Pros:

It works incredibly well and very quickly. It cleared up by acne within a few days of use. I have been using it every day or every other day for over a year now and it has never failed me, as long as I use it consistently.

Cons:

Dries out skin a little too much at first, especially because I used it like three times the first day (bad idea) but after awhile your skin will learn to tolerate it. I recommend using a moisturizer with sunscreen in it.

I LOVE this product! I have tried every other acne gel, face wash, pills, masks, EVERYTHING, but nothing has worked this well. I'm surprised it's not more popular-- I have a hard time finding it here, not because it sells out, but because a lot of places don't seem to sell it. Or, if I do find it, it's all the way pushed to the side on the bottom shelf. Probably because the packaging is "boring" looking, but that doesn't matter because the product is worth every cent.

Pros:

works effectively if used correctly

Cons:

can cause irritation nd peeling

ok if u want this product to work correctly u have 2 use consistenly day nd night, be very gentle when lathering on the skin, and i noticed the longer u lather the more of a possibily of reddening or iirritating rash, so lather for 20-30 sec, plus i use cetaphil daily mosturizer, which i think is the best beacause it hydrates all day nd is non-comedemic, no fragnance nd jusst the best go cop it! nd if going in the sun use a good sun block like olay spf-15 , its non comedemic so it will not block pores--hope this helps like it helped me!!

Pros:

inexpensive, easy to use, does not irritate. 10% formula is
best for me, lower %BPs do not help at all. It is a wash, so you do not need to worry about bleaching your cloths. It leaves no residue.

Cons:

I cannot find any!

First I started using 10% salicylic acid which slowed down the black head formation with the added peeling benefit, but it did not help control my acne. This product helped me to control my acne while using 10% SA. I have used BP before both as lotion and wash with smaller percentage like 2.5%, 4%. It seems I needed much higher percent. I like that it is a soap, I use it both for my face and back. About 4 years ago, I remember using prescription 8% BP wash.I think higher numbers were not available over the counter than.That one worked well too, but it left residue inside sebaceous glands which is perhaps good for killing bacteria. But, the BP residue came out from the glands with the sweat on my back, especially while doing sports.I ruined many cotton T-shirts. With this product, I did not have any such problem yet!!! My acne is gone 90%. First time in the last 5-6 years, I am really happy using any acne medicine.

Pros:

Very quick working, inexpensive, a great product overall

Cons:

Slight burning when first starting usage, cannot go out in sun without sunblock, may irritate slightly before working, bleaches hair and fabric

I started using this a couple months ago, once a day or every other day, and my acne was nearly gone. But if you slack for a couple days (like I did), the acne can come back (that's to be expected, though). You notice results within half an hour or so, pimples will appear smaller and less red, and will be significantly better than before only with one day. Repeated use a couple times a day will probably clear one's face right up in a couple weeks. The drawbacks are that you have to pull back your hair if you have dark colored hair, or it may bleach it (I have blond hair, so I don't really have to worry). You also need to put sunblock on your face if you go outside. I don't know why, but I'd do it. Don't get it on fabric, either, or it will bleach the fabric (if it has Peroxide in the chemical name, I wouldn't take a chance on getting it on your hair or fabric). Overall, this product will astonish and amaze you at how quickly and effectively it works. A much recommended

Pros:

worked really fast!

Cons:

dried up my lips and burned my eyes lol

i hardly had acne just a few bumps on my head and when i used MURAD that sh*t fu*ked up my face! it says all the bad crap surfaces it up and starts to clear your face. nothing worked it made my face worse, so I used PROACTIV and even PROACTIV EXTRA STRENGTH! it got me no where as well. I've used so many different products that costed me so much money. who knew 3 bucks (yes, the bar of PanOxyl was just 3 bucks) gave me a dramatic change within days. I was never confident on going out because of my face filled with acne and scarring. it has seriously changed my life. I recommend it, but just use alot of moisturizer or lotion if needed. I've suffered for so long. Just give it a try, you have nothing to lose. 3 years of suffering with acne and lack of confidence, all gone within days. and it gets better and better! as days pass and my acne clears up, I'm getting my confidence back. I could kiss they guy or whoever invented this! PanOxyl is a miracle that's under 10 bucks. hahaha

Pros:

Clears skin and eliminates excess oils

Cons:

Causes skin to feel tight/dry

I have had pretty bad acne for about four years. My problem was that no matter what I washed my face with in the morning or at night, my skin would get so oily during the day that it didn't matter. I would have new pimples forming daily because of all my excess oil. Using Panoxyl Bar consistently for the past week has completely eliminated my oil problem. This is the best product for anyone with oily skin causing their outbreaks. I am so happy that my face does not look like a bucket of oil with red spots anymore.
