Pros:

clears spots almost straight away tried hundreds of creams over the past 13 years only one that works and so cheap when i think of the probably thousands i have spent on creams and treatments in the past amazing

Cons:

does dry skin but can now use any moisturiser as they dont make my skin falr up at all flaky skin for the first few days i can cope with better than being self conscious about a huge spot just carry moisturiser with you and apply when you need to

i would recomend this cream to anyone for acne i have suffered for years if only i'd have known about this before and comes in three different strengths go for 2.5 or 5 if your skin is not that bad but if your on here looking for treatments it must be bad enough to bother you so go straight for the 10 you will know if it is too harsh for you then either apply every other day or choose a lower dose. Bottom line is buy it you have nothing to loose as it is soo cheap i got a 40g tube for £2.95 and it'll last you for months. try it and give your confidence a boost get back to being YOU!

Pros:

The best there is out there especially for black skin. Proactive is useless, tried proactive for about a month with no visible improvement. Tried Panoxyl for a week and i started seeing changes

Cons:

Might make your skin dry and flaky, but the flakes goes away in like 3-5 days and the skin under becomes clear.

USE THIS PRODUCT!!!!

So far, so good!
First night of wearing, woken up with cyst-like spots dramatically reduced in size, all the others look and feel a lot calmer, as well as no new breakouts. Like I say, so far - so good! Can't wait to continue seeing the results of this product.

Don't Overuse!
This product could really dry me out. The first few nights I used it I woke up and my skin was super dry and flaky. I decided to start using it very minimally, as a spot treatment. Putting just a tiny dab on any pimples I have. I think it helps speed up the drying and healing process of the pimples.

No Doubt
Alrighty, Here's the Scoop in a nutshell: 10% Benzoyl Peroxide is very drying, however effective. I will never say no to something that works. Just use a good moisturizer. However, I always recommend a 5-2.5% BP (Preferably 2.5%) because it does great work, the same actually, and no dryness. Plus you can spread it all over your face after using a SA Cleanser and apply Moisturizer and your set to be acne free! -Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash -2.5% Neutrogena BP -Aveeno Non-Comodegenic Moisturizer (or any good moisturizer) I struggle with blackheads and larger pimples and it works well!

To all those who say it stops working: It doesn't but the dryness makes it too dry to get under the skin to treat the acne. Use a moisturizer!

hi there, i just wanna ask after applying this product should i wash or just let it be before applying my moisturizer?
January 6, 2017
Hey, how long do you wait after applying the medication to put the moisturizer?
November 28, 2017
Maybe the combination with the Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash is not helping either with the dryness because it has salicyclic acid and at least on my case, is very drying to my skin so much that even gave me hyperpigmentation around my mouth.

Great item
I would really recommend this to you. My friend told me about this and I tried a lot of things but this really worked. I've been taking a bacteria pill prescribed by my doctor and also used epiduo. It really changed my acne in 6-8 weeks

Pros:

Cleared up every zit on my face!
Cheap
Easy to use

Cons:

Bleaches pillow/towels
Dries out skin a lot.

I love it. I scrub my face before bed and apply this stuff to sleep in (on my t-zone, in a broad area). In the morning I scrub my face again (helps remove dead skin caused by the drying out) and use light moisturizer and make-up. I haven't had a zit in a month!! Have been trying to find something good for 10 years! PS - I only have light acne. Will usually have one or two big zits. This cleared it up totally.

Pros:

only thing that worked for me!!!

Cons:

the first month, skin gets fairly dry!!! How else are you suppose to kill the bacteria!

I LOVE the Panoxylgel10%,I HAD moderate acne The first couple of weeks it made my face really dry to the point that i couldn't even smile, but I was putting a lot. I wanted to get rid of the acne sooner so i didn't really care. It only says to put it once at night time but I put it on twice a day, at night I'd put a lot and in the morning just a little less. Invest in a oil free moisturizer, i was first using the clean and clear softw/Spf15.but don't put the moisturizer all over your face, just the edges of ur face and around the eyes and smile crease, because u want to let the skin breath. I also am using the TANDA skincare blue light, another skin saver, paid 200 but it's my own home system and one time purchase and if i were to get a blue light treatment at a spa it cost 100per treatment, really worth the money. After 2months my face was almost clear, i was in shock and u will be too.Also Buy the proactiv mask, great to reduce redness. Now my faceisALLClEAR,hardworkbutworth@end
