PanOxyl 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Foaming Wash 5.5 oz Tube — Maximum Strength Face & Body Cleanser

PanOxyl 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Foaming Wash is a maximum-strength, daily face and body cleanser formulated to clear existing pimples and help prevent new breakouts.

This foaming wash uses a clinical-strength 10% benzoyl peroxide formula—the highest over-the-counter concentration—to target acne-causing bacteria and penetrate pores. Designed for use on both face and body, it combines antimicrobial action with added moisturizers to help reduce the drying effect typical of potent acne treatments. The product aims to shorten the life cycle of blemishes while fitting into a straightforward cleansing step of your skincare routine.

How quickly will I see results with this benzoyl peroxide wash?

Antimicrobial benzoyl peroxide works rapidly against acne-causing bacteria, so many users notice improvement in inflammation and fewer new blemishes within days to weeks. Individual response varies based on skin type and severity of breakouts.

• Kills acne bacteria on contact for fast reduction in pimple-causing microbes.
• Begins to penetrate and clear pores immediately during cleansing.
• Visible improvements often appear in the first one to four weeks of consistent use.

Can I use PanOxyl 10% on my back and chest as well as my face?

Yes — the formulation is suitable for both facial and body acne. It helps unclog pores across larger areas prone to breakouts, such as the forehead, chest, and back, and is packaged for convenient application in the shower or at the sink.

• Foaming texture spreads easily across back and chest.
• Targets clogged pores, whiteheads, and inflammatory lesions in body-prone areas.
• Non-comedogenic and unscented to minimize irritation on larger surfaces.

Will a 10% concentration make my skin overly dry or irritated?

Higher-strength benzoyl peroxide can increase drying for some people, but this wash includes moisturizers to help offset that effect. Start with once-daily use and increase frequency gradually to allow your skin to adapt, and always follow with a moisturizer suited to acne-prone skin.

• Formulated with hydration agents to reduce excessive dryness.
• Recommend beginning use once daily, then progressing if tolerated.
• If irritation occurs, reduce frequency or consult a dermatologist.

How should I use this cleanser for best results?

For effective cleansing, wet the area, apply and massage the foaming wash for one to two minutes, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Use once daily at first, and increase to two or three times daily only if your skin tolerates it or as advised by a healthcare professional.

• Wet skin, massage cleanser for 60–120 seconds, rinse completely.
• Start with daily use; move to up to three times daily as needed.
• Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes; wear sunscreen when exposed to sun.

Who is this for? This cleanser is intended for teens and adults dealing with mild to severe acne who are looking for an over-the-counter, dermatologist-favored benzoyl peroxide treatment strong enough to tackle stubborn pimples on the face and body. It’s a practical choice for those who want a single, science-forward step that both treats active blemishes and helps prevent new ones while keeping a simple routine. People with extremely dry or sensitive skin should introduce it slowly or consult a dermatologist before use.
