Pros:

Did stop SOME new spots forming

Cons:

*Does not clear skin completely, new spots still forming, seems to stop working after a while
* can leave your skin really dry

I have been using for 1 month now, I've had clear skin for maybe 7 days which was great but 5 big spots have just appeared on chin and around my mouth over then weekend and they are bad, they are the horrible big cyst like red ones which no amount of make up can cover! It hasnt worked for me which is sad, maybe I need to use it abit longer but I have seen no vast improvement, guess its my hormones and might need to go back on the pill

Pros:

Not too expensive
Does dry out spots
Helped for a few days

Cons:

Made more tiny acne come up on my forehead and I rarely get those. I usually get big ones, not really any small ones. Now I have a lot of tiny ones aswell as my usual on my face.
Drys my skin out too much
My face cracks, feels tight, horrible, burns

Worked for a few days then I noticed loads of little spots on my forehead started to form, I carried on anyways because it did take away my big ones and my face was actually smoother than it had been a long time so I thought the little ones will go away if I continued. Sadly they are not gone and I still have them. I stopped using it for a few days now and they are still there, now along with my usual ones, I tried to put it on my big ones only (a dab) it just doesnt work anymore. So I threw it in the bin. My face is super dry, flaky and feels horrible. Did not like this product.

Pros:

surface treatment, can be applied at night, very good at drying and healing. More preventive than curative. Effect stops if you stop using it. Low cost. I have suffered from Acne for 45 years, except for time in a desert climate, when I had no occurrence and used no medication. Panoxyl seems to work the same as the drying effect of suntan, but without cancer risk.

Cons:

bleaches your pillow (tell your mum that should be the least of her worries since you feel so miserable with the acne). Wash hands after applying so you do not bleach clothes or get in your eye. Can make skin a bit red - but what's better: reddish skin or acne? If it dries white on your skin you are using too much (though I suggest using only at night). No scarring for me, but do not apply too fiercely - once a day.

45 years acne: I have had 2 courses of Accutane, and was on antibiotics for years: both quietened it down, but still need Panoxyl. Now using nothing except Panoxyl gel; have used it and a predecessor Benoxyl for 40 years. For new users, suggest apply on Friday night at least two weeks before the big party. See how you are Saturday. Apply again Saturday night, and see how you are Sunday. Maybe skip Sunday night if your skin gets red. Maybe apply moisturiser (though I never do).

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

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:

- 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

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
