Overview
A 5.5 oz tube of PanOxyl's maximum-strength foaming face and body wash, formulated with 10% benzoyl peroxide, the highest over-the-counter concentration, aimed at treating and preventing acne breakouts.
Benzoyl peroxide works antimicrobially rather than through acid-based exfoliation, and PanOxyl's 10% strength is the ceiling for what is sold without a prescription. The formula is built for use on the face, chest and back alike, and includes added moisturizers specifically to offset the dryness that high-strength benzoyl peroxide commonly causes.
- 10% benzoyl peroxide, maximum OTC strength
- 5.5 oz tube, foaming wash
- Formulated for face, chest and back
- Unscented, non-comedogenic, added moisturizers
Who it's for
Suits people managing body acne or stubborn facial breakouts who want the strongest available over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide option. Less suited to anyone new to benzoyl peroxide or with dry, sensitive skin, since 10% is the maximum strength and can be harsh without a gradual introduction.
Pros and cons
- Maximum over-the-counter strength benzoyl peroxide
- Formulated for face, chest and back use
- Unscented and non-comedogenic

Performance notes
Benzoyl peroxide works by reducing the acne-causing bacteria on skin, and at 10% this is the maximum concentration available without a prescription. The unscented, non-comedogenic formula adds moisturizers to counter the dryness that strength typically brings, and it is built to be used across the face, chest and back rather than the face alone.
