviews and price but wish I didn’t. I am breaking out in places I don’t usually break out. Each day more. Maybe works for some but I think this is junk.
