PanOxyl : Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Bar

Didn't dry out my skin. This is the only product that has helped my acne. They also make a foaming face wash in %10 strength, but I don't think it works as well as the bar. I love this stuff, it's currently unavalable until September for reformulation. I can't wait, because I'm completly out =/

This is all I use for acne management. I thought I had tried everything on the market for acne, but could never get rid of my cysts. Well, one day I went to the urgent care for pink eye, and while I was there the doctor saw my face and just wrote me a script for acne. She also said to wash with benzoyl peroxide. Needless to say I tried the bar. For having a sensitive face, my skin does well with this product. I occasionally get the one cystic acne (especially during my cycle) but it is not all over my face as previously. This bar is drying so I only use it once every other day (and use a bar of Aveeno on my "off" days to remove makeup. It has caused my skin to itch at first, but that was quickly remedied by a good moisturizer (Aveeno Ultra-Calming). I use this bar in the shower to avoid unnecessary bleaching of clothing, and I pull my hair back also. I am greatful to the LORD ALMIGHTY to have a product that works so well. Rather than be fustrated I actually get comments on my clear skin from customers at work. btw for those of you who have noticed that this product is no longer on the shelves, I called the manufacturer and they are just switching plants, and it should be available again in or around September. In the meantime feel free to do what I did is called several Walgreens (or any store) and stock up!

Definitely recommended! Plus, you can find it at grocery stores and don't have to belong to a "plan" like ProActiv or MaxClarity.

Great product, cheap, but watch out, dries badly. Make sure to wear sunscreen if you're going to go out.

This has been by far the most effective acne treatment I've ever used! My acne cleared slightly when I was on birth control, but after coming off it's gotten much worse. After using this for just 4 days 1-2 times a day I've already seen a big improvement. I have no new breakouts, blackheads and redness are both gone, and pimples are shrinking. I had been using a face mask with 3.5% BP, but it was not doing much at all for me. This has not caused drying for me like others have reported, but I still apply a moisturizer after using PanOxyl. My skin is not very oily to begin with, but not dry either.

I used this product a long time ago after my couse with accutane. It kept my skin clear and kept the oilyness at bay. Best product i've ever used. Dermatologest recommended it. I didn't have to worry about going to a skin doctor ever again. Over the years I strayed and my skin is no bueno. So now Iam back on the one product that has actually kept my skin under control. I will update when as time goes on. So those with dry skin do not use this cause it will dry you out. And those with oily skin this should do the trick in controlling the oily and keeping skin clear.

Once you figure out how much your skin can tolerate this strong medication you will figure out how often you can use the product. I used it once a day at first and now I use it 2-3 times a day. My skin use to 'get use to' other products because other products would only work for 6 months and then they wouldn't work anymore... haven't had that problem anymore with using Panoxyl. I will never have to switch to another product :)

I suffered from acne with large, painful red pimples deep in my skin usually every other week. I started using Panoxyl and at first it didn't seem to do much but I have been using it for 10 months now and I have only had one of those horrible bumps since, I also have EXTREMELY oily skin and this seems to help with that as well. The only thing is you must use every day, if you stop using it for just a couple days your acne will come back much worse.

I have tried so many things for excess oily face, I dont have acne but very, very oily skin and this has helped, the first time I used it though, it stung my face a little and the next morning I had like drying, peeling skin...after that I used it only where needed and its ok now but I feel like now I see red blotches on my face, I dont know if its just me or if Im breaking out....but no more oil on my face!

its a really good product for people who have acne and salylic acid doesnt work for them. for the people who say it really dries them out, try using vitmain e oil on afteryou wash your face. once you put that on, ALL the dryness is gone!! and vitamin e oil is really good for your skin becuase it will fade your scars
