This maximum-strength foaming wash from PanOxyl contains 10% benzoyl peroxide, the highest concentration available without a prescription. It is perfect for acne-prone skin on the face, chest and back. The formula works quickly to target inflammatory blemishes and helps prevent new ones from forming. It cleanses and unclogs pores while also incorporating moisturizing support to help combat dryness often associated with acne treatments. 

Benefits

• Kills over 99% of acne-causing bacteria in 15 seconds.  
• Clears existing breakouts and helps prevent new blemishes from forming.  
• Suitable for use on face, chest and back — perfect for body acne as well as facial acne.  
• Includes moisturizing and barrier-supporting ingredients (e.g., glycerin) to help reduce dryness associated with acne washes.  
• Fragrance-free, unscented and non-comedogenic — designed for acne-prone skin without added scent irritants.  

Direction to Use 

1. Wet the area to be cleansed (face, chest or back) thoroughly.
2. Apply the wash and gently massage into skin for 1-2 minutes.  
3. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
4. Begin use with once-daily application; if tolerated and needed, gradually increase to twice daily or as directed by your dermatologist.  
5. Because benzoyl peroxide may bleach fabrics (e.g., towels, pillowcases, clothes), avoid contact with dyed fabrics or use an old white towel when using the product.  
6. If dryness, irritation or peeling becomes excessive, reduce usage (e.g., every other day) and follow with a non-comedogenic moisturizer.

Main Ingredient :

Benzoyl peroxide (10%) is the star active. It is a potent antibacterial and keratolytic (skin-cell shedding) agent that penetrates pores to eliminate the bacteria responsible for inflammatory acne. It also helps loosen and clear clogged follicles, thereby reducing the formation of new breakouts. Because it is oxidizing, bacterial resistance is extremely unlikely — meaning it remains effective even when antibiotics are not. 

However, benzoyl peroxide can increase skin dryness, redness, irritation, and may bleach fabrics, so it should be incorporated thoughtfully within a skincare routine.
