PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash

If you’re dealing with: • Stubborn inflammatory acne • Back or chest acne • Hormonal breakouts • Deep, painful pimples This is strong enough to work. Within about 1–2 weeks, fewer new breakouts and faster healing of active ones. It really helps calm down those under-the-skin, angry spots. That said — this is 10% benzoyl peroxide, which is the highest OTC strength. It can be drying if you jump in too aggressively. What works best: • Start once daily (or every other day if sensitive) • Leave on skin for 1–2 minutes before rinsing • Follow with a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer • Use white towels (it WILL bleach fabric) It’s especially great for body acne because you can use it in the shower and let it sit while you wash your hair. If you have very sensitive or dry skin, you may want to start with a lower percentage first. But if you’ve tried 2.5% or 5% and it didn’t do much — this might be the upgrade you need. Overall: affordable, effective, and dermatologist-recommended strength. Would repurchase.

If consistency is creamy, soft white color, is tolerant for sensitive skin, has a very light smell almost imperceptible, it helped me with the daily cleaning of my face and body thus avoiding the presence of acne and some unpleasant pimples It really works

PaxOxyl 10% Benzoyl Peroxide is a straightforward, high-strength topical acne treatment that delivers the core benefit users expect from benzoyl peroxide: noticeable reduction in inflammatory blemishes and breakouts with consistent daily use. The 10 % concentration means it has real potency for moderate to stubborn acne, and the formulation spreads easily without feeling greasy or heavy, absorbing into skin quickly under moisturizers. Some users with sensitive skin may need to build up use gradually because 10 % is strong compared with lower-strength options, but for those who tolerate it, PaxOxyl performs reliably at clearing pores and calming active lesions. It doesn’t come with unnecessary frills, but in terms of efficacy and value for a high-strength benzoyl peroxide product, it meets expectations.

I’ve repurchased this acne foaming wash a few times. The ingredients are good, it is Yuka approved, and it’s very affordable. The texture is thick and it’s a white foaming wash. It comes in 5.5 oz, which is a good volume. I usually leave it on for 1–2 minutes before rinsing. It worked—it helped with acne on my face, back, and chest, but I think it depends on your skin type. I find that the soap from the same brand clears my acne better and feels cleaner to use, so I’ll switch to that. Overall, the quality of this foam wash is good. Overall: Effective, reliable, and affordable.

This acne wash works well for keeping breakouts under control. The cleanser creates a nice foam and rinses off easily without leaving a heavy feeling on the skin. A small amount is enough for each use. With consistent use, it helped reduce the appearance of breakouts and kept my skin feeling clean. Because it’s a strong formula, it’s a good idea to follow with a moisturizer to keep the skin balanced. Overall, it’s a reliable acne wash that works well as part of a regular skincare routine.

Don’t let the “unaesthetic” brand & packaging fool you— there is nothing better for acne than this face wash. I have been repurchased this face wash for almost 10 years now. I use it morning & night for acne & use it daily on my armpits for a detox. I have combination skin, so this knocks out my greasy areas & acne, & then I just go in with a heavy duty moisturizer, barrier serum & milky toner after for my dry areas. (Side note: I used Accutane as a 16 year old for cystic back acne & a face full of tiny white zits, & this has allowed me to maintain acne free skin almost 10 years later without getting a prescription ointment.) As for consistency & smell: It’s a white cream that doesn’t foam, & a little goes a long way. One bottle last a RIDICULOUSLY long time, unlike most “viral” face washes that last a month. It doesn’t have any added fragrance, but still smells very clean (almost like a light chlorine, which I personally love). As for cost: It’s also priced at an EXTREMELY low cost, with Walmarts great value version only being $0.50 less expensive for a more grainy & chemically smelling wash. !!!!!!!ADDED WARNING!!!!!: this is a 10% benzoyl peroxide cream, which is REALLY strong. You absolutely need to ease your way into using it so you don’t give yourself a chemical burn, every other day to start AT LEAST, & beware of how long you leave it on your skin. I know people with severe cystic acne that will leave it on for minutes before washing it off, but I leave it on for 15 seconds MAX or else my face gets irritated. Beware of sun exposure, & be sure to research if it interacts with other skincare products you’re currently using!

I've been using this for 3 years and have it on subscribe and save. It's very effective and I keeps the breakouts away!

I have very oily, acne-prone skin and this cleanser helped reduce breakouts faster than many other products I’ve tried. The 10% benzoyl peroxide is strong, so I recommend starting slowly and using a good moisturizer after. It creates a deep clean feeling and helped control excess oil, but it can be drying if you use it too often. I use it mostly at night and let it sit on my skin for about 30–60 seconds before rinsing. If your skin is sensitive, start a few times per week. Overall, it’s very effective for stubborn acne and worth trying if you have oily skin.
