Reddit mentions of PanOxyl Foaming Acne Wash Maximum Strength 5.5 Ounce

Panoxyl body wash benzoyl peroxide bodywash. It works great. You can get it at any grocery store or pharmacy, it's easy to find. My back and shoulders cleared up really well. I wash all the grease off first with regular body wash, then wash with this so it gets right to the skin.

Use just a little bit and don't let it sit on for too long before rinsing, it can cause irritation of sensitive areas. In fact, you may want to use it just every other day. Also, rinse of extremely thoroughly or it will bleach your towels. You'll probably need to use lotion afterwards, but it works.

Thats a possibility if you aren't taking a shower after you sweat.

If you stand under the shower with hot water hitting your shoulders the whole time, that could be a problem.

Having your shampoo sit on your shoulders is also a possibility.

or they could be dehydrated. I suggest you get some Panoxyl body wash (like $10 at walmart) and use that only on your shoulders since its kinda expensive. Then after that use a moisturizer like Cerave moisturizing cream

This looks very minor, there is no scarring, and there are no flakes and rough regions. what can clear this in my experience as a guy with lots of acne but experiment with different substances through the year have found some that worked and some that don't work so much. If you are a shaver, apply cream and shave normally, if you have an electric, rinse and shave as lightly as you can before you move on. My advice for this particular case was to start from a small solution since it's not as bad as mine with 1% Salicylic acid and use it for a few weeks. Do it in the shower and don't scrub too hard and dab face with towel after leaving shower. if you don't see any significant changes and the pimples and inflammation persists, up the does to 2% salicylic acid, stronger might not mean better but I have seen changes in my skin when I use it so try that for a week. If still no difference, you can cocktail it as follows. In my experience you should never use something with Benzoyl peroxide in it all over your face (especially the one I have been using which has 10% concentration, HOLY BALLS!!! that was a lot. as a result my skin got super irritated and burned, and I got redness everywhere). What I use the Benzoyl peroxide for is for dabbing it on the severe areas (where there is a zit, and/or large bumps) it's best for concentrating on specific regions because of it's strength. leave it there for almost 5 seconds (any more time then it's start the burn) and rinse (make sure it's all gone because mixing this product with others is not recommended, we are trying both to tackle specific areas while at the same time keeping the rest of the face under control.) then move on to using the salicylic acid solutions all over your face to keep everything under control. Back to regarding the Benzoyl peroxide. No matter which solution works the best, when pimples start to disappear it leaves behind scars and discoloration, in order to solve this in some cases you would use a scrub with honey and oatmeal (or make a mask with honey and oatmeal in it) as the antioxidants could help remove the bacteria that remains and restore skin pigmentation.

be sure to keep your skin moisturized and keep your body oil secretions under control with this routine. Using the 1% salicylic acid solution helps keep everything in check, it clears dead skin cells from pores and keeps the sebum from being trapped in the hair follicle and then creating another zit. It also helps keep your skin moisturized so there is no rough spots and peeling skin (if you ever get sun burnt, aloe helps but don't force it if you are really proud of your clear skin because you will get redness that will take time to go away as it's elasticity isn't as active as the skin on the rest of your body).


If all fails, visit a dermatologist, he/she will probably prescribe you things that can't be bought over the counter that contain ingredients like clindamycin phosphate, glycolic acids, etc. she might also give you surgery if your skin fails to restore it's natural pigmentation. Here is a list of the solutions I have been trying.


There are a variety of the Salicylic acid scrubs that even the grocery store generics work, pay close attention to the drug facts.

• 1% Salicylic Acid Solution This green tea one has been keeping me moisturized and could be used for your routine once everything is clear.
  
  
• 2% Salicylic Acid Solution There are a variety of 2% solutions but it sometimes doesn't matter what it is.
  
  
• 10% Benzoyl peroxide, Steer clear of overusing this one as it is strong and could cause some long lasting burns. use only in small areas according to my experience. And don't leave it on your skin too long and make sure you rinse all of it away before you move on to the other solutions.
  
  
• Honey and Oatmeal scrub, Possibly could help restore skin pigmentation if scars are left behind, you'll start to notice them get lighter without the solution sometimes, Be aware that some redness aren't scars, they are either burns from the peroxide or pressure points from touching your face.
  
  
• 100% Aloe Vera There certainly is no shortage of aloe in the drug store or supermarket. but here you go. this is for general use in my book when you run out of ideas lol. But it's a good idea to apply to face and stand in front of a fan for it to dry. Leave it on your face for a good 10 to 30 minutes depending on what makes you comfortable, it really doesn't matter.
  
  Be aware that not all products at the store feature drug facts (because the meds in the market are loosely if not barely regulated by the FDA), keep an eye out so you know what you're putting on your face. also Don't scrub super hard. and don't scratch. It's good that you are tackling this at a young age, just simply using the solution I suggested to keep things under control once you get rid of the mess will most likely keep it at bay, taking action after it gets bad is cause for seeking medical attention as keeping it under control on your own is like herding cats.

My legs have never looked back. http://www.amazon.com/Panoxyl-Foaming-Acne-Wash-5-5/dp/B004N12A9Q/ref=sr_1_5_s_it?s=beauty&rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1462247519&sr=1-5&keywords=panoxyl&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011. you can also use water but I became very oily by noon). Has anyone heard of the other products could inactivate the sun protection last much longer.

Panoxyl 10% BP Wash (make sure its the 10% not the 4% and in cleanser form not the bar - the bar isn't as effective in my opinion) - literally my HG chest cleanser. My derm recommended it to me 2 years ago and I have never looked back.

you can also get it from any drugstore. i personally buy the wal-mart knock off version now (equate is their brand) and its like $6 compared to the $10-$12 you spend at a drugstore or on amazon. i will warn you, though, walmart doesn't always have it in stock so you may have to just bite the bullet.

its a thick clay like consistency and doesn't always foam so much so I'm not sure why they say "foaming cleanser" - but you'll feel it working. The first time i used it, it stung a bit but now I don't feel anything. Basically, you squeeze some out of the tube onto your hands and massage it on your chest, then let it sit for 2-3 minutes - i usually do it first thing in the shower and let it sit while I wash my hair and use my regular body wash on the rest of my body then rinse all al the same time. But, do whatever works best for you.

warning - make sure you rinse it off completely, since it is thick some might get left behind and unless you have white towels, you will bleach everything that touches it. with that being said, do not do this at night. I did it at night once upon a time - and i woke up the next morning to bleach stains all over my grey pillowcases and sheets. stomach sleeper + benzoyl peroxide = tie-dyed sheets :/ of course, if you have white towels and white sheets (which i have since switched to as a precaution) then you don't need to worry about that happening and can do it any time you want! But, i figured I'd spare you form learning the hard way like me...just in case :)

let me know how you make out!

edit : i also stopped using dryer sheets altogether on my clothes and i found that made a difference in my skin overall (ymmv). so if you use any, my rec would be to use the free and clear liquid softener instead.
