PanOxyl Acne Gel Wash 2% Salicylic Acid — 6.5 oz | Gel-to-Foam Cleanser, Moisturizing & Mattifying

PanOxyl Acne Gel Wash is a gentle gel-to-foam cleanser with 2% salicylic acid that helps clear existing acne and reduce new breakouts while moisturizing and mattifying the skin.

If you're fighting recurring blemishes but don’t want an overly drying scrub, this PanOxyl formula blends a proven 2% salicylic acid exfoliant with skin-supporting botanicals and oil-control actives. The result is a daily face and body wash that penetrates pores to remove dirt and excess oil, helps reduce the appearance of redness, and leaves a more matte finish thanks to Zinc PCA. It’s fragrance-free and formulated without parabens or phthalates.

How does this wash target breakouts without harsh dryness?

The 2% salicylic acid in PanOxyl penetrates pores to loosen and remove trapped oil and debris, addressing the root contributors to blackheads and pimples. Rather than stripping the skin, the gel-to-foam base pairs exfoliation with moisturizing ingredients so the skin barrier stays supported.

• 2% salicylic acid exfoliates inside pores.
• Betaine helps replenish moisture balance.
• Blue algae and aloe vera soothe and hydrate as it cleanses.

Will this help control shine and oily skin?

Yes—Zinc PCA is included specifically to target excess surface oil and reduce the look of shine. Regular use can help mattify complexion while other botanicals support skin comfort and tone.

• Zinc PCA minimizes excess oil for a matte effect.
• Lightweight gel-to-foam texture rinses clean without residue.
• Green tea extract adds antioxidant support for healthier-looking skin.

How gentle is the formula for sensitive or redness-prone skin?

The formula is fragrance-free and includes soothing ingredients like aloe vera, blue algae, and allantoin to help calm irritation and reduce the appearance of redness. While every skin is different, these supportive ingredients aim to clean effectively with less irritation than harsher detergents.

• Allantoin helps soothe and hydrate irritated skin.
• Aloe vera and blue algae offer calming moisturization.
• Free from parabens and phthalates to minimize irritants.

How should I incorporate PanOxyl Acne Gel Wash into my routine?

Use this wash once or twice daily depending on skin tolerance: massage onto damp skin, let sit briefly if desired for deeper pore penetration, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with a lightweight moisturizer and SPF in the morning; reduce frequency if you experience dryness.

• Apply to damp skin, lather, then rinse well.
• Start with once daily, increase as tolerated.
• Complement with moisturizer and daily sunscreen outdoors.

Who is this for: PanOxyl Acne Gel Wash is suited for people dealing with oily, acne-prone skin who want a non-prescription, dermatologist-trusted cleanser that combines a potent 2% salicylic acid treatment with ingredients that hydrate and calm. It works for both facial and body acne, and for anyone seeking a mattifying daily wash that limits harsh dryness. If you have severe sensitivity, consult a dermatologist before starting any new active treatment.
