Pros:

Really helps keep me clear when used 3 times a day. I use morning, afternoon, and night and my skin had never been better.

Cons:

Can be dying but I use 100% aloe vera gel to combat that.

It works!! Give it a try.

BE CAREFUL THIS IS DESTRUCTIVE
If I can help prevent what happened to my face from this product for even one other person, I will feel good. I used this product on moderate acne, mostly whiteheads and some pustules. I became obsessed with the idea of making my skin peel to regenerate new skin and cover up the bumps, so i overdosed on this fiv times last year with a few months in between each use. I should have known to stop when my face got so tight that i could not smile or eat, and i was getting terrible wrinkles around the eyes. the last time i used it, for hyperpigmentation on the sides of my face, it made them deep purple and swollen, and six months later theya re still all purple and red! although this discoloration has faded a lot, my face is destroyed in these areas.also, i now have crepey and crinkly skn on my forehead from this product if you look up close in certain light. my forehead skin has been permanently dry and wont produce oil, yet i am still getting zits. be careful if you use this, do NOT overdose! do not keep it on for a long time and do not repeat it several times each day. do not hurt yourself liek i did. worst decision of my life.

Pros:

gets rid of some acne...kind of

Cons:

burns
acne causing ingredients

this stuff is alright..not the best...it actually burned my skin and i wouldnt regard my skin as sensitive. definitely work your way up to it. according to paula begoun it had really really harsh cleansers and has ingredients in it that can actually aggravate acne. i mean i have used 10 percent bp before in an ointment form without such adverse reaction...strange..

Pros:

This is a great product! The only thing that has worked for me. I would recommend it to anyone.

Cons:

Dries out skin and takes out color in skin in the summer months. But it is resolved from using a moisturizing self tanning lotion every 3 or 4 times I use the bar

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 :)

Pros:

Helps with excessive oily skin

Cons:

I seem to be a little red/blotchy on my face

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!

BP or Sulfur for Acne?
I started using this soap and it worked in the beginning however my skin didn't react well to BP. So my Dermatologist recommended using a different active ingredient such as sulfur. He suggested using Joesoef Skin Care Sulfur soap 10%. After the first day I can see and feel the difference in my complexion. It's been 3 weeks now and my break outs have diminished even during my pms which is amazing. I've also added into my skin regimen their Joesoef Acne Sulfur 6.6% drying lotion, which I use as a spot treatment targeting my break out areas. I leave it on overnight for maxium affect. These Sulfur products are a must have and worth every penny. I haven't been back to my Dermatologist in months.

Pros:

.....to tell you the truth, none. Other than the 'okay' price and how it did dry out some pimples.

Cons:

Dries out skin! Need to moisturize!
Causes immense irritation and redness
Didn't help a lot in the long run. Didn't help with blackheads :c

Not a very good product. Ruined sensitive areas on my face. The price is okay but could be better. My face dried out a lot and flakiness and peeling set in. Blackheads stayed!!! Not a gentle choice. Really, not worth it.

Pros:

perfect for shower

Cons:

none

it helps with the break outs i get on my back. i strongly recommend this stuff. use it once a day in the morning when you shower. I think if it was used twice a day it would be too harsh on the skin.

Pros:

~Clears up acne...FAST.
~Inexpensive.
~Found at local drug stores.

Cons:

~Dries out skin horribly if not used with a great moisturizer. I found Aveeno worked well for me,

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