Pros:

It really works. My skin is more clean and fresh-looking. My acnes aren't COMPLETELY gone though.

Cons:

Ok... this didn't happen to me until TODAY. MY FACE BURNS SO MUCH. I have used this stuff before... like a few months ago. Same thing happened to me after I used it for about 5-6 days. I tried it again this time and it happened again.

My face definitely improved, however I don't think I'm going to try it for the third time. I mean it burns my skin. First time, my skin was so dry, but the second time I used some moisturizer.. so that prevented from occurring. Anyway... I think I'm gonna try to find something that is more natural...something that won't burn my skin. Hopefully there is one, cause I absolutely HATE acnes. I mean... who doesn't?

Pros:

i got this product by prescription by my local doctor, it clears your acne fast and effectively.

Cons:

I think the doctor had a grudge against me, a way of tryin 2 prescribe me something that would BURN my f****** face off ! this stuff is lethal i tell you, if you have sensitive skin then dont use it ! it turns your face SO dry and flaky

from wat i see this proudct has ad the same reiew over and over again e.g - dry flaky burnt side effects, i dont even no why this stuff is rated to b the best treatment 4 acne cuz reely its like puttin f****** acid on yuor face.i used it 4 bout a week and my face was bone dry with big brown patches of dry dead skin....took alot of vaseline to get my face bak in shape, but after, it was nice n smooth, BUT never again will i use this loada sh*t cuz it just aint worth lookin like a dry ballsac wen u wana go out and enjoy yourself.

Pros:

Gets rid of spots, mild acne

Cons:

Harsh on skin
Will leave red marks if you have pale/sensitive skin

I think there should be a warning somewhere stating that benzoyl peroxide is not as suitable for those with very pale skins - as I think although it does get rid of spots, it is harsh and leaves lingering red marks behind

Pros:

It did manage to get rid of some spot scars that were persistent. I had adult acne which is now gone no thanks to Panoxyl... But it did strip away a layer of skin that had old scars on it leaving the area smoother, but did nothing for my acne.

Cons:

Dried my face even after using loads of face cream, made it look like I had scaly skin and was a burns victim.. after using panoxyl I had been left with more spots.

I HAD adult acne, I tried everything there was, I also tried panoxyl for a few months. I shouldnt of used it for that long but the forum here said to be persistent so see maximum benefits... but It just got worse, where ever I used the product, new spots occurred and my skin begun to look old like it was much better suited to some one who was 80 not 30! I stopped using the product and researched alot into what caused acne, I spent ages in front of the pc and my head in books. I changed my diet, I cut out caffeine, wheat, dairy, and cut down on sugar, I started taking Zinc, B5, iron, Vit C, multiVits, and clear complexion tablets, I drink loads of water2 and now I look and feel so much better for it, once my acne scars go there will be no evidence that I had acne! My figure has also changed and I now have a washboard stomach, I work for a health and fitness company and I am also doing a nutrition course as I believe that you can truly alter your appearance by altering your di

Pros:

Dries out spots very effectively, removes all oiliness from skin

Cons:

Made my skin VERY red and made (healing) spots look even more inflamed than when they were new. I have been moisturizing with Eucerin about 5 times a day and my skin is still flaking in sheets.

I think if you have skin that is so oily it's slick, and that is the cause of your acne, this will definitely help clear you up and dry you out. I am 28 and my acne is hormonal/stress induced (only on either side of my chin, not even in the middle, and no where else on my face) and I am somewhat fair and I now have very dry, painful blotches around my mouth. My spots are somewhat smaller, but they seem more obvious because of the redness.

Pros:

Good smell to it.
Cheap

Cons:

Makes your skin RED RAW, whcih for people like me, who have pale British skin isn't nice to look at! Looks like iv'e been sun burnt around my mouth.

It is a good product, I've been using it for 3 days now and my forehead had cleared up quite a bit. Not liking the redness though! :(

Pros:

sort of prevents new spots

Cons:

seriously red, irritated and dry skin months after using it and spots still coming.

i have mild - moderate acne and it works to prevent spots in some areas of my face but in others they just keep coming and i have been using it for 2months + !! my skin is so red and tight and discoloured from it - i may switch to only using it at night and see what happens. dissapointed with it really though :( however, i know alot of people have had a lot of success with it. Maybe my skin is just too sensitive. I recommend to try it and see otherwise you won't know.

Pros:

Clears Redness
MAY clear spots.

Cons:

Dries skin.

I got prescribed this as since i was about 13 ive had quite bad acne, im only 16, and its knocking my confidence as it would anybody. I got prescribed it on Monday then used it till now. Wednesday, Ive been putting it on a night.. I cant say ive noticed any massive improvements yet, other than drying my skin, but i can say it has taken some of the redness away, and I dont see any new spots forming. my acne prone areas are WAY dry and are peeling a bit.. Ive been using E45 cream for that over some antibiotics I was given by my doctor.
