“Panoxyl 2.5 Aquagel”

Written on: 22/05/2012

I've been using 'Zineryt' cream on my skin for acne for about a year now, but it stopped working and wasn't strong enough, so we went back to the doctors and they gave me the Panoxyl Aquagel, 2.5. The doctor said it would bleach my skin, but I still went with his advice and applied it Tuesday night, and the next morning it just seemed a bit dry. I applied it again Wednesday night,and Thursday morning I woke up and my face was bright red, on fire, dry, peeling, tight. It was horrible. I was... (read more)

Panoxyl Aquagel 2.5 (Benzoyl Peroxide)

“The best product ever for acne!!!”

Written on: 29/04/2012

I usually get spots on my forehead like they are really bad. Last year my sister told me about this product and I can tell you it cleared my acne within 5 days but u need to be prepared for your face to look worse than how it was before u started using panoxy,but if you stick to it u will be so happy at the end. You also need to use a moisturiser on after the panoxy cause it can dry out your skin really bad. (read more)

Great treatment for acne;i have had horrible breakouts all through my teenage years,i tried lots of treatments for it but it got worse during pregnancy, as most of the acne formed abscess and looked like boils, in fact i cannot remember having an acne less face until recently,i was introduced by a pharmacologist to use Dalacin C capsule and apply panoxyl -10 Aqua gel and in a week wow,i tell you the truth my face was cleared off the breakouts i had struggled with for years.Athough i had to apply neutrogena body lotion moisturizer after few minutes of using panoxyl so my skin don't get dried,red and wrinkled but the product is best for acne.

I am a 16 year old and I have very bad acne. I did the same as you, not going to school because I was scared at what people would say about my face. I live in Italy (but Im English)and everyone here have no spots at all. This makes me feel even worse because no one really understands me. Now that I have seen what you have wrote I believe that one day I will have beautyfull skin like all the other girls. Thank you.

I used to have relatively bad acne as a teenager, that I got rid of thanks to antibiotics. 10 years later though I started to break out again.

I bought Panoxyl 2.5 and intially wasn't that impressed.

I have sensitive skin and after a few days use I looked worse than previously. My skin was very dry, itchy, and flaky. Not good! I noticed a huge improvement after only two uses, with redness and spot size drastically reducing. This led me to over do it and use too much twice a day, which... (read more)

The key to using this is simple. You must start applying to face in pea size amounts, after 2 weeks, double the dosage, again after two weeks double again, and after a further two double again. At this point you should be applying a fair amount to all prone acne areas. This will build up your skins strength. Granted, you will get a red face. PanOxyl oxygenates your skin to prevent growth, therefore after every use, wait 10-15 minutes and apply a pH neutral moisturiser. With this, even the... (read more)

Benzoyl peroxide is a Godsend for my acne! I tried it as a teenager but was put off by the redness and flaking. But a recent trip to the dermatologist persuaded me to try again. The first thing to bear in mind is the redness will go - your skin does get used to it. Start with small quantites rather than slathering it over your face. If your skin does get red and sore, stop for a day or two and then apply it every other day, building it up to daily use and increase the quantity you apply. Be... (read more)

This really does work against light to mild acne and is very fast acting, within hours you should see an improvement of your skin, and at least with me it's all cleared up in a number of days.

Obviously the effectiveness of the gel will vary with each person, as everybody is different, all I can say is that it works for me.

The first few times you use it it will probably dry your skin up a bit, but after a few days it should be fine.

Firstly, this 2.5% version of Panoxyl Aquagel is the only one to use - the other strengths are too much for acne prone skin and can make the condition worse.
Secondly, applying only the BP without a moisturiser will make your skin tight and uncomfortable, as well as overdry which may lead to a worsening of your acne. Find a moisturiser that doesn't block poors - non-comodeogenic - and is non-greasy. Afer many trials, I found Cetaphil moisturising cream worked best for me as often my skin... (read more)

Well im 14 with acne, My doctor prescribed this to me last week. So far its been terrible; I get really dry flakey skin and it just looks disgusting, i havent really seen a difference but dead dry skin starts to peel. Be careful though it contains Benzoyl peroxide which can bleach fabrics. (read more)

Written on: 17/02/2010

I was prescribed PanOxyl Aquagel 2.5 by my doctor about 3 weeks ago for my moderate/severe acne- i know it needs more time to substantially change and i should give it more time to work but so far am not blown away by the results. So far all i have achieved with this treatment is making my skin tight and uncomfortable for hours after application and then dry and flaky throughout the day- which is particulaly annoing for someone like me who wears make up to conceal acne but with dry skin make...

Written on: 14/02/2010

I was prescribed the Panoxyl 5 and after 2 days found my skin was red, began peeling and burnt. Although I had these affects I did realise that the cream had cleared the spots I did have. I have since been back to the doctors who has recommended Panoxyl 2.5, as he felt the previous was too strong. Has anyone tried a a Panoxyl 5 and then 2.5 and found a difference? (read more)

My brother got the cream for his mild acne but it's the Panoxyl 5. Ive always suffered with spots and as they progressed i thought i would try my brothers acne cream. Must say i havent got acne but it cleared/reduced the spots on my face over night, however my skin burned in the areas i applied the cream and became flakey and itchy. Overall the product is decent and says changes will occur after 4 weeks. Mine occured hours later so i found that good. (read more)

Written on: 04/01/2010

i have been using panoxyl gel 2.5 for the past month, scarily after the first few days my face turned a really red colour all over where i had applied the gel, my spots - although decreased slightly in size, more spots persisted to come on my face. my face was very dry and using moisteriser considerably helped, but still my face is red and makeup makes the skin worse, other than that - reading the other reviews, i sincerely hope that it gets better, :/ (read more)

Absolutely brilliant. Started clearing up my acne on first application.
My advice is to use with a moisturiser, particularly if you have sensitive skin. Using this product alone can be quite drying especially if you have sensitive skin.
Using an oil-free moisturiser is recommended.
I was prescribed an anti-biotic lotion late last year from the doctor and although it worked, I find that PanOxyl is much easier to get hold of, cheaper, and most definitely lasts a lot longer.

It's been 2 weeks... (read more)

Its very good value for money for the amount you get, especially compared to other face product. I have been using it for two days and have noticed that my skin has become dry and hot but not soar. My spots seeem to have reduced around my cheeks, some have even gone!! i would recomend it, im using 2.5% and it has made my skin red, i dont have sensitive skin but i would say if you do be very causious.
