PanOxyl : Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Acne Foaming Wash

I have severe acne and the product worked great for the first week but my skin dryed out horribly especially around my nose my skin was peeling and let me just say I AM AN OILY MESS. Other than drying my skin out my acne is still here I've been using the product for 1 month going on 2 and my acne on my cheeks is the worst. END OF STORY I DON'T RECOMMEND IT!

The "Gotta hate acne" reviewer summed up my reaction to a T. This product has 10% benzoyl peroxide, which is excellent at fighting acne, but is not safe to use on a daily basis as a *cleanser.* I was really hopeful about this product, and it did give me some results. It cleared my facial acne for a little while, and totally cleared my back. However, it damaged the rest of my skin in the process; making it dry, irritated, peeling, and red. Also, to my horror, it made my face more oily later on! Because my skin was being stripped of all the natural oils, it produced copious amounts to try and heal itself and undo the damage. My skin became much more prone to scarring from even small pimples, and just looked damaged and dry all over. This product is not good as a basic cleanser. It's too strong and doesn't improve the health of the skin, just attacks acne. It could be used on the back though, because that's not as sensitive as the face. Other than that, this product doesn't do your skin any favors.

I have moderate to mild breakouts, so this may have been a bit much for my skin. At first it seemed to be working and drying out my existing pimples. After using it for about 2 weeks, I started to get a lot more under the skin pimples and blackheads. My thought is that is stripped my skin of too much natural oil, so my skin had to over compensate and produce more oil, thus making my skin more prone to breaking out. Even if you have severe acne, I don't think this harsh product will work in the long run. I hear the 2.5 BP wash is better on the skin, so I may give that one a try if I can muster up spending $11 on something that may make my skin worse.

i used this in the past, this product dried my face out horribly and basically sucked the life out of my skin, my skin was flakey and irrataed. no matter how much moisturizer I slathered all over my face I still had many dry patches. it didn't clear my acne either, I got worse acne then I ever had using this and had very deep large zits and occasional cystic acne. I occasionly was clear but just reverted back to acne the next day.. use this product if you would like to put very harsh chemicals on your face and suck the life out of your skin, because from my experience, that's all this product does

This product did somewhat clear my skin although was not worth it. I woke up to red,flaking, dried out skin. It's been 3 days of this gross dried skin, i moisturize every morning and night, Also exfoliate but no help. I guess I have to wait it out. Please try benzoyl peroxide at a lower percent first before 10%.

This was the ONLY product that cleared my acne!!!

now that they've changed the ingredients it does nothing for my skin! 

Lord why did they change the formula.?.?.?.? Most stupid idea ever. Do not purchase instead find a product that contains glycolic acid. They took it out.

Don't buy the new formula. Original formula worked great. Currently dealing with a breakout due to the new formula.

The old formula was so much better. I thought someone had played a joke on me by putting pool water in my facewash. The chlorine smell is not good.
