How is panoxyl acne treatment?
I have tried basically everything there is for acne. How is this product? Do you have to get it over the counter? I heard somebody say it bleaches clothing. Does just the acne treatment do that, or does the soap bleach as well? Does it work for back acne? And do you have to get this product over the counter? (The only place on my face that is somewhat sensitve is my chin, so sensitivity isn’t really an issue.)
I don’t want to know about other products that could work better, i want to know specifically about panoxyl. Also, which strength would be good?

Panoxyl works well and quiet fast because it releases oxygen to the skin but because of benzoyl peroxide (an active ingredient proven to be effective towards acne) causes mild to severe dryness and irritation. I used 5% and still caused my skin to dry severely. I recommend you use this only twice a day and purchase an acne cream that you can apply directly to the acne, and use a moisturizer that are non-comedo and oil-free. I recommend a green tea moisturizer or something that contains aloe vera, it soothes the skin.
Benzoyl peroxide is the ingredient that causes bleaching.
