Product Description
Panoxyl Wash 10% contains Benzoyl Peroxide, an ingredient recommended by dermatologists for the treatment of pimples (acne). It combats pimples through its antibacterial action and peeling (desquamative) effect. The cream base also assists rapid absorption into the skin.
How does it work?
Benzoyl peroxide is a type of medicine known as a keratolytic. This means that it works by breaking down keratin, a protein that forms part of the skin structure.
When you apply benzoyl peroxide to the skin it causes the top layer of skin cells to break down and shed. This helps break down comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and unblocks the sebaceous glands. It also helps to prevent the formation of new comedones.
Benzoyl peroxide also has an antibacterial action and directly kills bacteria on the skin, as well as reducing their numbers by decreasing the production of sebum by the sebaceous glands.
How to apply Panoxyl Wash 10% (Benzoyl Peroxide):
Apply to the affected areas and wash face daily
Caution before Using Panoxyl Wash 10% (Benzoyl Peroxide):
A mild burning or tingling sensation may occur when using for the first time. There may be moderate redness, peeling or itching over the first few days. This indicates that PanOxyl is working

Avoid excessive exposure to sunlight and other sources of ultra violet light. Avoid using at high altitudes and snow covered ground

bought this product from amazon great for mild acne takes the grease from the skin as well but beware it will bleach clothes so when you wash with it in the morning make sure it does not go near any garments.

This is the first review I have posted for a product on Amazon, despite having used the site for several years. I am posting only because of the absolutely stunning results I have had from using Panoxyl 10 wash.
I am 30 and have suffered from acne from around 13 years old. It comes and goes in terms of ferocity, but for almost as long as I can remember I have had spots of some sort. My skin has a high oil content and in combination with sensetive skin and a wiry beard I have been prone to severe outbreaks.
From small whiteheads to large, red, boil-like spots on my neck, I have suffered from every type of acne imaginable.
I bought this product based on reviews already posted on the website. I had hit a low in terms of confidence as my neck beneath my chin was covered in painful red sores and no area of my face had escaped the breakout.
I sought a different product as all the store bought, popular brands had absolutely no effect on me. The price was fair (compared to high street brands) and the reviews favourable so I bought it with nothing to lose. I had tried everything else available, short of the Isoretonin that my brother used for his severe back acne.
It genuinely has been the best thing I have ever bought, and I include a car and holidays in that!
After about 2 weeks, and despite some dry skin patches, my skin had almost completely cleared and no new spots had formed. I used it in combination with the Panoxyl 10% cream and now, a further 3 weeks down the line, my face is virtually spot free!
Gone are the painful lesions on my neck and cheeks and I am finally able to wet shave for the first time in years (I have used an electric beard trimmer for about 5 years).
I am stunned by the results of using the two Panoxyl products and would reccomend them to anyone who suffers from a similar afliction. Not only has the physical pain of the spots gone away, but the psychological effects have dissapeared.
I am no longer conscious of my face when I am out socialising or shopping, which in turn has increased my confidence (ladies you have been warned!).
The only downside to the cream is that if you use it at night your face bleaches your pillowcases. Which, being a single man, has caused some sly comments from my flatmate.
However, minor emabarrassment aside, this really is worth the small price you pay. I have been using it daily, sometimes twice, for 5 weeks and haven't yet used half the bottle.

Too strong for sensitive skin
I used this for a couple of days before deciding it wasn't for me. It basically bleaches your skin, hence all the fuss about not getting it near your eyes, mouth or your clothes. Read more
