5.0 out of 5 stars Works surprisingly well

I wasn't having any luck with salicylic acid products, and do not like prescriptions because they are too drying. I decided to give this the Panoyxl face wash a try due to a recent (bad) acne flare-up.After about 4 days of use (one time per day), my face was looking much less red and and the painful pimples were reduced. I wasn't sure whether it was a normal clearing or the result of the panoxyl, however, due to the fact that my acne comes and goes periodically anyway.I have to say though after about a month of using it, my face seems a lot smoother and the redness is gone. If I do get a pimple at all anymore, it goes away after two days. My skin really seems to be clearing up, and I hope it will improve even more over time. It's not completely clear yet but is definitely improving.One caveat is I tried using it twice per day during one week and it caused A LOT of dryness. I stopped and began using it only at night, and the dryness disappeared. You will need to ease into using it more frequently or else you may experience flakiness and extreme dryness.The only other 'con' I can think of is that it will bleach your fabrics. A pajama shirt that I wear at night is now ruined with bleach stains because I apparently splash or drip when washing my face. You could just use it in the shower and avoid this (or else do not wear a shirt when washing your face). Make sure you rinse well before patting dry, or else your towels will get bleach stains.

My teenage daughter used to use a prescription version of this as a gel form, but she likes this product better. It is a stronger amount of benzoyl peroxide and easier for her to use. It foams and rinses nicely. This product is a great base for anyone with acne, and is better than Proactiv products. My daughter also uses a prescription cream with this product which keeps her relatively clear, even in hot months and sports season. The price here on Bolo (especially in the 3-pack) is much better than I've found in the single packages from my local drug store.

My dermatologist recommended I use panoxyl soap with 10% benzoyl peroxide years ago and I’ve used it ever since. It has helped tremendously in clearing up my complexion and getting rid on my acne. It works greatly. I highly recommend trying it.

I needed this for upcoming shoulder surgery and the doctor wants the pores on my skin as clean as possible to avoid any infection. This product is very easy to use. A little goes a long way. I put about a quarter size amount in my palm, and it spread over my shoulder, upper arm, neck and upper back. You get three large tubes which makes it economical. The only thing I don't like is the scent. It didn't stay on my skin, though.

Been using for about a week now, I have stubborn acne in my back too. Acne seems to be slowly getting under control, hopefully it controls it further in couple of more weeks or so. It does dry the skin, so I'd suggest some kind of moisturizer for your body.

This is the best acne product out there. It's a higher concentration of Benzoyle Peroxide than the prescription cleanser my dermatologist gave me - but it's cheaper, easier to get, and it foams. It doesn't dry my skin out too much or cause it to flake, like a lot of the creams and ointments do. But it does clear up breakouts really fast. I keep it on hand at all times.

godsend product recommended to me by my dermatologist. I used to have very problematic skin-- I would break out on my t zone and cheeks every month around that time of the month. It was terrible because I would always be in a state of skin issue-- either i would be breaking out, or have hyperpigmentation because of the acne I had that I picked at.After using this product in conjunction with aczone -- I no longer breakout. People complement me on my skin all the time and I couldn't be happier.I can't guarantee that this product will work for you-- everyone's skin is different. All I know is that it has worked for me.

I have struggle with acne on my back and now arms and chest my WHOLE LIFE. For my face I prefer using a different product anyways. I do not have to take a harmful pill to combat this acne. This product was quick because by the second used I could see the irritations start to come down. I also prefer nice scents and this product has none but, I figure that out. After using the product I would step out of the shower and used some really nice scented oils on the skin.. and leave them on. Where was this product my whole life?? Now do not was with water that is too warm it will irritate some areas and over dry it generating dry skin. So just warm water is fine.
