PanOxyl : Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Aquagel

i used this product and love it it was amazing it cleared acne off but too sad i guess it was discontinue nowhere to found

Pan Oxyl 2.5% Aqua Gel was the only 2.5% BP gel I could find in the UK. I used it following Dan's Regime for about 5 months in total, using it morning and evening for 3 of those months, then just evening for 2 months. I found it was effective at clearing my face acne, however I also found it aged my skin quite a lot. I used moisturiser twice a day also- so it wasn't that my skin was dry, it just looked old and rough and lost its 'glow'. After 3 months of the twice a day application I thought I'd try just once a day, which did improve the condition of my skin (i.e. less ageing) but it wasn't so effective on my acne, and I got more spots. I am in my mid 30s though- and maybe because I am a bit older than many acne sufferers the 'ageing' part of it was more concerning for me. I would definitely recommend it for younger people though.

I've been using this product for a few months now and it's been amazing to my skin! Within a week after using it I saw a significant improvment with my acne. For the first time in years I have clear skin. I use a small amount each night after taking a hot shower and it seems to work great. However, it dries the skin a lot. It's got to the point where I have to carry moisturizer with me where ever I go (which is not ideal for a guy). But when I miss just one night of using it, I wake up with more pimples. So I'd rather stick with it.

I have to admit that I always talked down this product as my memories of it are from about 10 years ago before I incorporated it into the regimen. I started using it as back up for when I ran out of Dans stuff but I can see myself moving over to this full time. I just like the consistency a bit more and it seems to work just as well.

This really works! I started using the regimen years ago and my skin has been pretty clear, although not absolutely; there are always one or two spots when I'm using this...however, if I don't use it, my face is covered in them. I do get complacent and start using it less and the difference is obvious. Last week I went 2 weeks without any BP at all and I had the worst breakout in my life, my entire face was covered in sore pustules, whiteheads, blackheads, cysts and bumps. I couldn't believe the withdrawal symtoms. I'm really angry at myself for stopping it because now I have to start the regimen again from scratch. It's been 3 days and the improvement has been massive, although my skin is red, itchy and dry I can see that the big ones have shrunk to almost normal proportions. The coolest thing is that all the gunk under the skin is coming out of my pores like it is being purged. I also like Dan's BP but this one has less fumes and is cheaper for me in the UK. Overall, I recommend this.

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

Living in the UK I am unable to buy Dan's BP because the P&P is so expensive. Panoxyl is probably the easiest BP gel to obtain in the UK, and its pretty cheap. Looking at the forums, users seem pretty divided and either love it or hate it. The bottom line is that it works (for me), but it is seriously drying! My advice to people in the UK starting the regimen is that Panoxyl is fine to use, just don't make the mistake that I did by starting off with loads. I had been on Duac for months before starting Panoxyl, but it still destroyed my skin. Start off slowly with a decent moisturiser (and maybe Jojoba oil) and you'll be fine.

i've only used it for 1 week but i can already see improvements!!! i tried alot of products but this seems to be the best SO FAR. TRY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CANT STRESS THIS ENOUGH! the side effects are minimal and well worth it

this is a very good product overall. the cons are far outweighed by a trifecta of pros -- it dries clear, is the right percentage BP, and really works! just be sure to start extra slowly -- or get used to being an itchy tomato-face for a week.

I've been using this for around 5 years now and it has cleared my skin no doubt. Every year or so I try to wean myself off, only to break out something sinister!! I'm back on it again after a really nasty break out, and initially getting used to it is the worst part. I suggest starting out with a very small amount, nowhere near what Dan uses in his videos. And ALWAYS ALWAYS wait for it to fully dry before moisturising. That really is key to this being effective. I noticed that my skin was really oily on this, so now I only use it at night. I stopped using it altogether and my face was nowhere near as greasy, but then I broke out. So now I'm just using it once a day. It does work, you just have to figure out the dosage that works for you, and make sure you're using it right, with lots of moisturiser.
