Used both the 10% and 4% , I like the creamy 4% much much better skin feels clean soft and comfortable. The 10% face was more of dry and slightly irritated/burned
Yes! I have had the same results.
Me too ✌
I guess 10% is for severe and bad acne
Very helpful thanks I’m 15 and how acne breakouts and this is very helpful I bought this stuff and it works really great
Thank you so much for such a thorough explanation and visual instructions!
You are welcome!
Your face is so clear of spots and discolouration it’s amazing 🤩 and clean
Thank you so much 🙂
Hi Melissa!
I watched your video before i bought the 4% Panoxyl Benzol Peroxide.
I noticed that I am purging in my 1st week of using it. It is my first time using benzol peroxide.
Is this normal or part of the process?
Thank you for answering!
Hey! :) Do you use it for your acne? How much acne did you have before using this cleanser? Where do you have acne- all over your face, or just on specific areas like your forehead, cheeks, etc.? How do you use the cleanser? Do you use any other skincare products?
Hey Mellisa .
Can i wash my face with panoxly benzol peroxide 4 % cleanser in the morning
And then wash my face with 2 % salicylic acid cleanser in the evening .
If that's okay for your skin, then yes. However, sometimes this can be a bit harsh on the skin, so you should test it first.
Hi, thank you for these informations and for your time. I have small questions about using panoxyl cream wash
- When should I use it ? Morning, before going to bed or any time?
- I am using another face wash , should I stop use it? Or it is okay?
- currently I use Acretin (before going to sleep) for my acne , at the morning I wash my face with my face wash then I apply Avocin to my face.. the question now , can I use panoxyl with this routine or not?
Thanks
Hello :)
Where did you get these treatments? Usually, they are prescripted by a doctor/dermatologist. And I am unsure if combining it with the benzoyl Peroxide cleanser is a good idea since it may become overly dry. Suppose you are in medical treatment by a doctor; I advise you to ask him to see what he thinks.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I got it by a doctor. Thanks for replying. I will ask my doctor
Hi Melissa! Thank you for all the insight! I’m looking into using the 4% to clear some stubborn neck acne. How would you recommend to incorporate PanOxyl with my routine and my other actives? Also do you recommend using snail mucin essence before or after PC’s BHA?
I have oily sensitive acne prone skin
Morning:
Cerave gentle cleanser
CosRx Snail mucin
Goodal Vita C
Neutrogena Hydro boost moisturizer
La roshe tinted mineral sunscreen
Night:
Double cleanse with ordinary squalene cleanser and gentle cleanser
Snail mucin
Rotating PC’s BHA/PC’s .3% retinol
Neutrogena hydro boost moisturizer
Hello :)
Do you have an idea what's causing your neck acne? 🤔
I assume you're referring to the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser. If so, I'd recommend switching to the CeraVe Foaming Cleanser, otherwise you might see an increase in pimples.
As for the choice between snail mucin or the hydro boost gel moisturizer, both serve similar purposes.
I would use it like this:
Morning:
Panoxyl Cleanser
(Optional) Goodal Vita C (sometimes these formulations cause more clogged pores, the reason isn't always clear)
Layer either snail mucin or Neutrogena Hydro Boost underneath, or simply use the sunscreen by itself if you'll be exposed to the sun.
La Roche-Posay Tinted Mineral Sunscreen
Night:
Use The Ordinary Squalene Cleanser alone, or followed by the CeraVe Foaming Cleanser (if you're doing this in the shower, the Squalene Cleanser will likely be enough, as you can properly rinse it off with warm water).
Pat the skin dry
Rotate between Paula's Choice BHA and Paula's Choice 0.3% Retinol
Finish with either the snail mucin or the Neutrogena Hydro Boost moisturizer, or you can leave it as it is. I've had a better experience when I don't apply anything else afterward, but it's something you'll need to test for yourself.
I hope this helps you!
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet No I don’t have any idea but maybe it’s hormonal? My skin on the face is clear but I have comedonal acne only on my neck. I’ve tried the foaming cleanser but my skin reacted better to the hydrating one. I will try this out, thank you!
@@timmyle9889 Acne is indeed perplexing. It could possibly be related to something you're doing, or have you considered factors like your laundry detergent or your clothing?
However, if it's merely comedonal acne affecting a specific area, you might want to try the solution I've shared in the following video. It's what works best for me: th-cam.com/users/shortshdZKPkiwx7U
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I use non fragrant detergent for sensitive skin so I don’t think it’s that and my clothing doesn’t touch my neck so I’m not quite sure. Hoping panoxyl will finally get rid of it! Also, when using snail mucin essence after PC’s BHA do I put it on right after or is there a wait time? I know the skin has to be damp when applying the essence so I wasn’t sure
@@timmyle9889 Well, yes, I also tried the non-fragrant detergent, and guess what? I have had more issues with that formulation than with my other one, so I changed back to a good quality detergent that contains it. I had the same experience with the dishwashing detergent; it was eco-friendly, but so aggressive that it bleached and stained my kitchen gadgets. I think that often these formulations can be very aggressive and could potentially be an issue. But yes, if it does not touch your neck, it could also simply be sweat, hormones, food, genetics, etc. I mean, there are so many factors to consider, making it hard to figure out. Sometimes I think the best solution would be living in the forest on its own, growing its own food for several months away from society, to see if that would make a difference. I assume the lifestyle factors or overall food quality are responsible for the acne that most of us have.
You can technically put the snail mucin right after the BHA, but I, for example, just use the BHA on its own and leave it as it is. But when I do sometimes use it, I give it a couple of minutes so that the BHA has enough time to penetrate the skin.
Hi Melissa! Thank you for making this video. I recently started using PanOxyl and have a few questions regarding my routine. I started using PanOxyl with hopes that the bumps on my skin would go away. I have oily acne-prone skin. I do have slight acne but it’s not that bad so i plan to only use PanOxyl when i have active acne. Do you think its okay if i use COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid as well as their AHA/BHA Clarifying toner after cleansing my face with PanOxyl or would it be too harsh for my skin? If yes, how should the sequence be? Toner first then the blackhead power liquid? Thank you for taking your time to read! ❤️
Hey! :)
Well, Benzoyl Peroxide also exfoliates the skin, so it could work with the Panoxyl Cleanser too. Otherwise, use a Gentle/Regular Cleanser when not having active acne and look for a BHA (Salicylic Acid) or an AHA/BHA mixture Exfoliant instead.
I'm unsure how well COSRX Exfoliating Acid AHA/BHA Toner or BHA Exfoliant work based on the pH and 'type' of Salicylic Acid they are using. You can try it and let me know, or look into Geek & Gorgeous, The Ordinary or Paula's Choice instead :)
This is exactly what i am abt to start using panoxyl nd BHA toner
Hi melissa!
I would like to ask some question.
1. What are the difference between foaming wash and creamy wash, and do they have the same effect?
2. Is jt a good idea to use etaphil gentle skin cleanser in morning and panoxyl creamy at night?
3. I have a lot of PIE acne mark, can panoxyl cramy wash remove it?
I would appreciate it if you reply to me
Hey! 😊 The percentage of Benzoyl Peroxide varies; I recommend choosing the one with 4% BP. Additionally, I suggest using a gentle gel-to-foam or foaming cleanser to wash your face.
You might also find this method helpful: th-cam.com/video/ZAqfCERnwkc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=57vj0IOH5oYjiegp
Thanks for the response, can i use BP for daily use and can it remove my PIE acne mark?
@@damienabel3040 I just use BP whenever I experience active acne. Once the bump/inflammation/pus is gone, I stop using it. I demonstrate everything in the video I've linked in my previous reply. As for your PIE, you may want to consider Azelaic Acid or Retinol. When using such treatments, use a gentle gel-to-foam or foaming cleanser to wash your face.
Okay, appreciate the information
Hi, I suffer from dry skin and cystic acne on the lower cheek area. They are red, inflamed and painful blisters that leave a red mark on my face when they leave and then come back. Will using Panoxil help me?
Hmmm, I'm honestly not sure. You could try it, but if you don't identify the underlying cause or determine what triggers it, the issues will likely return. It would probably be best to visit a doctor and see what might be causing it!
Can it remove whitehead,blackheads,acne and can this help shrink pores?
Well, it helps reduce several types of acne, yes, but it does not remove it. And since it also affects oil production, it technically can also make your pores less visible. However, for blackheads, it's really best to visit an esthetician who can extract them for you. Otherwise, you will have a hard time, especially if they are deeply embedded in the skin!
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thanks maam
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I have a sensitive skin,is it better to use the 4% ?
@@ethanalcantara6654 Well, it depends on your personal sensitivities, but yes, I would go with the lower strength.
Hi, I just recently discovered your channel and I was just wondering, can I use the panoxyl 4% creamy wash with the ordinary niacinamide? Can you please recommend a skin care routine for me?😢 I'm 19 and dry to normal skin.
Hey! :)
Yes, that's fine.
I recommend adding a hydrating toner and/or essence into your routine as well because Panoxyl can make the skin drier.
Since I have acne-prone skin as well, I prefer to not use a moisturizer because I feel like it works best when I just work with lighter hydrating products :)
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet may I ask what moisturizer you prefer to use with the panoxyl 4? (I also have acne proned skin, as well mild oily skin.)
I just started using panoxyl and I've been using the neutrogena hydroboost gel. Is that okay?
@@lilamae3308 Yes, that's fine. Use something lightweight.
Hi Melissa, so I was wondering if my face gets clear from this should I still keep using it to prevent future breakouts ? Also, does this only help acne clear up because I wanted to know if this helps acne scars as well? I wanted a face wash that would both target acne and acne scars left behind.
Hey! :)
Well, you need to figure out why you get acne, like what's triggering it. If you can change that, you can get your acne under control. If not, it will always come back. If it's hormonal or even through genetics, it may change with age.
Still, Benzoyl Peroxide can help to reduce it but don't forget, it's a treatment, not a cure. So, depending on what's causing your acne, it can come back but way less.
Do you have dark spots or physical scars?
You can reduce the usage over time if you get less acne.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you so much! i went to the doctors and because I have high testosterone that’s what causing it. I have PIE which are the red spots and some dark spots.
@@roxine7042 Have a look at the video below:

That's a routine that you can follow for your acne and dark spots :)
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you sm Melissa!! instead of differen gel I use faded topicals serum can that be a replacement ?
@@roxine7042 I haven't tried that one, but yes, you can still follow the routine and just replace Differin Gel with your cream.
Hey! , I have been doing CeraVe hydrating facial cleanser+CeraVe daily moisturizing lotion+Black girl sunscreen in the AM & CeraVe hydrating facial cleanser + CeraVe resurfacing retinol serum + CeraVe daily moisturizing lotion in the PM. I’m a 15 year old teen and I’m noticing a lot of purging from my retinol, is this too much for my teen skin? I have been thinking about switching to panoxyl acne foaming face wash to help with some of my purging from retinol. I’m just wondering would this be to much for my teenage skin and do I need to keep it simple or should I keep going? Your very helpful thank you so much!!!♥️
Hey! :)
What's your skin type?
Are you sure that your Retinol is causing it, not your hydrating cleanser or moisturizer?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet hi:)
My skin type is dry and I have been using my moisturizer and cleanser for a couple years with no problems, my skin started breaking out when I started using retinol. I have been thinking about just dialing it down to just cleanser,moisturizer + spf and exfoliate twice a week
@@lifewithzai3592 You may want to try Differin (Adapalene) instead. Still, yes, if needed, you could use a 4%-5% Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser as well. However, you may just want to use it every other day since you have already dry skin.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Ok thank you so much!! One other question is,
My nose is always very oily, no where on my face is oily except my nose. Do you know how I could possibly fix that? Does this mean that I have combination skin since my nose is oily but everywhere else is dry? Thank you so much Melissa! You are always very helpful & kind!♥️
@@lifewithzai3592 Well, you could use your Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser or Retinol/Differin gel mainly on the nose to reduce the oiliness and skip applying your moisturizer to that area too. However, it's very common to be oilier on the nose or even have larger pores compared to the rest of the face.
Thank you!🥰
Hey Melissa, thank you for this guide! I've got a question, however. Can I use this wash if I have SOME pimples around my face? Like occasional, I guess ‘breakouts’ around my cheeks, nose and chin?
I use the Cetaphil Extra Gentle Daily Scrub on my face typically twice a day and the lotion/moisturizer that I pair along with it is the Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion. For sunscreen, which I use when I only go out I use the Anthelios Ultra-Fluid SPF 50+ Facial Sunscreen. That is my routine.
I want to try and use the PanOxyl Acne Wash Benzoyl Peroxide Cream 4% on those little occasional pimples, like whitehead kind of pimples. It's very minimal but I'm afraid I might cause more of an issue trying to cure something that I guess I don't necessarily have. Please provide me with your input! 😭🙏
(also I think I may know what causes my small breakouts, possibly my food? Like when I eat unhealthy junk food, or when I don't sleep enough, drink minimal water, when I'm stressed, etc... I'm not sure if this is what causes it, just what I’m assuming based on my lifestyle... I’d go to a dermatologist but the drive is over 30 minutes so quite overwhelming! 😅)
Hey! 😊
What's your skin type?
How long have you been using Cetaphil's Daily Facial Scrub? I've used that one too in the past and liked it a lot. However, I couldn't use it daily, haha! 🙈 I preferred to use my regular foaming cleanser every day and Cetaphil's Gentle Scrub only 2-3 times per week.
However, yes, you can use this Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser whenever you get pimples. I do this too. See here: th-cam.com/users/shortshdZKPkiwx7U?feature=share
However, I wouldn't use the scrub on that day.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thanks for the quick response! 😁
I’m not sure what my skin type is. Probably sensitive? Not sure.
I’ve been using the Cetaphil Daily Facial Scrub for years, maybe 3-4.
So I was thinking, would I use the Cetaphil Scrub in the morning, and then use the PanOxyl all over my face like a normal face wash, and then apply the Cetaphil Lotion, then the sunscreen I mentioned. That would be my morning routine. And for my night routine I would use the Cetaphil Scrub and the Cetaphil Lotion and skip the PanOxyl to avoid dryness. Is that good? 😅
Thanks again!! ☺️
If you use that scrub daily, you do not have sensitive skin. 🙈 Just use your Panoxyl Cleanser whenever you get a few pimples. However, I do not recommend using that one all over your face if it's not needed; this way, you can lessen the damage on your skin.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thank you, I really appreciate the quick responses and the knowledge!! 😮💨😄
Hey ! Awesome video , I recently purchased this product mostly for my chest & back but the dark spots are my main concern. Do you have any recommendations for dark spots ?
Hey! :)
Panoxyl won't do much for your dark spots.
I haven't tried that much for my back and chest since I used to just get acne on my face but ever since not taking the pill anymore, I get acne on my chest and back as well. Those dark spots need quite a long time to fade. I have tried using an Oil like Rosehip Seed Oil or The Ordinary B-Oil. In the beginning I thought that it would do something but now I just think that it was a coincidence.
I'm going to try Vitamin C next. Specifically Timeless Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin C serum because that one contains Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate which should help with hyperpigmentation.
Hi Melissa, first let me say that your channel is very very helpfull
Hey! :)
I'm happy to hear that you have already seen improvements while using BP.
Yes, I'm using Benzoyl Peroxide regularly at least once per day. I just skip it when my skin feels too dry or a bit irritated because I like the combination of BP and Differin (however, it can cause dryness and sometimes sensitivity). Still I am also trying lots of different products every day.
Yes, I am aware of that BP can potentially cause free radicals which could lead to premature aging. I recommend looking into an antioxidant serum like Paula's Choice Berry Serum (just an example) that could help you to balance your skin. Otherwise, you may want to give Salicylic Acid a try in the future. Although for me, BP works the best.
You can use BP and Granactive Retinoid in the same routine or you can use BP in the AM and Gentle Cleanser + Granactive Retinoid in the PM. See what works best for you.
You can use BP in the AM and Gentle Cleanser + Peeling Solution in the PM, that's fine. Just keep in mind to use the Peeling Solution only once per week or even less often.
As for hydration, you can also look into a hydrating toner or essence + light moisturiser.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thanks for the answear and for the awesome job you’re doing ☺️👏🏻
May I know what does it smells like? I bought mine and making it sure that i got an authentic one online.
Hm... it smells like the water in a pool, haha! 😂 Like chlorine - that would be my best description of the scent.
Hi melissa! I have acne on my forehead and face and my doctor recommended me to use an acne face wash and I picked the Panoyxl 4%. My doctor also gave me clindamycin phosphate for my skin. How do you think I should use these? Thank you❤❤
So your doctor gave you these treatments and did not tell you how you should use them? 🤔 If so give him a call and ask him, because that is his job.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Well yes they did say to wash my face with the cleanser 2 times a day and apply it the cream 2 times a day as well. They said it needs 4 weeks to see the results. As of now, its my 3rd week I still don't think see any improvements I personally think its getting worse, but do you think I am doing something wrong?
@@ruqayyauddin5991 So do you experience any irritation? Or does the acne get worse? If the latter, I wouldn't be concerned too much because it can take several months until it gets better. But if you experience irritation, ask your doctor for more advice!
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Okay thank you so much!!!
@@ruqayyauddin5991 update?
Hey I have a question how often should I used it and what other cleanser should i used whenever I’m not using panoxyl, should I use cerave sa or Cerave hydrating facial cleanser?
This depends on your skin tolerance and needs. If you're not using the BP cleanser, opt for a non-treatment/non-exfoliating acid cleanser instead. You can choose either CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser if you have dry skin or CeraVe Foaming Cleanser if you have oily skin. Alternatively, you can simply wash your face with water and skip using a cleanser altogether.
what cleanser would you recommend if i wore spf in the day time, because i saw your comment saying that its best to use another cleanser if spf is worn.
Depending on how stubborn your sunscreen may be, you can use an Oil or Balm Cleanser (like The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser) at first and then follow with your BP Cleanser. Or use a Daily Gentle Cleanser (like CeraVe or Cetaphil) if your sunscreen comes easily off and then follow with your BP Cleanser.
Hello! Am I using this correctly?
I have acne prone, oily and sensitive skin.
AM: cerave foaming cleanser
The ordinary niacinamide
The ordinary azelaic acid
Spf
Pm: Panoxyl benzoyl peroxide 4%

@@michellesalazar6131 You do not have to use a moisturizer if you do not feel the need. However, if you have dry skin or dryness occurs over time, go ahead and add one! :)

@@Kate.Sangalang Well, it largely depends on how your skin reacts to the individual products. Generally, both are quite gentle, so it's worth a try. Just test them; they do not conflict, in case that's what you meant.

Can I use cerave renewing SA cleanser, panoxyl, serum, then moistirizer at night? Would this work well? And do I need to use toner and exfoliator?
Hey! 😊
What's your skin type, and what are your skin concerns? I would recommend using a salicylic acid cleanser or Panoxyl (benzoyl peroxide cleanser) to treat and reduce your acne.
What serum and moisturizer do you have? Do you also have a regular foaming cleanser?
Hi Melissa! Thanks a lot for what u do, very very helpful as always :)! Question, I'd like to start with Panoxyl because every face cleanser breaks me out badly... and my face only seems to tolerate Cerave foaming cleanser but it ends up, after a few days, always breaking me out in little red bumps with sebum inside.
I have a routine in the morning consisting of: Vitaminc C (Sesderma), Effaclar ultra concentrated serum (La roche), niacinamide essence (wild dew treatment essence by Peach and Lily), and isdin water fusion color sunscreen. I'd like to know if it's ok to use the Panoxyl wash? Like is it ok to incorporate it in my routine and won't have any reactions with the other products? At night I just use: Sesderma azelac ru and a niacinamide essence (the same wild dew treatment essence), Idk in which routine is better to incorporate the Panoxyl, please help
Hello MerMayd,
Since you wash the cleanser off, there is no reason for concern since it cannot directly interact with the products you leave on the skin.
And have you ever tested a Salicylic Acid cleanser? Such as The Inkey List SA cleanser or CeraVe Acne control cleanser? 🤔
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Perfect, thank you! Yes, but only the Eucerin dermopure one with SA (that was pretty much the last ingredient), dried my face and also broke me out after a few days. Which one out of the two you mentioned would you recommend? My skin is only oily in the T zone and I only get pimples there, the rest of the face is super sensitive and in general all face is acne prone. Sometimes I get this ocasional painful hard pimples like 1 or 2. Also I was wondering if it'd be a bad idea to mix a bit of the panoxyl with my cerave foaming cleanser? Thanks for your time!
@@MerMayd The overall formulation likely dried out your skin and not the SA. So I prefer The Inkey List SA cleanser. And I wouldn't mix the cleansers, but what you could do is use the SA cleanser on the oilier parts and the foaming cleanser on the rest of your face. Or try to alternate days, or use one in the morning and the other in the evening.
This is out of topic.. but if I had to choose between ordinary aha+bha peeling solution and 7% glycolic acid toner. Which one should I get? I have active acne😥
None of them. I suggest using either Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. For example, the cleanser that I showed in this video or The Inkey List Salicylic Acid cleanser. Or, if you want a leave-on solution, use Paula's Choice 2% BHA. The Ordinary once had a 2% Salicylic Acid but it has been out of stock for ages 😞
I have acne and severe dark spots on butt and the hipdip area. Also have ingrown hair.
Should I use benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid body wash or both?
And should also use any gel like adapelene?
How many times to use those products?
Please let me know. I'm 17.
You can try either one of them-it really depends on how your skin responds. My skin tends to do better with Benzoyl Peroxide. However, I also recommend looking into the root cause of your acne in the butt/hip area. What type of fabric is your underwear made of? Is it the right size? Is it breathable? Do you wash your underwear regularly? Do you shower daily? Alternatively, it could be the washing detergent you use or something you eat or drink regularly.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I wear cotton cloth and it is absolutely breathable. Yes, I shower daily. And I also maintain a quiet healthy diet and use normal detergent.
However my family members also eat the same food, use same kind of cotton and detergent to wash them. But only I have this problem. So think its genetically carried.
What do you call a healthy diet? I thought my diet was healthy too.
Processed food, fast food, wheat (grass-based products) like bread, and foods and drinks that contain added sugar aren't good for our body and skin, and they can cause multiple problems, including acne. Basically, eating whole foods that do not come with an ingredients list is healthier. Additionally, you may react to your detergent-it doesn't matter if your whole family uses it (the same applies to food) if your body reacts to it.
Hi Melissa, I am wondering if I can use this cleanser for day and night or just once a day? Or should I have another gentle cleanser at night to get rid of spf and such? Thanks!
Yes, that is what I recommend doing. Use two cleansers, one that is gentle and suits your needs and skin type. Otherwise, it can become too much very quickly.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDietoh is cetaphil cleanser alright to use with panoxyl? It's the only cleanser I have rn. thank you so much

hi Melissa!
i have closed comedons, white heads and little black heads. Around once a week I get a stubborn pimple or too (idk if it is cystic acne tho) will the panoxyl 4% or 10% be better for that?
I also have combination skin type. My nose, chin & forehead (t zone) get oily during the day, the rest of my face is pretty normal/bit oily but on a part of my cheek i have very dry skin and on the side of my face (end of eyebrow to end of eye) would the benzoyl peroxide dry it out?
(btw i am an early teen!! and suffered with acne for 3 years!!)
would you recommend using 4% or 10% for me? do you think i should use a mix of both? (example: 4% most of the time and 10% once or twice a week)
and also, last question, can I use the cerave daily moisturising lotion or the cerave pm after using the panoxyl?
i have been using the cerave sa cleanser and was thinking about maybe swapping it with the panoxyl
thank you so much for your time 💓💓☺️☺️
Hey! :)
Benzoyl Peroxide is an acne treatment, so it's great for pimples (whiteheads)/acne in general!
As for your blackheads, I think it's best to get them extracted with a tool (or DIY at home) and then maintain them with your Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide cleanser.
I recommend choosing the 4%. Also, as I've mentioned in the video, it's fine to use the BP cleanser only when and where you get acne; you do not need to use it all over.
Yes, you can follow with your CeraVe moisturizer afterwards, although I recommend just using a moisturiser if you have dry skin or experience dryness over time. Again, you do not need to use the moisturizer all over. Alternatively, you could use a hydrating toner or serum instead, as they help to hydrate the skin but don't feel heavy on the skin :)
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you so much for your advice!! ❤️
Hi melissa...
I wash my face with panoxyl 4% every night, and the next morning I use cetaphil gentle skin cleanser. Is it ok if I going out without applying sunscreen? Coz I think that the effect of the benzoyl peroxide has disappeared after one night.
Thx.
Using a benzoyl peroxide product like PanOxyl 4% can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, as benzoyl peroxide is known to cause photosensitivity. This effect does not disappear overnight. Even though you wash your face in the morning with a gentle cleanser like Cetaphil, your skin might still be more vulnerable to UV damage throughout the day.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiethow long do I wait to go back into the sun
@@FrankCastle65 You can use sunscreen throughout the day to protect your skin.
Hello! I just watches your vid and it's very informative 🫶🏻 Though may I ask if it 's necessary to use toners with AHA/BHA with the 4% Panoxyl Creamy Wash? thanks a lot!
I mean for the COSRX clarifying toner or somehow the Some By Mi AHA/BHA toner too, is it okay to use one of these after cleansing with Panoxyl 4% Benzoyl Peroxide? Thank you so much!
I wouldn't do that since it is only increasing irritation risk. So my advice is only to use hydration afterwards or during the day sunscreen if you have lots of sun exposure.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet oh my! thank u soo much! 🫶🏻
@@babypandyy7354 😃
How long can one bottle last? I'm using it once a day and it's only been three weeks but the bottle has only 10% left. Am I using it too much? Or is it supposed to finish so quickly?
I haven't tested it, but that sounds about right!
Can I use this as my main and only cleanser day & night ? I bought this a week ago hopefully I’m using it right
Yes. However, if you have worn SPF and/or makeup during daytime, I recommend washing your first with a balm or oil cleanser and then follow with your BP cleanser! :)
Hi Melissa..Can I use the ordinary Alpha Arbutin after using Panoxyl 4% wash at night?
Yes you can! :)
hey beautiful can i use BHA, niacinamide and tranexamic acid together ?
The Inkey List recommends not using Exfoliating Acids (BHA/AHA) and Tranexamic Acid in the same routine. So, keep them separate. However, you can use BHA and Niacinamide together and Niacinamide and Tranexamic Acid, that's fine.
Hello! I had a question I’m hoping you can reply :)
I am using the PanOxyl Acne creamy wash 4% daily control. And I have normal skin I have acne right just because of hormones. But I’m trying to figure out if I should use a moisturizer or is it okay to just use cleaner?
Hey! :)
Technically, you can just use the cleanser. However, I recommend looking into an Antioxidant serum or moisturizer as Benzoyl Peroxide can be a bit harsh on the skin.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thank you so much for replying! This is very helpful for me!
Have a good day 🥰
I have sensitive skin with very mild acne and few dark spots. So i started using beminimalist niacinamide 10% zinc serum in night routine from last week. I felt mild irritation in my face. Can i use clindamycin clear gel in morning routine and niacinamide serum in night routine? Will it be heavy concentration for my face?
Yes, that's fine or do it the other way around. Use Niacinamide in the AM and your gel in the PM. Do you use a moisturiser? Otherwise you could dilute Niacinamide with a moisturiser so that it isn't as strong anymore.
Yes i use moisturiser after niacinamide. So if i use clindamycin phosphate gel at night, don’t i need to put moisture on top of that?
So, instead of layering Niacinamide and your moisturiser, mix it! Use 2-3 drops of Niacinamide with a bit of your moisturiser and then apply it! :)
Well, how do you usually use your gel? Do you use it with moisturiser? If so, then yes follow with your moisturiser afterwards.
Actually when i had acne with more darkspots, my dermatologist suggested me to use clindamycin gel in the morning and layer it with sunscreen. I followed the same. I didn’t used moisturiser.
@@gayathrisivaprakasam5042 Ok, so if that worked well for you then keep on doing this and use Niacinamide in the PM either on its own or with a moisturiser.
Hey I just got it and I was wondering if I can use salicylic face wash at night and the penoxyl in the morning thanks a lot
Yes, this can work :)
If I have used panoxyl in the past with a high percent two times a day should I slowly start from the bottom again? I’ve been willing to give it a try at a lower percent.
If you already used the 10%, I am sure that you tolerate the 4% well. I also changed it, and the results are the same. So based on my experience, you do need to start slowly. But just test it :)
If I use panoxyl at night
What cleanser should I use at the morning??can I only use miceller water and rinse it off???
Also, I have combination skin
You can either just wash your face with water, or micellar water, or with a gentle cleanser like CeraVe or Cetaphil! :)
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet okay thank youuu!❤
Can i use both panoxyl 4% and the ordinary salicylic acid, Or using one of them is enough?
I think one is enough, and I would recommend using benzoyl peroxide, especially if you are dealing with a lot of acne or breakouts.
Been binging your channel and im getting so much info!!! I need some help with my own skincare routine if you don't mind! So currently i have:
-The Ordinary Retinol 0.1%
-The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin
-The Ordinary Niacinamide
-The Ordinary AHA BHA
How do you think i should go on?
What Ordinary Retinol do you use?
You can use Alpha Arbutin and Niacinamide daily in the AM and/or PM. Use Retinol and Peeling Solution in the PM only. Keep the Peeling Solution and Retinol separate. Use the Peeling Solution once per week.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet im using the Retinol 1% in Squalene and thank you for the recommendation!

Hi melissa!
Mine doesn’t end up being white when I rub it on my face, it becomes transparent not white like yours.. Does it mean that mine is fake? :(
No, you might be using more (or less) water, more (or less) product, or, if your skin is oilier, it might not foam as well. You could also try the following method: th-cam.com/video/hdZKPkiwx7U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3nbfljuZLgs_rLPW
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you!! 💗
I just bought this cleanser and I wanted to use it every 3 days because a lot of cleansers make my face dry. My question is what is a good moisturizing cleanser i can use between those days?
Yes, that's fine.
You could use a balm cleanser when not using the BP cleanser. Like The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser or Beauty of Joseon :)
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet ohhh i just looked up beauty of joseon and its relatively a good price.
@@davidc1678 That's a really good cleanser! :)
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet is it the green plum one or the oil one youre recommending?
Both are great :)
Hii I recently went to the dermatologist and they recommended me using the cerave hydrating cleanser and the Panoxyl acne creamy wash4% should I use both? Or just stick to Panoxyl creamy wash?
did they say anything else? If not, it is likely to balance it, such as hydrating cleanser in the morning and the benzoyl peroxide cleanser in the evening or the other way around.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDietthank you!
i’ve been using this every 2 days, but i still get acne 😕 how long does it take for the product to fully stop my acne?
It will not entirely stop your acne; it is an acne treatment, not a cure. If you do not figure out the cause of your acne, it will likely come back (forever) or may get much less as you get older because hormones may change and other "things" in your body.
How is ur acne now
@@0w0-p2q it’s still there, maybe worse tbh
How is ur acne now??
hello! i'm planning to buy this product since I have pimples and mostly closed comedones. do u think this will help my skin problems? I've tried a salicylic acid facial wash before but it didn't work so i'm hoping a benzoyl peroxide one will work
Well, I cannot tell you if it helps for you, but for me, it works great on my acne, and it should also work for closed comedones. Although, in my opinion, it works better than Salicylic Acid, still it is also way more irritating, so you need to keep the frequency in mind and reduce it if you experience too much dryness.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet tysm for replying! ur videos are so helpful for me🤗❤️
@Amelia Morris hi! yup I tried it but unfortunately it didn't work for me :( it made my bumps worse
If I am a beginner with dry skin can I use it every other day ? And in the days I don't use it can I use another facewash
Yes, that's a good idea. Just make sure to moisturize your skin well after you have used it, not to dry it out even further. Use a moisturizer that's not clogging the pores.
Hello! i bought the benzoyl creamy wash, it’s not supposed to foam right? it look like a clear gel when i apply it to my face
See here: th-cam.com/video/hdZKPkiwx7U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lZifp1Gi5dx7H3UP
Hi, what products can you mix with the 10% Panoxyl for hyperpigmentation?
I recommend keeping it simple...use your BP cleanser and Sunscreen in the AM and Regular Cleanser and a brightening serum (like Niacinamide or Vitamin C) or Retinol/Retinoid in the evening.
Have a look at this video here:
How to use Panoxyl Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser and Differin Gel for Acne-Prone Skin: th-cam.com/video/nu1Wo9O_6e0/w-d-xo.html
Can rosehip oil be used in the same routine after Panoxyl 4% for hyperpigmentation?
Yes, but using oil might not be a good idea for acne-prone skin. It doesn't work for me.
Hello :) I have a question, can I use vitamin c the morning and this cleanser at night ?
Hmm 🤔 what do you want to do?
Hey alkysa can I use a ha serum and a moisturizing sunscreen and just skip moisturizer when using panoxyl
yes
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet ty so much
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet hey one more question Melissa can I use possibly Panoxyl 4 percent wash daily if my acne is flaring up but then just using it 4 to 3x a week once it’s calm down cause I also use adapelene in pm everyday paired with a ha serum and moisturizer
@@Zander.Toledo Yes, that's fine. However, I recommend using a non-BP or Exfoliating Acid cleanser when using Adapalene in the evening.

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet alright thankyou
If I have a beard,can I use it on my face ?
Yes, however, make sure to properly get it out of your beard! :)
Do i immediatly wash off the moisturizer or do i leave it on for a certain amount of time?
You leave it on until you wash your face for the next time; it should protect the skin from water loss and add hydration to the skin. Just make sure to find one that is not clogging your pores! ;)
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Okay thank you so much ❤
@@jackpuma8498 😃
can you use this panoxyl BP wash along with adapalene on the night time with a moisturizer?
From my experience, this can become irritating very quickly, therefore I think it is best to use it at different times like this:

Hii PLEASE HELP!! I used panoxyl on my face and i have a million small bumps all over, they are also itchy, what do i doo!! Will it go away ): what should i put on it
What strength do you use, and what else do you use? Do you have acne-prone skin? In your case, it's advisable to stop using it for now so that your skin has time to calm down and recover.
Would it be okay to use the cerave cream to foam cleanser and this product together. I have mild acne and combination skin.
Yes, that's fine! :)
Hey i have been thinking about having the panoxyl facewash, cerave oily skin moisturizer, and differin gel. How about this routine?
And i really appreciate that you reply to every comment. It's really pretty awesome. Thank you for your awesome job
This may work. However, I recommend using the BP Cleanser in the AM and Gentle Cleanser + Differin Gel in the PM. Do this at least for some time to see how your skin responds to it before using your BP cleanser + Differin Gel.

Hey! :)
Overall your skincare routine looks great for someone who's trying to get acne under control :)
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thank you! Is this routing also good for hyperpigmentation or would you recommend adding anything else?
@@strongandhealthy1111 Well, the Differin Gel should help to fade your hyperpigmentation, too, because it increases cell turnover. However, you could also look into a Niacinamide product (Toner, Essence or Serum) which you can add to your AM routine! :)
I have a question, can you use cerave cleanser and panoxil foaming wash at the same time?
Hello 😃 What CeraVe cleanser do you want to use and why do you want to do that 🤔
Can I use the 4% daily and the 10% once in a week or twice
If that works for you, yes :)
Off topic but can I use Paula's choice 2% exfoliant and the ordinary niacinamide at the same time? If so, in what way or order do I apply?
Yes, apply the BHA first and layer Niacinamide on top.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet also after applying panoxyl to the specific area can I still use the cerave hydrating cleaner on the rest of my face as well as that area?
@@Marco1702_ yes, correct.
Can we use soap while washing it off??
Hmm, what do you mean? It's a cleanser, so consider it your 'soap' 🙃.
Hello, do you still use toner at night?
Suppose you have a soothing and hydrating toner, yes. But if you have Glycolic Acid or Salicylic Acid (BHA), it's probably too harsh for your skin.
can this cleanser help with whiteheads and blackheads?
Yes, however, I'm not sure how effective it is for blackheads since I do not have this issue but it works on overall acne/whiteheads! :)
We use this face wash daily??please answer 😊
If your skin tolerates it, then yes. However, I would only use it if you have acne, and I recommend using it like this: th-cam.com/video/hdZKPkiwx7U/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet but when I used it I had irritation and also like tingling in my face and my skin be rough what should I do?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet oh my goodness I used directly as cleanser is it correct 👍
But tell me what should I do? Please
@@aminazaidi1690 If that's the case, use it less often. What are your skin concerns? And what strength of BP do you use?
Yes, you can use it directly as a cleanser. However, it's still a potent treatment cleanser, so I recommend using it only when necessary or when experiencing acne. If that's not the case, use a regular cleanser instead. Also, apply it only where needed to minimize irritation. If you're removing sunscreen and/or makeup, I recommend using a different cleanser.
is this cleanser safe for dry to normal skin?
Do you have normal to dry acne-prone skin?
And yes, it has a hydrating formulation; still, my advice would be to follow it with a moisturizer. (that won't clog pores)
Can we use the facial wash everyday?
It depends on your personal skin tolerance, so you need to test it and see how it goes. If you experience sensitivity, then reduce the usage to every other day while alternating with a milder, hydrating gel to foam cleanser, something like Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Cleanser or Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet ah ok i have cetaphil. I like how u always reply ur follower comment. Its been quite awhile i watch ur vid. Hehe ❤️
Can I use it in the morning and night?
According to their advice, it can be used up to 3 times daily. But as I explained in the video, it mainly depends on your skin condition and if you tolerate it that often. So you need to adjust it constantly.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet okay thank you!!
can i use this even without acne to prevent acne?
Have you ever experienced acne? 🤔 If not, you do not need it.
yes, i actually get acne quite often, but sometimes i don’t
@@jemm2196 So, yes. You can use it to prevent new acne as well as lessen acne in general.
can this help reduce blackheads and whiteheads?
Technically it should help you, yes. However, I think it is best to extract them with a tool.
can i use this daily? (once a day)
Yes, according to Panoxyl, it can be used up to 3 times daily. However, you need to adjust it to your personal skin tolerance, which means if once a day is too much, reduce it. But if you can see hardly any results and do not experience irritation, increase it.
Saludos Melissa! Hope all is well.

🥰
I have sensitive skin is 4% of panoxly good for sensitive skin
No, if you have sensitive skin do not use Benzoyl Peroxide.
I'm so afraid it will get bad on my skin ❤
Try it on a smaller area first to see how your skin reacts to it.
Still, I also recommend looking into the root causes of your acne, such as lack of sleep, stress or mental health issues, environmental factors (air & water quality, washing detergent, etc), and especially your diet (such as consuming too much added sugar, processed food, fast food, or any food intolerance; like soy, spices, milk, bread (wheat/gluten), eggs, chicken, etc).

I recommend using your BP Cleanser in the AM and Gentle Cleanser + Adapalene Gel in the PM. This way it isn't as irritating.
can i double cleanse before this? like cleansing oil,gebtle cleanser then this?
