PanOxyl : Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Aquagel

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.

stick with it n if you can put up with the dryness n redness ova first few days it will work a treat

I have very fair English skin and wasn't sure what to expect with this as most people have reported mild to severe irritation. Because I wanted to follow Dan's regimen, I bought a tube and I have used it for two days now. I can already see the difference - my skin just looks fresher somehow. I still have a few blemishes but there are whole swathes of healthier-looking skin to compensate for the "unwelcome visitors" - YAY! I even got a builders' wolf whistle yesterday (still didn't have the courage to look him in the eye though!). I don't know if it's because I'm moisturising immediately on top of the product (once it's settled in) but I have no redness or flaking and I would consider my skin to be very sensitive as there are a lot of products that I cannot use. So not having any side effects to this product is a mystery but I'm not complaining. Try it and see - you never know but go slow and build up. Good luck!

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.

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

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.

A couple of times I gave up using Panoxyl because in the first few weeks it left my skin uncomfortable, itchy and flakey. However, now I've used it continuously for around 4 months I am so glad I persevered with it. My skin is soft, smooth, clear and glowing. It hasn't been like this since I was about 10! Panoxyl is easily available to purchase over the counter from pharmacys for about £3.50. The aqua-gel is definitely preferable to the cream as it is much more easily absorbed. I highly recommend Panoxyl as a BP treatment.

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.
