I really enjoyed trying out this face wash. I have used a 10% wash before, and that one really dried and stripped my skin. However, this one felt super creamy and gentle and did not burn my skin. I'm not sure how effective it is because I still got acne, but it did not destroy my skin barrier. I probably will rebuy this once I run out to use as a preventative measure. I tend to leave this on my face for 1-2 mins in the shower for full effect.
Tried and true!

Tried and true! We all know PanOxyl has been around forever and was a staple for us acne cursed teens! Unfortunately breaks have followed me into adulthood so of course I jumped at the option of trying this brand out again as an adult! This wash is creamy and gentle! It leaves my face clean but not overly stripped!
Works wonders for acne prone skin

I recently switched to the PanOxyl Creamy Acne Wash with 4% Benzoyl Peroxide, and it has completely changed my skincare routine for the better. Having tried PanOxyl's bar soap before, I found that it often left my skin feeling dry and stripped. This creamy wash, however, feels like a major improvement. The formula is gentle yet effective, and although it doesn't create a lot of suds, it delivers a thorough and deep clean. As I massage it into my skin, I can feel it working without any harshness. My skin feels clean, refreshed, and hydrated instead of tight or dry. The 4% Benzoyl Peroxide helps target acne-causing bacteria and prevent clogged pores, and I've already noticed clearer, smoother skin since using it. This product balances efficacy with gentleness, and it's absolutely earned a permanent place in my routine.
Works amazingly!

This face and body wash is the truth! It helps reduce breakouts and is great for those with sensitive skin. I also like that it doesn't dry my skin out. The only downside is that it does stain fabrics so be cautious when using.
Trusted and reliable

I've used this cleanser on and off for a long time as it's a reliable cleanser for face and body when dealing with breakouts. I deal with hormonal acne so I always love having this on hand to use when I'm dealing with more breakouts than usual.
