PanOxyl : Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Aquagel

Well the bottom line is, we're all here to clear up our acne, to do this you have to be strict with yourself. This includes your diet and the acne.org regimen. I would personally recommend eating healthy, fruit, veg, green tea, lots of water, absolutely NO confectionaries, dairy products are acceptable in small amounts, no spicy or peppery foods, and no drinks high in sugar. Sugar WILL make your acne worse, take it from me, you dont need dermatologists evidence to say it does, work it out for yourself, pig out on lots of sugary foods and eureka, massive breakout the next morning. Also dont get sloppy with the regimen or leave parts out, I did and suffered for it. Also it would be worth looking in to zinc supplements. Combined a good attitude towards food, this product will do great things.

be consistent with panoxyl, dont quit on it even if you think the worst, (about scaring) it will improve your spots, & get rid of most of them, if you have mild acne, you will see results within a week like me. STICK TO IT.

Used to get a lot of pimples during teenage years. This completely cleared up whilst on the contraceptive pill Yasmin. I was on this for 10 years. Wanted to start a family so had to come off the pill. Pimples came back with a vengeance! At 30 I felt very self conscious and looked up solutions on the Internet. During my teenage years I'd used the usual harsh treatments which never worked, so knew it would be a waste of money. I found acne.org. However since I live in the UK I was not prepared to pay those prices on top of massive postage & packaging prices. I googled Benzoyl Peroxide and found that Boots sell the Panoxyl Aquagel 2.5% for as little as £3.50! Bought it in my local Boots the next day. My routine, just my normal Clarins face wash. Followed by toner. I then put my eye cream on (not getting any younger!), then I put the gel on my finger the size of HALF a pea, then spread this on what I call the 'Homer Simpson six o'clock shadow' area, avoiding the lips and the area around my eyes (basically avoiding where I out the eye cream). Sounds like a small amount but it does spread. Then after a couple of minutes I slap on my moisturiser. I reckon any will do, but I use Clarins. I only do this at night. I do not use the gel after I've washed my face in the morning, that would be too drying. My face cleared up a treat after a couple of weeks. On top of this I drink just under 2 litres of water a day, and I have a facial every 2 weeks, cos lets face it, how often do you work on your face for 30 to 60 mins? It helps to get rid of dead skin cells and any other clogging which can only help your skin! After seeing the results I stopped using the gel, but after a few weeks pimples came back, so I started using again and have been using the gel for about 4 months now and have perhaps had 6 pimples in total during that time which disappear very quickly. I can't recommend this product enough, and a big thank you to acne.org for making me aware of Benzoyl Peroxide. So

i am 26 and have been suffering from acne for about 8 years now and it was getting worse.. also started having cystic ones which would stay below skin for months...!! I tried a lot of creams.. freederm gel, organic creams , sea salt, apple cider vinegar, lemon ...everything... until i started using this... it is a bit frustrating initially cause it dries up skin and makes it flaky ..but worry not..this is what i did to get clear skin in 2 weeks... start in the morning by washing face very gently with CHANDRIKA SOAP ( u can order it online or find it at some asian shop ).. this soap is lovely.. doesnt make skin oily and maintains ph balance..and smells great..pat ur face dry...and apply a thin layer of PANOXYL 2.5 gel over spots and then use FREEDERM OIL FREE MOISTURISER over it after 10 minutes.. this gel will prevent skin from overdrying... do the same before sleeping at night....just use panoxyl and not moisturiser.... Well thats it really ... let your skin be flaky and let it peel off .. what it does it is shed the outer skin and brings out new softer skin from below ,..also helps remove scars...better lock yourself in ur room for a week...after that u will see your spots disappearing...and getting fewer .. also it prevents new spots from coming... after following it for 2 weeks as you feel ur skin getting better reduce panoxyl to only once a day and use good amount of freederm moisturiser... i think people dont like this product cause it makes skin flaky but using less quantities and using a good moisturiser is the key...I only get a tiny spot every week cause my sugar intake is quite high...so cut that down too..dont worry too much about scars.. control new spots and scars will fade away soon ... i used panoxyl 2.5 cause it's mild and works well instead of 5 or 10 and stick to it for some months and not leave it after couple of weeks ...also please stay happy..!!!

Basically I used everything to try and get rid of my acne and this has been the only thing that worked! I used a lot of expensive products from my spa and my acne just kept getting worse... Then I decided to try this product and I HATED it at first so I decided to put it away and not use. Then I went on a trip and didn't wanna bring all my expensive products so I brought this and a simple cleanser and a salicylic acid treatment. Needless to say my acne had improved a ton at the end of the trip. 2 Months later my acne is almost gone which is the best I've had in 5 years! Basically it's cheap and it works, more than anyone could hope for :) IMPORTANT: I can't stress enough how much this dries up your skin so if you don't have oily skin you may be looking at the wrong product These are all my personal experiences and people may have different opinions.

I had back and chest acne over a year ago so I tried this, I realised if I used a fair amount (meaning a lot everyday after showering) It instantly got rid of my body acne. But a few months ago I developed facial acne, baring in mind our faces are more sensitive that back and chest, So I started the regime last week I was my face with tea tree cleanser then dry my face, apply BP ( now I'm going to add more) once that has soaked in I apply Neutrogena Visibly Clear Oil Free Moisturiser, It hasnt been long but so far I'm seeing dramatic changes!!

Fantastic product. I wonder why I have not heard of Panoxyl before, because this is the ONLY thing that has worked for me. I guess they're a pretty silent brand. Take note: you may not have to use as much of this as you would if you were using Dan's BP gel. For me, a stripe the length of my index finger every 12 hours is enough for three weeks of every month. When my period arrives, I require a bit more because that's when I break out most. Like all BP products, it can leave skin a bit dry and flaky, especially at first. It's a good idea to ramp the dosage up slowly and then when you're completely clear, try reducing the dosage until you find the right amount for your skin. Everyone is different. I can't compare Panoxyl to any other BP product, since it's the only BP I've ever used. But I have no reason to switch, since it's working! It's pretty much saved my life. **I have put the price in monthly costs in POUNDS, not dollars. It's £3 a tube, and I need two tubes a month, just about.**

I suppose it dries and reddens sensitive skin. So do not over apply it! And avoid the Sun after applying it.

I work in a pharmacy and kept seeing this on a script so thought, it's only £3.40, why not try it. I have tried quinoderm, retin a, dalacin, zineryt and nothing has worked. This product is amazing. It helped clear up the red angry acne on my face. It's made me more confident to go out without make up on too. I absolutely love it and am now hunting around small pharmacies for any reserve stock. I can't say anything else but I love it.

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 :)
