Pros:

Cleared acne

Cons:

made my skin EXTREMELY dry around my eyes, around my nose, and mouth.

I have an oily t-zone. I've tried Panoxyl for 3 days straight. I cleansed for about 2 min and followed with a moisturizer every morning and evening. On the first day, I noticed my skin becoming less oily. On the third day, my skin became so dry it started to peel. Peel. It was peeling around my mouth, corners of my nose, my chin, and my upper eyelids and below my eyes. Moisturizing didn't help. It looked like I had aged 40 years. I'm only 14. I couldn't open my mouth. The corners of my mouth were cracked and it was painful. I couldn't smile-- not due to the way I looked, but because it would crack my skin and it was painful. My eyes were rough and terribly dry. I didn't look like I was a 14 year old girl anymore. My face looked like a Halloween witch mask that went wrong.. It made the acne I had go away. And another pimple didn't show up within the few days of using the product, but the extreme dryness. It was horrible. I discontinued using the product. These three days of using PanOxyl occured last week. After I stopped using it, the peeling slowly stopped. My skin is still peeling right now, though. So to recap all of that-- It cleared my acne. But, it made my skin tremendously dry, my skin was peeling, and it was painful. Moisturizing didn't help. Exfoliating the peeled skin didn't help. It's not worth it. I don't recommend it.

I've been using this product for 3 weeks now and there have been no visible results and my face is just as bad as it was before I started using PanOxyl. Pretty disappointed but at least it was only $10
