Q: Does this work with pimples ? I have so many pimples everywhere and can I use my cetaphil with this product. If not , what are my risk meaning does my acne get worse ?

submitted by Mi - 3 years ago
  • A: PanOxyl acne washes contain benzoyl peroxide, which works to kill acne causing bacteria and helps prevent future breakouts from forming. Our washes can be used to treat acne on the face, chest and back. We offer acne washes containing benzoyl peroxide in 4% and 10% concentration levels so you can customize your routine based on your skin’s needs. Avoid contact with the eyes, lips and mouth. Skin irritation and dryness is more likely to occur if you use another topical medication at the same time. If irritation occurs, only use one topical acne medication at a time. If you have any concerns about a potential reaction, we recommend you consult your healthcare provider.

Q: Will this work on sensitive skin to ?

submitted by Miranda - 4 years ago
  • A: We don’t recommend using our 10% wash on sensitive skin because of the Benzoyl peroxide that we use in our acne washes. Using a wash that has Benzoyl peroxide may cause skin irritation. We recommend you contact your healthcare provider or dermatologist for any questions regarding the appropriate treatment.

    It works the same as the others, but packaging fail. 1/2 of the spots stick to the wrapper when you open and 1/2 stick to the clear backing sheet. The ones that stick don’t to the sheet don’t peel easily. I’d just rather use another brand.

    I hardly remember to write reviews but this warrants one. This helped my back acne almost over night! I was getting new acne everyday that was itchy and painful but this helped so much even after one use. Does feel a little dry but I don’t care because it’s doing its job.

    These work just as good as the more expensive brand as half the cost. Real hydrocolloidal material. Actually absorbs junk out of your zits. I would love to find these even cheaper but these are the least expensive real version I've found.
