Pros:

has made some improvement in the amount of spots. but since i started using panoxl ive started to use mosturizer i dont know if thats making the improvement also.

Cons:

very dry! especialy after being in the shower, but not too bad when use moisturizer aswell. extreemly red rash has ocured where cream has been aplied almost worse than having spots dont know if i should stop using it or persist with the treatement.

has worked to a certain extent but the side effects of the cream is very extreme in my case anyway. i will try using less to see if the redness subsides but i fear alough it works i may have to stop using it. recommend it even just to try.

Pros:

works wonders

Cons:

face can get quite dry, use a strong moisturizer

i have had acne for 6 years, since i was around 11 years old. after many different anti-biotics i was feeling ready to give up. my friend had a tube of 2.5% bp she wasnt using so i asked her if could have it as i'd heard it was quite good. within a week & a half of using it i am so much happier with my skin. i finally feel confident & my skin is not ruling my life. thankyou bp!

Pros:

Dried up my oil. Pimples disappear quickly. Less blackheads and new pimples. Smoothed out skin tone. AWESOME!!

Cons:

Does cause slight dryness and itchyness!
This wasn't severe for me though because my skin is super, duper, oily.

If you have dry skin, you better use a moisturizer... other than that.. this is the best product I've ever used!!!

Pros:

Excellent product that clears skin very effectively. Highly suitable for mild to moderate acne, particularly if skin is reasonably hardy. Consistent use produces smooth, glowing skin and also appears to reduce size of pores. Thoroughly recommended.

Cons:

May not be suitable for overly sensitive skin. Can cause irritation in first stages: redness, dry skin and stinging. Side-effects particularly marked around eyes. Bleaches coloured fabrics and hair. Tube is small considering large volumes used on DKR

An excellent product for mild to moderate acne. Particularly suitable for oily skin that is not sensitive. Recommend small volume usage at early stages, graduating to full amount after three weeks. Moisturiser is essential following application.

Pros:

I really belive this stuff works.

Cons:

My skin looks leathery, and is dry! I never thought I would see the day that my skin is dry because I have oily skin. My face is peeling here and there but it doesn't look so bad when I put on some moisturizer.

The drying effect is not so bad, actually, because like I said I have oily skin. I use Clean&Clear Oil-Free moisturizer and that helps a lot. I only have mild acne to start with, mostly blackheads and whiteheads. I have breakouts every once in a while but nothing serious. I have noticed that the pores on my cheeks are getting smaller!! My skin is definitely improving. It looks smoother to me and I think that in a few more weeks it will be very clear :)

Pros:

Cleared fast, VERY few side effects, excellent stuff.

Cons:

After 4 days I started to get a LITTLE flaking by the bottom of my lip.

First BP I've tried, always used salicylic before finding this site. I checked in 2 stores, and they only had two kinds of BP, so I tried this stuff. After 2 days I noticed HUGE improvements in my skin. By 4-5 days my skin was almost completely cleared. Kind of odd. I didnt get any side effects anyone else did. My skin is somewhat oily, but due to working outside in the cold all the time it still gets dry and flaky at times. When I got this BP I also got some Cetaphil moisturizer, and have had VERY minimal drying since. I havent gotten any scars from this product either. All in all, AWESOME product. If you have dry skin naturally, I'd say maybe try somethign else first. Otherwise, this stuff is amazing.

Pros:

- Gel Base
- cheap!
- comes in good sized tube!
- water base vs alcohol

Cons:

- Grainy
- sticky when putting on and throughout the day
- doesnt mix well with moisturizer

So we all know BP is drying, and this one is no different so im not going to complain about side effect associated with BP. It has a grainy texture, its difficult to spread around, it feel sticky when you put it on and throughout the day(if u dont moisturize) when apply moisturizer you have to apply alot as because the face is so sticky it doesnt allow the moisturizer to spread around easily!! its alot easier to spread then its 5% cousin but it comes in a good sized tube, its in a water base, its gel form, and its cheap so 4.0 stars. i will continue to use it unless i find something that spreads easier and similar size/value

Pros:

It does clear spots, fragrance free, very cheap

Cons:

Very thick gel that drys really tight on skin. Also skin is very very very red and flakey

This stuff does clear acne...however after a few days of use you go red as a tomato and really really flakey...parts of my skin were as rough as sandpaper no jokes! But if u cant put up with it, it will work on spots. I hate the fact its a really thick gel tho....so im trying quinoderm 5 cus its a cream with anticeptic in it so it shud be gentler..will update

Pros:

Pros: im a big fan of this site and told a friend about it. neutrogena BP isnt available here in d philippines so i had no choice but to try Panoxyl 2.5%. im on my 2nd week now and it works ok. i can see improvement. zits are gone.

Cons:

makes ur skin red and itchy for the first few days of application. i used Neutrogena moisture w/ SPF 15 and it worked fine.

i used Panoxyl 3 yrs ago and it cleared my skin for 6mos. after i graduated in College, my pimples were back. i used Panoxyl again but it didnt work. now im trying my luck again. i just thought of trying it. following Dan's procedure this time. i hope my skin will not get used to this product. 'coz before, my skin became clear after using (2) 10mg tubes
