The Guru Index verdict

The experts who reviewed it praise PanOxyl as an effective, affordable acne wash that targets the bacteria behind breakouts without bacteria becoming resistant over time, making it safe for long-term use. Those with inflammatory acne or sensitive skin may want to start with the 4% or 5% strength, applying it as a second cleanser a few times weekly. One key thing to keep in mind: benzoyl peroxide can be drying and will bleach fabrics, so rinsing thoroughly matters, and some gurus favor the wash form you rinse off in the shower over leave-on products for that reason.
