Product reviews of PanOxyl Bar 10% - 4 oz - 1 Bar
Review: Works for me!
Beauty product: 4 Stars
So, I'm 22 and have had really bad chest and back acne since I was 16. I used to have acne on my face but that cleared up by the time I was 20 luckily...though the back and chest acne remained, sadly. I've tried a lot of different treatments for my chest and back acne:
Benzoyl Peroxide 8.5% (in liquid form)
Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash (Salicylic Acid)
Bactrim (worked OKAY, but didn't clear acne away 100%)
Tetracycline
Solodyn
It seems that for some reason, Benzoyl Peroxide in soap form works for me. Maybe it's the extra 1.5%? I'm pretty sure the key is letting the soap sit on your skin for the full 1 to 2 minutes that the instructions direct. (1 to 2 minutes feels like an eternity in the shower). This is pretty necessary because the skin your back is pretty thick. Also, I haven't been having the dry skin problems that other people haven't written about. I would recommend trying this product if you are out of luck like I was with other acne products.
*note: since I started using panoxyl, I also stopped eating junk food like pizza, cheeseburgers, french fries, fried chicken and completely stopped eating at fast food restaurants- so my back and chest acne clearing up may be attributed to this. My dermatologist says that acne has nothing to do with what you eat - but he's also the one who prescribed all those other treatments that didn't work. So I'm not entirely sure.
***EDIT***
Unfortunately, my acne has come even though I'm still using PanOxyl. Maybe it's in my diet because it varies, but it's back. Really there's too many variables to control for, so there's no way for me to truly know if PanOxyl really works. But I'm gonna keep using it.
Review: Works great on my back
Beauty product: 4 Stars
I've been dealing for years with back acne...antibiotics, all the prescription creams and everything out there. Using this daily on just my back keeps it pretty clear. It is not spotless and I'm still prone every now and then but this has been such a wonderful product to really, really keep it under control.
