I love this stuff. It has changed my life. If you have bad acne maybe try what I have tried. So what I started doing is instead of using liquid foundation I switched to powder foundations. I then started using panoxyl face wash in the morning, then moisturizing with the panoxyl moisturizer. I then will do my light make up look to make sureit doesn't clog my pores. At night, use a miscellar water make up remover, then wash face with the panoxyl, then a light moisturizer like aveeno for example. This way you aren't using too many different things. She is right about the bleaching!! Some of my pillow cases got bleached at first but then I realized I wasn't completely washing it off. So just be thorough and you will be fine. :)

I’ve tried almost everything but I recently bought the Avon clear skin blackhead set…it doesn’t work pretty well but it works on my nose,I use the exfoliation cleanser and the mask and then the toner it comes with and lastly Nivea soft moisturizer..I’m trying to add the panoxyl to my routine to hopefully get rid of it.

I think it's best to get them extracted by a beautician or dermatologist and then trying to figure out what's causing them in the first place like your diet (such as consuming too much added sugar, wheat-based food, processed food, fast food, or any food intolerance; like soy, spices, milk, bread (wheat/gluten), eggs, chicken, etc).

What's your skin type? If it isn't dry, you don't need to use a moisturizer-this may even make your blackheads worse. Did you get the 10% Panoxyl Cleanser? If so, yes-that one is pretty intense. In my opinion, the 4% is enough. Still, I highly recommend cutting down on the food and drinks I mentioned above because sugar and wheat aren't that kind to our skin.

Pm: Cerave gentle oily facial cleanser + panoxyl +CeraVe moisturizing lotion. For the first week, can I use panoxyl 4 times a week to see how it works? I also have very oily skin.

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Жыл бұрын
Hello Emeka, Do you have the Gentle Foaming Cleanser? You don't need to use the CeraVe moisturizing lotion, as the Black Girl Sunscreen should be hydrating enough. Using the lotion might be too rich and could lead to more breakouts. If you feel that the Black Girl Sunscreen is not hydrating enough, you could use a Hyaluronic Acid toner or serum in between. Here's a suggested routine: AM: Clean face with CeraVe Foaming Cleanser, alternating with the benzoyl peroxide cleanser Pat dry with a clean towel Optional: Apply Hyaluronic Acid toner or serum Wait 1-2 minutes Apply Black Girl Sunscreen (make sure to find the right formulation for your oily skin, so it should be a light fluid!) PM: Clean face with CeraVe Foaming Cleanser (should be able to remove the sunscreen unless you wear mineral SPF) Pat dry Optionally, apply your Hyaluronic Acid toner or serum Yes, diet and hormones can play a role in acne. However, people's reactions to foods can vary, and what may cause acne for one person might not have the same effect on another. It's challenging to figure this out, and the best course of action would be to visit a doctor (if you can) to get personalized advice for optimal results.

Aveeno moisturizer with salicylic acid 3. CeraVe daily moisturizer with SPF 30 PM: 1. I double cleanse: First with Albolene oil cleanser for my makeup and sunscreen and then Cetaphil daily cleanser 2. Aveeno moisturizer (the same one) 3.

Hey! :) For how long were you using this routine, and for how long were you using Benzoyl Peroxide? Those are only treatments, not cures. It can help you reduce acne, but it does not mean you won't get new ones. Using a 4%-5% Benzoyl Peroxide cleanser and Differin gel works well for me. I also do not use a moisturizer. If I need hydration, I just use a hydrating toner/essence or serum. You need to figure out what's causing your acne so that it will stop. Have you ever changed your diet? I have recently stopped eating/drinking dairy (including milk) and added sugar products. So, far my acne has been reduced dramatically. Not only on my face but on my back as well.

Well, personally, I have not yet achieved an entirely clear forehead, since I have not figured out the underlying cause of it. I assume it must be related to stress or certain food I consume, so that would be something for you to look at. But yes, you can use the 4%; it's just as effective from my experience as the 10%, but with less irritation. Also, the formulation suits me better than CeraVe; maybe that is also the case for you. :) I always have some mild irritation or redness when using it too often. Therefore, I only use it now when I have acne flare-ups, and as soon as the acne has no "stuff" in it anymore, I stop. So I only use it to target the areas like so: kzbin.infohdZKPkiwx7U

I recommend using a gentle cleanser to remove makeup or sunscreen. If you do not wear any, you can just use the cleanser immediately. I have a guide which you can see right here: How to Double Cleanse with Benzoyl Peroxide: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaOrnq2gqdyejJI And don't use the exfoliating acid cleanser with Benzoyl Peroxide. Use them at different times.

You do not need to double cleanse in your case. I recommend doing it like this: AM: - Gentle Cleanser or Panoxyl's Cleanser - Moisturizer - SPF PM: - Gentle Cleanser or Panoxyl's Cleanser - Moisturizer You can use Panoxyl's Cleanser once or twice per day daily if your skin can tolerate it.

Personally, I would not add such products. If you've managed to get rid of the acne, your main goal now should be to fade the post-inflammatory erythema. This condition will likely disappear on its own, though it may take several months. The best thing you can do is to protect your skin from sunlight whenever possible, allowing it to heal naturally.

Hey! :) Do you know the cause of your acne? Like something that you eat, stress, hormones, allergy, etc..? You can try and exchange your Salicylic Acid Cleanser for a Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser. However, I recommend getting a 4%-5% Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser. The 10% is too strong. Also, it's fine to just use that cleanser on your cheek to avoid irritating your entire face when it's not needed. Keep in mind that it is a treatment not a cure. You would need to know what's causing your acne to change it so that it won't reappear.

You are good to go if you do not leave it on your hair for a long time. So, if you just cleanse your face and it is only exposed to the product for 1-2 minutes, you won't have any issues. And yes, if you use multiple products with Benzoyl Peroxide for a more extended period, it could lead to redness, dryness, or even bumps on the skin as the skin cannot handle it anymore. So best to use only 1 Benzoyl Peroxide product at a time. Or, for example, if you use the cleanser, you could still "spot treat" the pimples with a gel, but don't use it all over. That is at least my experience and what has worked well for me.

I have never used Kojic Acid so I'm not sure about this combination. However, Panoxyl's 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser is pretty intense that I wouldn't use anything harsh afterwards. I just would use something hydrating or may a Niacinamide serum...something that isn't too acidic.

It depends on the vitamin c serum you have and your skin tolerance. Generally, if you have an Ascorbic Acid serum with 15%+, it may lead to irritation. But if you have a derivative or one with a lower % it may work well.

I have oily skin with pimples and blackheads, should I buy the 4% or the 10%? (To use twice a day) Some people says that the 4% is not strong enough, but then others says that the 10% is too much so I don't know what to do, I don't wanna waste my money By the way, I had experience using a 2% soap with benzoyl peroxide and it did nothing to me
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Жыл бұрын
Hey! :) I recommend starting with 4% since the 10% can be quite irritating on the skin. Or choose a 2% Salicylic Acid Cleanser like The Inkey List Salicylic Acid Cleanser. Do you currently use any skincare products? If so, what do you use? Generally, Benzoyl Peroxide, Salicylic Acid, Niacinamide, and/or Retinol/Retinoid should help regulate oiliness and reduce breakouts. As for your blackheads, if they are too deep into the skin, I recommend extracting them (or get them extracted) from time to time and then maintain it with your routine.

"Skin pores are tiny openings on the skin that serve as a passage for hair follicles, oil glands and sweat glands. Pores help regulate body temperature, hydration levels and allow for the release of sweat, sebum, and other bodily secretions. They play an important role in keeping the skin healthy and protected." You can regulate skin oiliness and therefore reduce the appearance with specific treatments. From my experience, it works best with retinol or retinoid such as Adapalene (differin gel).
