Description

Clear acne and unclog pores with PanOxyl Clarifying Exfoliant 2% Salicylic Acid. Skin can become dry and lackluster when dead skin cells build up on the surface. Salicylic Acid, a Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA), helps to dissolve dead skin and minimize the production of certain skin oils. Regular exfoliation removes the oil buildup, leading to a smoother, clearer and breakout-free complexion.

Q: Does product fight Milia ?

submitted by King - 1 month ago
  • A: Hi there! Milia is a keratin build up that appears as a small bump (sometimes confused as a small closed comedone or "whitehead"). PanOxyl Clarifying Exfoliant with 2% Salicylic Acid is a topical acne medication and not indicated to treat milia. We recommend discussing this with you doctor or dermatologist.

Q: With what other PanOxyl products should one use PanOxyl Clarifying Exfolliant? Are salicilic acid and benzoyl peroxide contained in the cleansers compatible?

submitted by Shae Blu - 1 year ago
  • A: Hi! Thank you for reaching out to us! The PanOxyl Clarifying Exfoliant can be used alongside PanOxyl benzoyl peroxide products. Since these are both acne treatments, you may want to try alternating the days you use each product to avoid over-dryness. Always remember to apply sunscreen afterward! -PanOxyl Team

I’ve tried so many products for my breakouts (cerave, neutrogena, hero, etc.) and this has been one of the only products to work. For reference I have combination / mostly dry skin, and I still have stubborn acne on my cheeks + acne scars that WONT go away from this product, but this product has been a lifesaver for removing those random breakouts you get. I do wish the product was larger though, as I’ve been using it everyday and I tend to run out fast.

I have tried a lot of different products and picked this up because I use their body wash. This has helped clear up my cystic acne as well as decreased redness from old acne scars. It has really evened out my skin—I’m shocked! I swear by this and have a back up one ready to go.

I have used Salicylic acid for years. This made my face hot and started burning. It literally looked like I had second-degree burns. I had to rinse it off with cold water and coconut oil and it took me quite some time to get relief. My face still feels like it’s on fire. Not happy at all. PanOxl strikes out again. Every time I try one of their product products it’s the same thing. Drugstore cheap.

I stumbled across this in the store and then I've had to order it online. This is magic in a bottle! The best acne toner ever. does not sting or smell bad. I am 53 and suffer from chin acne this helps keep it at bay along with really making sure my skin is clean. I use the acne cleanser as well in the shower after I just another face wash - same at at night. I use this product twice a day after cleansing, toner and then this before my SPF during the day and then before my night face moisturiser. Target - PLEASE keep this in stock. PanOxyl - please keep this product!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the product overall and found it effective. My skin is more clear than usual and my pores look better. I gave it 4 stars because I did find it a little harsh on my skin at first. I would recommend it but start slowly at introducing it to your skin.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I’d say I like this product abut definitely be careful! My skin is not sensitive AT ALL so I thought I’d be fine to start using it once a day as directed. I looked like a hot tomato after about 2 minutes 😆 It burned the first few times I used it and it took some getting used to. But after about a week of using it, I could definitely tell the difference in my skin. My skin was brighter and more even and I had less breakouts. It’s worth trying if you’re looking to clear up breakouts and brighten your skin. Just make sure you don’t have anywhere important to be after using it lol.

Effective Exfoliant for Smoother Skin

Nik0071 - 5 months ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The PanOxyl Clarifying Exfoliant is an excellent product for acne-prone skin. With 2% salicylic acid, it effectively clears breakouts and unclogs pores. I noticed a significant improvement in my skin texture after just a few uses. It exfoliates without being overly harsh, leaving my skin smoother and clearer. However, it can be a bit drying, so I recommend following up with a good moisturizer. Great option for those seeking clearer, healthier-looking skin.
