PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash (10% Benzoyl Peroxide Maximum Strength)

Detail: Take control of your breakouts with the PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash, a dermatologist-recommended, maximum-strength solution designed to tackle even the most stubborn acne on your face, chest, and back. This powerful foaming wash contains the highest concentration of Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) available without a prescription, making it a highly effective treatment for existing acne and a potent preventative measure against future breakouts.

Benzoyl Peroxide works by effectively penetrating pores to kill over 99% of acne-causing bacteria within a short contact time. It also helps the skin to shed dead cells more effectively, preventing pores from becoming clogged, which is a primary cause of acne formation. Despite its strength, PanOxyl’s formula is designed to be a fast-acting cleanser that removes dirt, excess oil, and impurities, leaving your skin thoroughly clean.

While powerful, it’s formulated with moisturizers, including Glycerin, to help combat potential dryness, a common side effect of Benzoyl Peroxide. This balance aims to clear your complexion without leaving it feeling overly stripped or uncomfortable. PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash is a go-to for those seeking a robust solution for inflammatory acne, pustules, and general breakouts.

  • Dimethicone: A silicone-based ingredient that can help with skin conditioning and provide a smooth feel.
  • Sodium Laurylglucosides Hydroxypropylsulfonate, Dioctyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate, Polyoxyl 40 Stearate: Surfactants and emulsifiers that aid in cleansing and product stability.
  • Carbomer Homopolymer Type C, Carbomer Interpolymer Type A, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Silica, Xanthan Gum: Thickeners and stabilizers that give the wash its foaming texture.

How to Use:

1. Wet the affected area (face, chest, or back) to be cleansed.
2. Dispense a moderate amount of the PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash and gently massage into the skin for 1 to 2 minutes. For best results, allow the active ingredient to remain on the skin for this duration.
3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and gently pat dry with a clean, white towel (as Benzoyl Peroxide can bleach colored fabrics).
4. Start gradually: Because excessive drying or irritation may occur, begin with one application daily. If needed and tolerated, gradually increase to two or three times daily, or as directed by a doctor.
5. If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day.
6. Always apply sunscreen after using this product, especially if going outside, as Benzoyl Peroxide can increase sun sensitivity.
7. If irritation becomes severe, discontinue use and consult a doctor.
