Pros:

Can't really comment, suffice to say it wasn't suitable for me

Cons:

Not suitable for sensitive skin!!!

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.

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

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!

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)

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

Pros:

Works soooo fast!!
Completely cleared my spots on chin and jaw.
No more new spots!!!!

Cons:

Drying (but easily sorted with moisturiser)

I applied this before bed one evening, by the morning the spots had pretty much dried up. I applied this the next evening and by the morning all my spots had gone!! I am amazed - i had tried everything, from BC, countless lotions and potions, and my hormonal acne on my chin and jawline never went away and just seemed to keep getting worse. After just 2 days of applying panoxyl, all my spots are gone!!!! I bought the 10%, it is very drying, bt just apply moisturiser and you'll be fine. Its so cheap and can be bought over the counter, so just give it ago, you might be amazed like me!! P.S since applying i have had no new pimples whatsoever,where before i was getting 1-2 new ones per day!!!

Pros:

Clears skin fast, stops new breakouts

Cons:

does dry the skin so use an oil free moisterizer afterward.

The only thing that has ever worked on my skin was proactiv but i don't feel like paying that much. I figured that benzoyl peroxide was my best bet in treating my acne so i bought this cream at my mothers suggestion. I also realised that the toner used in proactiv is pretty much witch hazel so i use that in conjunction with the 10% gel and my skin looks amazing. I wash my face, apply witch hazel, then the gel and afterward moisterise and i honestly have near perfect skin accept for the scars which are slowly fading. I honestly used everything under the sun but this is the simplest, most inexpensive way. I also apply jojoba oil every couple of days because benzoyl peroxide does remove all, including good oils from your skin, and jojoba oil helps restore hydration and vitality. Try this it works!!!!!

Clear skin in roughly 1-3 weeks with constant use.

Cons:

Dry, Red, Itch skin - Apply E45 after panoxyl and will stop in 1-2 days.

Panoxyl is good, I find it has heped my acne alot. I used to be plastered in them. But now after using panoxyl for 3 WEEKS only.. I have clear skin.. eventhough my skin is now clear, i still apply the cream as it also works in prevention.. Hope this helped :)

Pros:

Has Glycolic Acid, added bonus

Cons:

Can't get the gel.

I can only find the PanOxyl in the Foaming Wash. Where can I get the 10% gel. So far it looks like I have to send for it from England or New Zealand. I do notice that the PanOxyl wash has glycolic acid in, which is one of the best products for wrinkles you can use. So I am a little leary about using another brand of the 10% gel here in the states. They are only spot treatment size where the ones from other countries are for entire face preventive style. PanOxyl has made a difference for me in just one day and I need the wrinkle stuff since I'm 63.

Pros:

Dry pimple very fast especially those that are newly formed.

Cons:

no so effective on small inflammed whiteheads. It took like more than a week to dry it up. Leave dark spot on the skin but will heal when time goes by.

Only use it if tea trea oil or other not so harsh acne treatments doesn't work on you.
