PanOxyl : Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Aquagel

I've used this BP and others for well over a year now. For the past four months I've solely been using this benzoyl peroxide and it did work in overcoming acne albeit slowly. However, it would leave my skin VERY dry and red and I found myself utterly devastated by the sight of my own skin. Even after several months I couldn't reduce my acne to below 4 or 5 active spots (with a heck of a lot of red marks). I wanted to persevere with the regimen so I switched to Daniel Kern's BP and wow - what a difference. I didn't realise until this point how extremely drying the panoxyl made my skin in comparison to a superior BP. My self-esteem shot up as (even though I still had acne) my skin looked 100% healthier. I've only been on the DK BP a total of 4 days but the improvement to my skin is significant and my acne is clearing FAST. Would NOT recommend Panoxyl, it's just a shame that Daniel Kern's BP is so expensive to get ahold of in the UK.

This stuff has done wonders for my skin in just a few weeks: I started with a very small amount am and pm but by the second week my skin was becoming seriously dry. I started using BP pm and jojoba oil am. Now I use a reasonable amount of BP am and pm, and jojoba oil on top of the BP am, and now my skin is almost clear and not dry. I've tried loads of drugs on prescription and over the counter meds but this is the only stuff that has worked besides roaccutane (which didn't work for long). My acne got me really down and I'm so happy to have "normal" skin again :)

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...

Really dries out sensitive skin, even when moisturizer is used. To see the full effect a lot has to be applied, which isnt viable as the more you put on the more irritating it becomes. I would recommend this to people with oily skin, but for pale/sensitive skin forget it.

I just put it o my face. the first time ive ever used it. I like the reviews and i can feel a bit of burning/tingling. My face doesnt go red as im black but it does feel sensative.

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
