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:

works!

Cons:

drys skin a little so you have to apply moisturiser but not straight after you apply it or it wont work as well! if you have sensitive or dry skin only apply it once a day, mine was perscribed to me by my doctor so i know i have the right treatment!

works well, just don't apply it as much if you have sensitive or dry skin!

Pros:

I have been using it for a day and i can already feel my skin improving (my skin has somewhat become tightened and a few pimples have dired up) I havent been using this product for long but think this just might work.IM HAPPY for now

Cons:

none(it sounds werid but its true) i guess its because i have used so many products before like glycolic pads and stuff that were really storng to my skin I also had GEl PEEl treatments.maybe thats why my skin is not getting iritated nor red

This product might just work.I like the first day results. (it might not work that much for people who have not yet exspose themselves to "hard-core" product,because they might be irritated or so .)

Pros:

I use panoxyl acnegel 2.5 for a month now. So far it works wonders on my skin. It clears up my whitehead and blackhead. Apply before bed and wake up with smooth skin.

Cons:

Make skin so itchy. Need to apply rosehip oil and moisturizer again and again throughout the day.

Great product to replace neotregena bp 2.5 as i couldn't find it anywhere at local drugstore.

Pros:

it does relieve acne in just 2-3 days.. it's so effective for teens like me..

Cons:

-It makes your skin sooooo flaky(But, its good for you if you have a very good moisturizer to civer it up)..

The flaking effect takes a few days( several fo some cases) But, no need to worry cause it reduces skin's oiliness and it's KILLING acne in a good way =P

Pros:

Less whiteheads & smoother skin. The whitheads disappeared within 3 days, and havent returned! I have quite fair skin, and it actually made my face quite tanned. I also like the fact the product is more or less unscented.

Cons:

Very dry skin during the first 2 weeks. You must use a moisturiser. You must increase the dosage slowly, otherwise your skin will become very sensitive and incredibly dry.

You need to be patient, your skin won't become perfect overnight. The dry skin is a pain, but I would prefer to have dry skin to very oily skin! In my opinion I think the benefits are well worth the side effects such as dry skin. It's very cheap to buy in the UK (about £3 although I got mine free on prescription basis)Overall I would recommend that everyone should try it, I think its a brilliant product!

Pros:

It works !!!!!

Cons:

Does dry skin but a good moistuizer wiull take care oif that

This product is rather harsh on the skin, it does work if you use it for a couple of months so dont expect miracles overnight , give the product a chance to work. Examine your skin after 3 weeks of use and ask yourself if your skin has improved at all , if so keep on using it but if you dont see any improvments then i would stop using it.Your spots may get worse before they get better but the odd breakout you have on using this product will quickly clear up.

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:

Really helps oily skin and de-angries pimples.

Cons:

Causes peeling + redness initially.

I think you just need to give your skin extra time to adjust to this product. I jumped in the deep end, put too much on and ended up looking like a flaky satsuma plum... I didn't have bad cheeks acne wise, so I stopped using it on them for a while but broke out; I started with a tiny tiny tiny amount and very sneakily buit up to the full amount, which now doesn't bother my skin in the slightest. My forehead didn't seem to mind so much, was full of gunk, I think the PanOxyl was spending it's time attacking my acne and not irritating my skin =D My skin is getting exponentially better now that I've found an balanced and amicable relationship with my PanOxyl :)
