This online chemist sells a couple of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide formulations - Panoxyl Aquagel 2.5 and "Oxy On-The-Spot" (sounds like Neutrogena On The Spot?) available in 40g and 20g respectively.

I've just ordered a tube of each (just had a breakout!) and no I don't work from the company. I think I've ordered from them before though.

Best wishes,

Amy.

Thanks for the link... i was after another UK company to try out, i normally go to www.pharmacy2u.co.uk which is a great place to shop from.

Also, if you're bent on trying both brands, try the Panoxyl first... that way the worst is over with.

Alternatively, don't use the Panoxyl... EVER! :(

I'm new here so I'm sure it's been covered elsewhere, but unfortunately don't have much time.

What's wrong with Panoxyl?

Burns an dries out *MOST* peoples skin. I had to add *MOST* because it seems that it actually works for 1/1000 people, lol. So that 1 person woulda flamed me.

But seriously, it's no good for your face. I might try some on my body, i used to use it around my shoulders, can't remember the results tho. #-o

I live in Ireland and order the neutrogena on the spot from the US. But as its quite expensive for all you get, I now just use it in the morning. I've started using Brevoxyl at night which I get from expresschemist. 40g tube for about 6 quid. Its 4% bp which could be drying, but I've been on the regimen for about near 2 years and it seems to be doing the buisness. Have to agree about the Panoxyl whatever %, the stuff is alot of balls and can do serious damage to your face, stay well clear.

wonder if expresschemist will accept the panoxyl back and give me a refund... I've recently spent £40 on a pot of Elicina too (which I've since read about and may be nothing more than gunk, well i suppose it is gunk because it's 80% snail secretions) so anyway the acne business is doing well out of me !

Thanks for pointing out the evils of panoxyl aquagel - my skin has been drying out BIG time, so now I know why. I have just posted a question in the regimen section about this, but I think this has answered it.

Now I know to use oxy-on-the-spot cream, can anyone recommend a good cleanser bar that is easily available?

By the way, what is the advantage of buying from an online pharmacy as opposed to Boots? Is it cheaper?

I jus answered your post in the other forum.

I'm glad you mention that the Panoxyl didn't work for you either... i seem to be the only here at the moment who's singin to that tune.

As for the online buying... i normally buy about 10 tubes of BP plus whatever else (pore strips, maybe moisturiser and soap) so i get free delivery if my order is over £50... in that way it works out cheaper, coz it's normally cheaper anyhow, plus the free delivery... makes it oh so much more convenient. :D

An on my regimen a tube lasts around 2-3 weeks anyhow, so each order lasts me a few months, hehe. =P~

Plus i've got better things to do than goin to Sainbury's for 10 tubes of BP, lol.
