Pros:

Works good cleared up my skin, acne free for two years. I love this stuff.

Cons:

Drys up your skin and can cause some peeling.

PanOxyl 10% can be harsh at first, so I recommend you first try the 5% bar (just ask the Pharmacist to order it for you) until your face gets use to it and make sure you moisturize. Bottom line "It works"

Pros:

It really helps with oily skin. Helped clear up my face.

Cons:

It did dry it out a bit. Nothing you can't fix with a good moisturizer.

I think it helped quite a bit. Also, I really feel like I should share this: I've had bad acne for the longest time. I also had noticed man like hairs on me around the same time the acne popped up (I'm a woman.) I went to the doctor about this. I have too many androgens in my body. They gave me a pill and I don't have acne anymore. If you have similar symptoms, see a doctor. About one in every 10 women have a hormone imbalance.

Pros:

Could probably work for someone who breaks out on few occassions

Cons:

Drying, haven't really noticed much of a difference in my acne

Not very impressed. I'm sure there are better washes that are less drying.

Pros:

????

Cons:

Didn't make my acne better! Extremely drying!

I have REALLY oily skin and nothing I use can possibly dry me out...at least thats what I thought! The Panoxyl bar made my face really dry. It started peeling and even moisturizers didn't really help. I couldn't even talk or smile properly because the skin around my mouth felt like it was gonna rip and bleed if I moved it to much. I stopped using it for a couple of days and my skin went back to its normal oilyness. After I started it again, I guess my became immune to its drying effects because it never dried out like that again. You just have to make sure to only use it on the your forehead cheeks and chin (or wherever else you need it). Make sure not to get it anywhere near your eyes or the area around your mouth. In the end it didn't clear me up or make my acne even temporarily better.

Pros:

Cleared my bacne

Cons:

doesn't seem to be doing anything to my face yet

I've been using this for about 2 weeks i had moderate bacne. A bunch of scars but after 2 weeks I've found that i stopped breaking out on my back. My face is just very dry after using it. I have yet to find a good solution for my face. I am currently using Baking Soda, Oxy maximum face wash, aloe face and hands soap, and cetaphil moisturizer everyday.

Pros:

Clears skin, gets rid of oilyness does what it's suppose to do

Cons:

Drys out skin a little.. Not for people with dry skin.

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.

Pros:

NONE!

Cons:

This product is horrible and overdries your skin. I would not even recomend this to my worst enemy. I was hoping that this product would be strong enough but so far its terrible

WAY To much overdrying of your skin. After I used it my skin was aching!

None!

It dried out my skin SO much. The skin around my lips is cracking so much that I can't even smile. I have tons of NEW little pimples all over my forehead and cheeks.

It's awful.
