At a glance

Your questions, answered

The 10% PanOxyl shredded my face - is 4% actually worth bothering with?

Very much so. Benzoyl peroxide keeps most of its acne-fighting ability at lower strengths with far less irritation - that's why this 4% creamy version exists as the daily-control option. Per the US label it treats acne and helps prevent new breakouts, in a creamier base that's kinder to the skin barrier.

How should I work it into my routine?

Use it like a cleanser with patience: massage over damp skin on face or body, leave it working for a minute or two, then rinse thoroughly. Once or twice daily as tolerated - follow the label directions closely, and ask a pharmacist if you're unsure whether it suits you.

Can I use it on my chest and back as well?

Yes - it's labelled for acne-prone areas generally, and the creamy texture spreads easily over larger zones in the shower. One practical warning from experience: benzoyl peroxide can bleach fabric, so switch to white towels and an old pillowcase while you use it.

Is this one gentle enough for sensitive skin?

It's the gentlest wash in the PanOxyl line-up, but benzoyl peroxide is still an active medicine - introduce it every other day at first, moisturise after, and step up as your skin proves it can handle it.
