Pros Temporarily clears severe acne
Better than pro active or any other topical solutions i've ever used
good price and easy to get
Cons not recommended to people with sensitive skin
causes skin to feel tight
can't go out in the sun or you will get very sunburnt
Bottom line I've had moderate acne for 5 years and pro active didn't work at all. Panoxyl cleared me up pretty well but it always made me look red which i really embarrassing. Once you stop using it, the acne will come back. If I played baseball I would get badly sunburnt.. I don't recommend to people with sensitive skin like me. i'm now on accutane which I like better because it's a long-term solution.

Pros effective
cheap
no side effects
does work from day one
nice feeling on oily skin
Cons none
Bottom line ive on accutane 3 times, solodyn, doryx, sulfa u name it,, also benzaclyn, aczone, poisoning like crazy, untill i found the best product, very very affordable $11.00 wich worked from the very first wash.
only a docs appoinment with insurance 20 bucks plus prescription another 20 for a wash 20 for antibiotic and 20 for a topical cream do the math,, try it, trust me its the best product out there even for adult nodular acne, nothing has worked for me untill i found panoxyl 10% wash,,, wash my face in the am and once pm, only do it twice a day, a good acne prone skin sunscreen n thats all u need for clear skin,,, buy it

Pros - Works really fast, and well!
- If applied correctly heals skin fast
- In conjunction with "Differin Cream" a excellent solution
Cons - Can leave a white residue when dried after application
- Can irritate sensitive skin (less when moisturised a bit before application) but does subside
Bottom line I use PanOxyl cream for about two weeks now, it really helped reduce inflammation on my skin and it helped with smoothing the surface. Works really well when used with Differin Cream, the Diffiren is applied at night, wil clean pores form deep down, but unfortunately makes ugly relatively large spots as it’s clearing the pore from deep down, the PanOxyl is the excellent in healing the spot and preventing new spots form forming. I apply in the morning after washing, and reapply on the larger spots about 4 hours later, it works really well for me

Pros Can't really comment, suffice to say it wasn't suitable for me
Cons Not suitable for sensitive skin!!!
Bottom line I used this stuff a few years back and ended up with chemical burns to my face, missed school over it and everything. Went to the doctor over the burns, she really was furious, I think she wrote to the company and everything.

Pros -Dries up spots FAST
-Helps with blackheads and milia I find
-Excellent on just popped pimples
-Also great on large, painful inflamed pimples. (Ugh... don't you hate those?_
Cons -Very drying, need a good moisturizer like honey or olive oil
-Can leave skin red and flaky.
-Can bleach pillows/clothes etc.
Bottom line I really like this product. I'm 15 and I've struggled with moderate acne since I was about 10. I've literally tried everything out there. I used to use 5% Benzac Ac but didn't find it helped much... My friend reccomended Panoxyl 10% to me and gave me her old tube for a trial. I find it works pretty well! It's super fast at drying up pimples. One bad thing about Panoxyl is that it can leave you with purpleish acne marks/scars....

This product hasn't yet cleared up my acne but it's certainly improved it! I've been using it for about a week now..

I'd say if you've got moderate to severe acne, give Panoxyl 10% a try! But make sure you follow it up with a good moisturizer!

Pros Stops acne forming straight away
GREAT for back and body acne only - too harsh on face
Cons * doesnt get rid of much acne that is all ready there just stops acne forming
* dried my skin and made it inflamed and peel
* had to use alot of moisturiser
Bottom line i baught this cause my acne is quite bad and now im starting to see really bad back acne for about 3 years and quite mild face acne but has gotten worse in the past year on my jaw line i used this product and it stoped acne forming on my face and back straight away but i think it is way too harsh on the face im now starting Accutane next week i hope this works for me so i can stop messing around with cleansers treatments and different medication wish me luck and ****** this product does work to stop acne forming but it wont work forever unless you use it all the time please test it in a small area before using it because if your like me your skin will get really inflammed and start to peel

Pros Fast Acting! Tightens Skin! NO PRE-BREAKOUT B4 RESULTS!
Cons None. Because most acne meds are overdrying & we know to use a moisturizer (w/ no perfumes or oil or can slow down results). Duh Right!
Bottom line I would recommend this to everyone that's still looking for skin regimen with lasting results. *AND ESPECIALLY TEENAGERS* Wish I knew about it my teen years. Anyhow, why pay $20+ on meds for skin when you can pay $8.

Pros helps dry the acne
you notice a difference overnight (pimples appear reduced)
Cons makes your skin really dry (even though i washed my hands after applying it made all my fingers peel)
Bottom line It helps but i wouldnt use again
it made my skin really dry and tight you have to use a thick moisturiser to get moisture back into your skin then i found i would get pimples again because i was using too much moisturiser

I put no to recommending because there were too many cons to pros but everyones different some people have had great sucess with it
