5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Back Acne
I've had severe back acne for several years and even after fine tuning my muscles to perfection, I was still afraid to take off my shirt - at the pool, around girls, even for a massage from my girlfriend.
I tried tons of stuff that never worked. I searched on the internet and found a reference to this product. I tried it out and after using it on my back once a day...

3.0 out of 5 stars Worked as DIRECTED but for so little time...
This soap bar was effective after about 3 days of use. I used as directed for once a day until after the second day, when I used it twice a day to actually see a difference. It worked very well on my back acne, but after using it twice a day, it was done after two weeks from the day I started using it. If only it would work once a day, I would definitely buy more, or...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Back Acne, January 5, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I've had severe back acne for several years and even after fine tuning my muscles to perfection, I was still afraid to take off my shirt - at the pool, around girls, even for a massage from my girlfriend.
I tried tons of stuff that never worked. I searched on the internet and found a reference to this product. I tried it out and after using it on my back once a day while in the shower, I saw results after only 3 days. After 2-3 weeks of use, my back was virtually spotless. I'm so glad I found this soap!
Warning - I wouldn't use it on your face more than 1-2 times a week. I tried using it on my face everyday and after a week my entire face crusted up and I had to rub lotion on my face like 10 times a day to even go out in public.
Also, make sure you rinse your skin very well after use because it can bleach your bedsheets and clothing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product!, June 7, 2008
By K. McMahon (CO United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This product works better than anything I've used in my years of suffering with acne. I've used everything you can imagine and have spent a lot of money doing it. Salycilic acid (especially) and other treatments never really worked that well for me. I've discovered benzoyl peroxide works wonders and found a few really good products, but this one beats them all by far and is MUCH cheaper. I've read that this dries many people out, but it doesn't dry me out and my skin is not that oily. I guess if it dries you out, a good, lightweight oil-free moisturizer could handle it. It's worth the benefit of having blemish-free skin! By the way, I use it on my chest and back and have seen the same great results.

5.0 out of 5 stars Panoxyl 5% Bar, June 17, 2006
This review is from: PanOxyl Acne Cleansing Bar 10% Benzoyl Peroxide 4 oz (113 g) (Misc.)
I have used the 5% bar and have been impressed. I have had a couple of cluster breakouts for several weeks and was not getting any results from anything I tried. This was recommended, so I purchased it the other day. I have only been using it at night and have been very impressed. The breakout areas were immediately clearer (almost gone).

4.0 out of 5 stars Control bad breakouts without prescriptions., February 16, 2004
By Christopher Wanko "-C" (Nutley, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: PanOxyl Acne Cleansing Bar 10% Benzoyl Peroxide 4 oz (113 g) (Misc.)
I'm a believer in over-the-counter medicines as your second line of defense, prescriptions as your third. First is always what you eat and how you live... but no soapboxes here, just the soap itself.

Benzoyl Peroxide is a near-miracle medicine, as it works for most acne sufferers without prescriptions. The only time you need prescription meds that use this is when the delivery method is (somewhat) more effective at delivering more medicine at once or making it work longer by adding something to keep it from drying out too quickly.

However, most of us just need a good soap for the morning, after work, and bedtime. This is a little on the high side, but it does have the max percentage of medicine you can buy OTC, and it really does control bad breakouts. I wouldn't use it prophylactically, avoiding the risk of developing a tolerance for it, so the bar will last awhile if you use it during bad weeks.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lifelong battle has finally found a groove., August 22, 2007
By Christopher Greenwell (Louisville, KY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: PanOxyl Acne Cleansing Bar 10% Benzoyl Peroxide 4 oz (113 g) (Misc.)
You'd think that at some point in my 33 years that acne would cease to be a real problem. Untreated, not a chance, but PanOxyl really really helps. I used to use the "leading brands" and prescription meds for control. PanOxyl works every bit as well as my prescription cleansers (at a sixth of the cost) and a hundred times better than the other stuff. I use it morning, afterwork, and before bed and it doesn't seem to bleach out my towels, linens, or clothes nearly as bad as the "storebrand".

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great..., June 4, 2008
By Emmly (Midwest) - See all my reviews
I've been using this soap for about 3 years. I have oily, acne-prone skin with bad breakouts during "that" time of the month.

I do not use it every day. I noticed when I use it every day, it doesn't work as well. My skin gets used to it. When I use it once every 4-5 days, it works a lot better and faster.

I usually get these at WalMart, but you have to really look for them, they're usually hidden on some bottom shelf.

One bar lasts a long time, even if you do use it every day. I always buy 5 of these bars at one time that way, I don't have to hunt for them. The price is great too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear skin in a box!, July 6, 2009
By Joni Ellsworth "Rowdy Texan" (Red Oak, TX USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
My dermatologist recommended this soap to me, for my acne. I have had acne vulgaris and cystic acne for more than 20 years. I have tried every acne product out there, including ProActiv, and nothing works as good as this soap (especially in conjunction with my acne prescriptions!) I use the PanOxl soap every day, as my dermatologist recommended. My daughter also uses this soap (and nothing else) to treat her teenage acne. It clears her up within a day or two - every time!

The bar comes in a plastic tray with a lid, so you can keep it dry in the shower. One bar lasts me several months, with daily use. Some people will experience dry skin, and even redness and itching with this product. This will go away after some use, or you can skip a day here and there.

5.0 out of 5 stars I dont usually do reviews but..., October 13, 2008
Im so impressed with this product. I was in the salon getting my hair braided and my beautician commented that we had the same type of skin. (Oily and very sensitive) she told me about this product and since I tried everything else including Proactive and Murad and they never worked I figured it wouldnt hurt to give it a try. I used a colored washcloth and it did bleach the washcloth but it healed my skin in 2 days. I still get a few pimples here and there but Im so impressed. I get a lot of compliments about my skin now and that has never ever happened before. Im on my way back to Iraq and the weather really took a toll on my skin but Im convinced that with this product I will be just fine

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy and Effective, January 27, 2008
This review is from: PanOxyl Acne Cleansing Bar 10% Benzoyl Peroxide 4 oz (113 g) (Misc.)
The products that take 3 steps of washing and applying different liquids take an extremely long time and it's easy to skip a day or two. When that happens, those little red monsters start invading your facial space again. What is so great about the bar is that it is really EASY to use it every day. For people with horrible acne (like me)it is really important to be consistent. Just washing the face with it a couple minutes in the shower does wonders. Highly recommend this to people who are tired of zits encroaching on their self esteem.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Thoughts, June 26, 2007
By Katherine Joy Allgood (Birmingham, AL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: PanOxyl Acne Cleansing Bar 10% Benzoyl Peroxide 4 oz (113 g) (Misc.)
I am so pleased with this product. I have always used the PanOxyl Bar 5% and it just wasn't doing the job. The 10% strength made all of the difference. It has seemed to dry out my complexion without being too damaging. PanOxyl Bar doesn't bleach your clothes or towels like other acne-type products do. It does such a thorough job. BIG recommendation from me!
