BEST SKINCARE OF 2026 (so far!)

"This is my old favorite, the PanOxyl acne creamy wash for face and body, four percent benzoyl peroxide. The price has crept up by a dollar, but I guess that's the world we live in. It's so effective that I always make sure I have a backup, and that's not something I say about a lot of skincare products."

"The Panoxyl Acne Creamy Wash for Face and Body, with 4% benzoyl peroxide, is the best thing I've ever done for my acne. I'm still having some breakouts, but that's just acne for you, and this is still so much better than the way things used to be for me. This is again my number one acne fighting product."

"The PanOxyl Acne Creamy Wash with 4% benzoyl peroxide is one of my absolute must-have products. It's one of my top two products that I need to treat my acne, along with adapalene."

BEST Affordable Skincare of 2024 (I Like Saving Money)

"This is my PanOxyl acne creamy wash, 4% benzoyl peroxide, for daily control. There isn't anything super special about the formulation, but what's special is the results [...] I get from it. I put this on dry skin, let it sit for a few minutes doing a short contact therapy wash, and then rinse it away, and I don't use it on my eye area."

"Tonight we're only using one cleanser, the PanOxyl Acne Creamy Wash with 4% benzoyl peroxide. This is an acne fighting cleanser, so if I'm dealing with breakouts I like to concentrate it where the breakouts are and just let it sit for one to two minutes, not a long time, just a little bit."

How I Save Money on Skincare: the PRODUCTS vs the INGREDIENTS I need

"I bought the Panoxyl Acne Creamy Wash with 4% benzoyl peroxide, and I might even like this more than CeraVe. Same active ingredient, same creamy base, larger quantity of product, and it's also thicker, the CeraVe was kind of runny, this is thicker and actually easier to use. [...] I'm happy with it, Panoxyl is now my friend."

"It's meant for face acne but I think it's an amazing body product. PanOxyl actually makes a 10% benzoyl peroxide cleanser as well but I really prefer the 4% because it's a little bit more gentle but it's just as good at treating acne. Benzoyl peroxide as an ingredient is great for reducing inflammation and killing acne causing bacteria but it can be a little bit irritating and I just find that this formulation is quite gentle."

"One of my favorite benzyl peroxide products is the Panoxyl Acne Creamy Wash, which has 4% benzyl peroxide. This can really be used anywhere on the body that someone is struggling with acne, whether it's their face or their chest or their back. Typically, I recommend you leave it on for somewhere between 30 and 60 seconds before rinsing it off and use it as many days per week as tolerated."

"PanOxyl Creamy Acne Wash has four percent benzoyl peroxide and yes it is marketed towards people who have acne because benzoyl peroxide is an excellent acne ingredient but it also works super well for body odor and foot odor. If you have stinky feet, every time you're in the shower you should be washing your feet with a benzoyl peroxide wash, and it's really important that you focus on washing between your toes because that is a common place that bacteria can build up."

"Panoxyl with benzoyl peroxide is one I would recommend because benzoyl peroxide has antibacterial activity that can really help minimize the bacteria on your skin. [...] The way I would recommend using it is leaving it in the shower, putting it on your face when you get in the shower, then turn on the water and wash your body, [...] and then splash it off. Letting it sit on your face is going to let it really do its magic."

"Yes, this will annihilate breakouts, but it could also really dry and irritate the face of someone who is dry. [...] I would actually recommend this for the chest and back of people who have dry skin, this is excellent for the body, but I would say that this can be a lot for the face. They have a four percent and a ten percent, if you have dry skin I would only recommend the four percent."
