Review by Christopher Greenwell for PanOxyl Acne Cleansing Bar 10% Benzoyl Peroxide 4 oz (113 g) Rating: You'd think that at some point in my 33 years that acne would cease to be a real problem. Untreated, not a chance, but PanOxyl really really helps. I used to use the "leading brands" and prescription meds for control. PanOxyl works every bit as well as my prescription cleansers (at a sixth of the cost) and a hundred times better than the other stuff. I use it morning, afterwork, and before bed and it doesn't seem to bleach out my towels, linens, or clothes nearly as bad as the "storebrand".

Review by Christopher Wanko for PanOxyl Acne Cleansing Bar 10% Benzoyl Peroxide 4 oz (113 g) Rating: I'm a believer in over-the-counter medicines as your second line of defense, prescriptions as your third. First is always what you eat and how you live... but no soapboxes here, just the soap itself.Benzoyl Peroxide is a near-miracle medicine, as it works for most acne sufferers without prescriptions. The only time you need prescription meds that use this is when the delivery method is (somewhat) more effective at delivering more medicine at once or making it work longer by adding something to keep it from drying out too quickly.However, most of us just need a good soap for the morning, after work, and bedtime. This is a little on the high side, but it does have the max percentage of medicine you can buy OTC, and it really does control bad breakouts. I wouldn't use it prophylactically, avoiding the risk of developing a tolerance for it, so the bar will last awhile if you use it during bad weeks.Fred

Review by K. McMahon for PanOxyl Acne Cleansing Bar 10% Benzoyl Peroxide 4 oz (113 g) Rating: This product works better than anything I've used in my years of suffering with acne. I've used everything you can imagine and have spent a lot of money doing it. Salycilic acid (especially) and other treatments never really worked that well for me. I've discovered benzoyl peroxide works wonders and found a few really good products, but this one beats them all by far and is MUCH cheaper. I've read that this dries many people out, but it doesn't dry me out and my skin is not that oily. I guess if it dries you out, a good, lightweight oil-free moisturizer could handle it. It's worth the benefit of having blemish-free skin! By the way, I use it on my chest and back and have seen the same great results.

Review by Joshua K. Mortensen for PanOxyl Acne Cleansing Bar 10% Benzoyl Peroxide 4 oz (113 g) Rating: I've had severe back acne for several years and even after fine tuning my muscles to perfection, I was still afraid to take off my shirt - at the pool, around girls, even for a massage from my girlfriend.
I tried tons of stuff that never worked. I searched on the internet and found a reference to this product. I tried it out and after using it on my back once a day while in the shower, I saw results after only 3 days. After 2-3 weeks of use, my back was virtually spotless. I'm so glad I found this soap!
Warning - I wouldn't use it on your face more than 1-2 times a week. I tried using it on my face everyday and after a week my entire face crusted up and I had to rub lotion on my face like 10 times a day to even go out in public.
Also, make sure you rinse your skin very well after use because it can bleach your bedsheets and clothing.

Review by S. Killian for PanOxyl Acne Cleansing Bar 10% Benzoyl Peroxide 4 oz (113 g) Rating: I have used the 5% bar and have been impressed. I have had a couple of cluster breakouts for several weeks and was not getting any results from anything I tried. This was recommended, so I purchased it the other day. I have only been using it at night and have been very impressed. The breakout areas were immediately clearer (almost gone).
