okay well so far i dont have any more new acne.. i havent used this product for a very long time and so im not really sure of its results yet, i got it..3 days ago, at night, and so yeah the first two days, i didnt really notice any difference, but because it was 10%Bp i was a little afraid it would cause dryness and irritation and thus more acne, well apparently my skin is INSANELY oily...because even when i use a lot of this, and no moisturizer.. not only is my skin NOT dry, its actually still oily...so yeah anyways um okay well i have cysts.. and quite a few of them and now my acne has..pretty much gone away i guess but i think the acne isnt whats so bad, its the red/brown marks from all my previous cysts that plague me so, but um yeah if you're skin is incredibly oily like mine this is a pretty good product, although yesterday i guess i didnt wash it off completely or something cuz it burned like in the area around my nose oh yeah and its cheap which is good i think it was like $7?

Pros:

prevent pimples from growing. get rid of oily face. for the first few days of using it, i already notice the difference. though the acne scars are still visible but at least no more cysts.

Cons:

it dries the skin. if you don't use some good moisturizer, your skin especially at the side of the mouth started to peel. follow some moisturizer after using it.

i recommend this product if u are not allergic to benzoyl peroxide. there's nothing wrong if you try. in the first place it is best value for your money unlike those expensive products which do nothing to your face aside from aggravating your acne more.

Pros:

Helps clear and prevent acne, no strong fragrance, relatively cheap, a little goes a long way

Cons:

Drying, doesn't lather much

I was using the purpose cleansing bar with great success but then cysts and pimples started appearing again about a month after I switched to a birth control method that doesn't help my acne problem. I knew I needed something stronger again so I got the panoxyl 10% bar which I remember using when I was younger. A few rubs of the soap on a wash cloth is just enough to cover my face, arms, chest, and back. It doesn't lather much so it's hard to tell but it does go a long way. In the couple weeks I've used this bar, my acne has started to clear up noticeably and I haven't gotten any new cysts. It does dry the skin but a little lotion fixes that.

Pros:

Well, I'm not sure if I'm actually using "Panoxyl", but I'm using 10% benzoyl peroxide. This stuff does actually work! After a couple of weeks my acne was 90% gone. It really becomes not an issue anymore.

Cons:

Once you stop, it stops, so because I'm lazy sometimes I stop using it and my acne comes back. Also, this time around it made my skin EXTREMELY dry so I had to go out and get some moisturizer! But I think you're supposed to do so anyway. No biggie.

Basically, be consistent and it will be consistent. And pair it with a good moisturizer. Preferably one with sunblock, I guess, because on the bottle it says that you need to stay out of the sun. I don't want no premature aging. Also for cost I wrote zero but that's because it was prescribed by my doctor and I have insurance. As a sidenote, you should really mention your acne to your doctor. They can prescribe stuff. And they know things.
