PanOxyl : Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Aquagel

This worked well for a few weeks but then I ended up getting bigger and extremely sore spots. Dried out my skin and no amount of moisturiser could cure it! Might work for other people but did nothing for me. I'd recommend using lemon juice instead.

Do not buy this product. Go natural instead. I've started to- Egg White face masks - simply spread the egg whites over face and let it dry. Wash my face with porridge oats/oatmeal but at night I use my normal mild Olay conditioning milk cleanser to remove makeup. Drink green tea - 3-4 cups a day or two capsules. Hope these remedies work for you :) - HoldingOn.

Started the regimen just over 9 weeks ago using pan oxyl 2.5 gel. It cleared up my forehead and temples, nose and lower cheeks mostly but caused huge inflamed pustules on my upper cheeks either side of the nostrils. This continued for weeks along with a few every two weeks or so on my lower cheeks. I never felt that spots had stopped forming until I bought Dan's BP, yes it costs me three times more in postage and customs charges than in the US, but I do not care because the difference is HUGE. No more redness around eyes, no more spots even starting to form, not one! Just waiting now for previous enflamed ones on upper cheeks to calm down. No more flakiness (like a white beard before) Skin feels much smoother and less irritated, less tight and Dan's BP is like a moisturiser compared to this. Pan Oxyl is crap, utter crap, and they should be ashamed of themselves because I tried this first when I was 14 and gave up because of the irritation. If only I had tried Dan's, then maybe I would have been clear for the last 7 years!! SLS should not be allowed in facial application products and neither should the other dodgy chemicals. If you use this and your skin doesn't clear up, then it probably isn't the BP that is the problem but something else. Buy Dan's from the outset, and you should reap the rewards of the regimen far sooner and more effectively. I wish he had pushed his own products more. His honesty in not trying to make money is admirable, but I wish I had known the superiority of his products sooner. AHA+ is great as well, my skin responded perfectly to both his BP and AHA+ although I know that everyone is different.

I have never written a review before, but this product really damaged my skin. After a week of use I found my skin looked burnt and was really red. I immediatly stopped use. My GP has now put me on Tetralysal lymecycline 300mg Hard Capsules, so i am trying that out.

After using birth control for years to control my acne I decided to stop for a few months and see if my skin could handle it. About a month in the acne and oily skin I'd had before going on the pill came back, and after researching options and reading all the positive reviews I started using PanOxyl 2.5. Firstly, I should say to anyone starting out on it, be sure to only use it once a day at first or it will dry your skin out BADLY and cause flaking. I overdid it and learned this the hard way. I did find though that it immediately helped with my acne and reduced the oiliness of my skin. I kept using it over the course of a couple months (eventually back up to twice a day) but after that first week my acne was back, and though my skin and zits were drier, I still had a lot of acne. The zits also didn't really heal. The entire time I was using the PanOxyl it almost seemed like my skin was too dry of damaged to regenerate. The zits would turn into dark dry spots and never went away enough to stop covering them with make up. My overall complexion became dull and I felt that I looked much older than I did off of the PanOxyl. In the end I was really disappointed with the product, especially after reading the positive reviews, because I very much hoped that it would work great for me. I discontinued using the PanOxyl and went back onto my birth control. It was a failed experiment that left me with by far the worst period of acne I'd had in over 10 years.

I will never use this cream again and i suggest those of u with sensitive skin dnt either
