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 - 4 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.
submitted byEG Product Expert - 4 years agoBrand expertA: this stuff is amazing and yes you can use cetaphil with it. Cleanse first with another cleanser and follow up with this. I use cetaphil and no issues. both cleanser and face lotion.

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.

I have sensitive acne prone skin and this works wonders for me! I’d recommend starting off using it only a couple days a week and work your way up to everyday/ every other day only because it can dry you out at first but once your skin is use to it it’s AMAZING. Helped my acne so much!

It works well for my son’s acne. It is a bit overpriced though. Also, it takes the color out of fabric, so use white or old towels and pillowcases!

I don’t use this for acne. I use it to help kill off bacteria in my armpits to reduce the smell now that I’m in perimenopause! It has really helped a lot…as far as I can smell! The stuff has a slight smell. I hated fragrances, but it isn’t bad.
Great!

Love these! They work to minimize pimples within a few hours and especially take away redness. They are extra sticky and hard to come off which I do like, and they feel more invisible on skin than hero brand patches. I love that it comes with a small and bigger size.
Love this cleanser!

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.

It seems to be making a difference in our kids acne, it was recommended by her doc, she uses it consistently and finds it improves her breakouts, although it dries the skin and requires gentle non-greasy moisturizer. Def worth trying if you are dealing with fungal/hormonal/cystic acne, might take a week or two before seeing any change. Don't get it on your clothes or on the bath rugs as it will stain it.
Only OTC patches that work

This product is powerful! It did make my skin a bit dry, but I have combination skin that is both sensitive and acne-prone (oily and dry), and I feel like it helps reduce my breakouts. I only use a very small amount on my face, and only during bad flare-ups. As long as you use it sparingly, you should be fine!
