Panoxyl Acne Creamy Wash contains Benzoyl Peroxide (4%), a powerful antimicrobial agent that is widely considered the gold standard for treating inflammatory acne. It works by releasing oxygen into the pores, which kills Cutibacterium acnes—the anaerobic bacteria responsible for breakouts. Unlike topical antibiotics, bacteria cannot develop a resistance to Benzoyl Peroxide. Additionally, the creamy formula acts as a "keratolytic," helping to shed dead skin cells and unclog pores, while the emollient base ensures the skin remains hydrated, reducing the irritation often associated with high-strength acne treatments.
In Nigeria, Panoxyl (by Crown Laboratories) is a premier clinical choice for managing persistent acne on the face, chest, and back. It is available through registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure customers receive authentic, high-stability cleansers manufactured under strict dermatological standards and stored in temperature-controlled environments to maintain the chemical integrity of the 4% Benzoyl Peroxide dose.
Important: This is a potent therapeutic cleanser. The "Bleach" Rule: Benzoyl Peroxide will bleach hair and colored fabrics (towels, pillowcases, and clothing). Use white towels and wash your hands thoroughly after use. The "Sun" Warning: This product increases skin sensitivity to UV rays; you must apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily. Do not use if you have very sensitive skin or an active eczema flare-up in the treatment area.
Panoxyl Acne Creamy Wash is primarily used to:
Kill acne-causing bacteria rapidly to prevent new pimples from forming
Clear existing inflammatory acne (red bumps and pustules) on the face and body
Unclog pores by removing excess oil and dead skin cell buildup
Reduce the redness and swelling associated with "under-the-skin" cystic acne
Prevent "Backne" (back acne) and chest breakouts when used as a body wash
Provide a more gentle, moisturizing alternative to high-strength 10% foaming washes
Act as a "Wash-off" treatment that delivers medicine deep into the pores without leaving a heavy film
This product is suitable for:
Teenagers and adults with mild to moderate inflammatory acne
Individuals with "Maskne" (breakouts caused by wearing face masks)
People with dry or sensitive skin who find 10% Benzoyl Peroxide too irritating
Athletes who experience body breakouts due to sweat and friction
Not recommended for: Children under 12 years of age unless directed by a dermatologist. It is strictly contraindicated for individuals with a known hypersensitivity to Benzoyl Peroxide. Use with extreme caution if you are already using other strong actives like Tretinoin (Retin-A) or Adapalene, as this can lead to severe dryness and peeling. Consult our pharmacist if you are pregnant; while topical absorption is minimal, it should be used judiciously.
Wet the area to be cleansed and apply a small amount of the creamy wash
The "Contact" Rule: Gently massage the wash into the skin for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the medicine to penetrate the pores before rinsing
Rinse Thoroughly: Use plenty of water to ensure no residue is left behind to prevent bleaching of your towels
Frequency: Start with once daily (preferably in the evening). If your skin tolerates it well, you may increase to twice daily
The "Pat Dry" Tip: Gently pat the skin dry with a white towel; do not rub harshly, as the skin may be sensitive
If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to every other day or use a non-comedogenic moisturizer immediately after washing
Panoxyl is effective, but some individuals may experience:
Mild skin redness or a "stinging" sensation during the first few days
Peeling or flaking of the skin (very common as the skin adjusts)
A feeling of skin tightness or dryness
Rare but serious: Severe skin irritation, crusting, or swelling
Rare: An allergic reaction (hives or difficulty breathing)
Seek medical advice if you experience severe burning, painful swelling of the face, or if your acne worsens significantly after two weeks of consistent use.

Can I use this with my Vitamin C serum?
Be careful. Benzoyl Peroxide can oxidize Vitamin C, making both products less effective. It is best to use your Vitamin C in the morning and your Panoxyl Creamy Wash in the evening.
Will this clear my dark spots (hyperpigmentation)?
Panoxyl is designed to stop the acne. While it doesn't directly fade dark spots, by stopping new pimples from forming, it prevents new dark spots from appearing. You may need a separate brightening ingredient for existing marks.
How long does it take to see results?
Some people see an improvement in a few days, but it generally takes 4 to 6 weeks of consistent use to see a significant reduction in acne. Be patient and stick to the routine!
