What the gurus are saying

This benzoyl peroxide wash at 4% manages to treat acne effectively while keeping dryness to a manageable level. Experts praise how well it balances effectiveness and skin tolerability, noting the irritation stays quite small, and they also value its affordability and drugstore availability. Those concerned about dryness would want to note this caveat, though experts find it worth the minor tradeoff.

"I love Panoxyl, the benzoyl peroxide foam wash I use on my body, but it will dry me out a little bit and give me a bit of irritation, though it's quite small. That's why I like the wash."

"I really like the four percent PanOxyl. The ten percent is fine too, but you may find that one more drying and more irritating."

"Panoxyl is amazing. They have different percentages but their creams are basically like cream cleansers and they are with benzoyl peroxide. Panoxyl's great, it's inexpensive, it's at the drugstore. A lot of doctors and derms I work with recommend it. I've recommended it to a lot of people who've struggled with acne and it works very well."
