PanOxyl : Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Aquagel

I'm 28 and I've suffered from acne since my teens. I've been on roaccutane 3 times which cleared my skin completely but each time my acne has returned. I am on dianette which helps but still leaves me with some moderate acne. I had tried BP as a child but it had caused my skin to flake so I hadn't tried it as an adult. However, my skin has been a bit better recently so I thought I'd try BP again whilst my skin wasn't too angry. I started with a VERY light film and after a couple of days noticed my skin improving. I haven't needed a moisturiser at all but I have one on stand by. Even though I've only been using a week, my skin has dramatically improved: new spots are smaller and clearing up quickly; overall my skin tone (previously quite red) has improved. I still use quite a light film and apply am and pm after washing with soap and water. I've also stopped using make up during the day. I feel confident that in another week my skin will be just about clear, and I will report back!

I love this product! I get quite a few white heads and this clears them up and keeps them at bay. When I ran out of it and therefore didn't use any for about a fortnight my skin got bad again but cleared up quickly again when I got a new one. The only thing I would say is you really have to avoid using dark coloured towels when you use it because they get bleached, and it also bleached a pair of my jeans. Really worth using though!

Long story short, had real bad acne in my teens, used Accutane to clear it which worked. End of last year and after about 3 years of clear skin my acne came back with a vengeance, at the age of 21 going on 22. It progressively got worse without my knowing, and it wasn't by christmas when I realized it was so bad I need to start actually treating this now. Over xmas I tried ineffective home-made attempts to clear my skin, such as taking high doses of vitamin d, rubbing baking soda and apple cider vinegar on my face. Nothing worked, and my spots got worse. In the new year I bought a skin lamp for £100 on ebay, and I followed the instructions to the letter but there was little to no improvement. In April I started using this in the regime and my skin got horribly bad. My skin would turn a crimson red and it looked like i was horribly burnt. After dealing with this highly embarrassing period that I often contemplated stopping using it, but I soldiered on and now at the end of June my skin no longer burns after application, it's smooth and I have no more 'active' spots. My face is far from looking perfect as I still have all the red blemishes and marks left behind, however I feel so much better knowing it can only get better from here. This will definitely help you if you stick to the regimen, I did have what I considered to be bad acne (cheeks constantly red all over with papules) and it was more than the odd spot here and there, and if it worked for me I'm sure it will work for others.

If you are hopeless.. then this is the best product for you...

Since I live in the UK, I couldn't get Dan's Acne Treatment without some extra delivery costs of 50$ or so, and that wasn't worth it for me. So I checked the internet and found this distributed on Amazon in a 3-pack for a fairly cheap prize. I've been going with Dan's Regimen (combining it with Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and Moisturizing Lotion) and am happy to recommend this product. It really helps. I've been using it now for almost a month, and my face has considerably cleared up. I recommend to use a make-up sponge to apply the moisturizer, and sort of dab it on, so it won't mix so much with the BP. Otherwise the moisturizer will be hard to spread and leave a white trace on your face for about 15 min or so, until it's absorbed. In general: If you can't get Dan's products, go ahead and order this!

I am so glad to have found this product. When I first started using it my acne started to clear and now - a couple months later - I finally feel confident with my skin! The downside is that it will stain clothes. I ruined a good shirt with it before. But I would happily ruin 1000 more shirts so long as I don't have acne. Haha

I have never suffered from bad acne before, however it seemed that no matter what I tried I ALWAYS had a few obvious spots! After reading many reviews I decided that benzoyl peroxide was worth trying out. The first thing that I can tell you from my experience is that the initial drying process was not as severe as I was expecting, and I never experienced any peeling or redness, although my skin did feel quite tight for the first week or so- moisturizing is essential! And the best bit.... my skin was far clearer by the end of the first week and the few spots that creep up now are much smaller than I was used to!! I would strongly recommend this product, I realise that many of you might experience worse side effects than me, however the results will make it all worth while!

Great stuff - you just have to get over the initial side-effects - this is the gel working. Would be better to start treatment when you can stay in the house for 2-3 days with no make-up and have the time to moisturise, moisturise moisturise!! Bought mineral foundation and concealer - used a light dusting of mineral powder. Skin looks much brighter and overall very impressed. Will keep using the gel.

cheaper way of getting clear and works just as well as dans bp and a lot better than the oxy on the spot crap available in the UK.

PLEASE BE PERSISTANT! Do not give up! The dryness does go away and spots do disappear if you give it time (about a month). I am 21 now but never had spots during puberty. Then when i became 18 i suddenly started getting big red sore spots (inflammatory acne) and it got worse as time went on. Ive tried many things, but this is the only thing that keeps my chin clear! Im on antibiotics aswell but i need panoxyl to keep me completely clear (espescially before my period). Plus doctor told me using benzoyl peroxide helps prevent resistance to antibiotics therefore using them together is a really good idea!
