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:

This is a good cream. It cleared my skin up and removed the black spots from my recently popped pimples. My skin looks ah-mazing! And i used it yesterday too. my first time ever. =)

Cons:

It makes you skin ah-little itchy. May cause a little dryness. You have to use moisturizer such as Neutrogena Moisturizer.

It works ah-mazingly good! =)

Pros:

been using this for about four days & i have definitely seen a difference. i'm on the dianette pill & have been for two months - been told to wait another one before that starts taking affect. the cream has been a life saver.

Cons:

i have quite an itchy face & my face can get quite dry. however use a good moisturizer & you'll be fine. :)

your face going quite red after you've applied it can be expected when you first start using it so dont worry! this cream has been the first thing to work for me in months.

Pros:

Within the first few uses, i saw a difference. Everyone noticed how well by face was clearing up - even though it did look sunburnt!

Cons:

Goes red, dry and flakey but calms down within weeks if you use moisturizer

My face was red and very dry - but only because i used it twice a day. Because it did this to my skin i stoped using it for a few days and my spots came back so i decided to use it again only this time i applied it once a day like it says on the instructions lol. If you do stop using this product your spots come back which is why its recommended you use it for over 3 months and use a really good moisturizer such as palmers cocoa butter which also has vitimin E in it (: now my skin is really good.

Pros:

Usually ive got relatively clear skin for a teenager, with a few flaws here and there, but when i do get a breakout, its really really bad. PanOxyl really killed the affected areas, in a relatively short period of time.

Cons:

PanOxyl dried out my skin, and no matter how much moisturiser i put on it looked red, inflamed - felt like extreme sunburn. definately do NOT use it more than once a day!!!

Use it once a day maximum.

Pros:

Glides well, dries up minor comedones but inflames cystic ones. For cystic ones, you need patience with this product, PanOxyl still cures it though. If you feel irritated to go in public with the redness, try a blemish concealer stick that's oil free

Cons:

Redness that looks like sunburn on cystic acne. Slight stinging during the 15 minutes waiting for it to dry.

Great! Better than 4%, 5% and 10%. I use it with Olay Complete for Sensitive SPF15 and it's wonderful.

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

Pros:

Clears up acne, glides on nicely.

Cons:

Not really suitable for use with Dan's regimen (consistency too thick).

This product has really worked for me. I use it once a day before I go to bed and rinse it off in the morning and it does wonders. However, I would not recommend using it twice a day as it can be very drying or irritate those with sensitive skin.

Pros:

At first got rid of some spots and less breakouts

Cons:

Dried up the skin, making it red and flaky.
At one point, when I applied onto my cheeks the next morning, my cheeks were COMPLETELY red, as though it was sunburnt...and it stayed like that for a bout 1month and a half? Was horrible going to scho

Don't use too much, use in small doses on the acne area. By the way, the amount i paid for is in POUNDS (2.50) which isn't too bad i guess

Pros:

skin looks better after first use; not neccessarily clearer, but better. after about two weeks you will notice that less new spots are occuring.

Cons:

i almost gave up on this because i developed a rash under my bottom lip because of this. but if you rinse well, and make sure none is left on, you should be able to avoid red irritated flaking skin. try using it in the shower.

good stuff. make sure to rinse well. It doesnt eliminate acne, but it does control it pretty well. my skin looks better than before.
