Pros:

It is really affective

Cons:

I believe it has caused me to develop a bumpy ras all over te back of my arms in the shoulder area where I applied it. I stopped using it and the bumps haven't gone away yet.

If you don't have sensitive skin its really effective. These bummps are incredibly embarassing and persistent.

Pros:

closes my pores for a while..not greasy

Cons:

drys out your face veryy badly!!

i used this product for a week straight every morning and night. I didnt think my skin would get so dry! i woke up one morning with dry skin all around my mouth..i couldnt smile or laugh! i looked like an old women..i would put creams on but it would only burn..iv tried everything but nothing seems to work. I thought panoxyl would work but all it did was dry out my face to the extreeme. im now trying a home remedy..aloe vera gel straight from the plant..im praying that it will work!! i only use panoxly when i feel as if my face is greasy..it then doesnt dry out my face just feels refreshed!

Pros:

used the 10% bar with 10% topical gel- completly cleared my skin, inexpensive, easy to use

Cons:

very drying- had to use eucerine creme as moisturizer every time i washed my face which made it more oily (but clear!), bleached towels, bedsheets, and clothes

if you're looking for an inexpensive way to treat moderate acne, i recommend this product. i used the 10% bar along with the 10% topical gel am and pm for 2 years. although it completly cleared my skin, it was harsh and really dried it out. the only moisturizer that worked was eucerine creme which i applied over the topical gel am and pm. that made my skin oily so i did have to use oil sheets and reapply my powder a few times throughout the day. overall i was very happy with the results from this product :)

Pros:

It really works!!
I promise when you start using this product, you will rarely see pustules on your face or in other words, those white, ugly pimples on your pace. It kills the bacteria by providing oxygen and that stops those white pimples coming out. you will have some redness on your face left, but redness is fine than ugly white pimples.

Cons:

I think, there are not cons necessarily!!
May dry out skin a little bit, but drying is the major reason to kill the bacteria.

Use this facewash one time and specially when you sleep.

Use moisturizer in the morning.

Best moisturizer i know is cetaphil

If you have those white ugly looking pimples. Don't worry, start using panoxyl and you will see results in the week. It will not cause you to breakout. some redness will be left behind but that's normal until your ugly pustules go away. Gently massage this product on your face for 2 minutes. Use only one time and specially before you go to the bed.

Pros:

Clears skin and eliminates excess oils

Cons:

Causes skin to feel tight/dry

I have had pretty bad acne for about four years. My problem was that no matter what I washed my face with in the morning or at night, my skin would get so oily during the day that it didn't matter. I would have new pimples forming daily because of all my excess oil. Using Panoxyl Bar consistently for the past week has completely eliminated my oil problem. This is the best product for anyone with oily skin causing their outbreaks. I am so happy that my face does not look like a bucket of oil with red spots anymore.

Pros:

Cleared my problematic skin almost immediatly.
( and I was getting to the point where it could have been considered moderate to severe)

Cons:

Drying, but who cares?! My skin is clear!

I'm a 24 year old single mother, college student, waitress. If it's not the stress and lack of sleep that's causing my acne, it may be the grease from the restaraunt I work at. I bought a Panoxyl bar around 2 am the morning of April 20 when I got out of work. My skin was getting so bad, I didn't want to leave the house. My self esteem was dropping and I couldn't even make eye contact with anyone without feel self concious. Today is the 21st, my skin.... I kid you not... is clear. No acne. I have scarring and marks, but there is no "acne". Panoxyl is amazing, and I will recommend this product to everyone and anyone who will listen. I'm also using jojoba oil as a moisturizer because again it is very drying.

Pros:

Clears skin FAST!

Cons:

Bleaches towels, dries skin

It's amazing. Like everyone else will tell you, it clears skin in three days, tops. It makes insanely oily skin, normal. I LOVE panoxyl. I am also one of those people who has tried EVERYTHING short of Accutane (because it's got some scary side effects), and I am a harsh critic of acne medications. If I say it works, I swear it works. I'm using the face wash though, not the bar of soap. It's rich and creamy and lathers really well. So if you want a lather, go with that. You can still use it on shoulders, back, wherever (the bottles says its ok). Bottom line, if someone had told me about this 8 years ago, I could have spared myself 8 years of agony (all of high school, college and graduate school), thousands of dollars on prescriptions that did not work and felt confident about my face.

Pros:

WORKS. Great for using in the shower on body acne.

Cons:

Makes skin dry and itchy for the first couple weeks.

I had acne on my arms and shoulders that never went away. I saw an ad for PanOxyl Bar on TV, so I went and bought the 10% bar. It's really harsh stuff. Your body will adjust to the dryness after a while, and it's worth it. My arms and shoulders are almost completely clear now.
