[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cleanser is simply amazing. It cleans the skin really well without leaving it dry or tight, which is hard to find in acne treatments. It’s perfect if you have acne and sensitive skin, because it does its job without being harsh. Since using it, my skin feels clean, calm, and much more balanced. I absolutely loved it 😍 and it’s definitely a product that can’t be missing from my skincare routine. It’s effective, gentle, and truly delivers on its promises.

Gentle and effective
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fragrance-free gel wash is a game-changer for acne-prone skin. The packaging is a sturdy, squeezable plastic tube with a secure flip-cap, clear labeling, and a clean, professional design—easy to store in the shower. The consistency is a smooth, clear-to-translucent gel that’s lightweight and non-sticky. The texture feels gentle and soothing on the skin, thanks to ingredients like aloe vera and allantoin. It lathers into a soft, creamy foam with just a little water—nothing overly bubbly or drying. After rinsing, skin feels clean and refreshed without excessive tightness; the hydrating elements (betaine, blue algae) help prevent that stripped feeling common with acne washes. Powered by 2% salicylic acid, it deeply cleans pores, controls oil, and helps clear breakouts effectively yet gently. Perfect daily cleanser—highly recommend!

Would use again!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This acne gel cleanser works really well. It doesn't smell like much and is clear. It's the exact gel consistency you would expect it to be. And it did a great job of clearing up my daughter's acne!!

Acne face wash
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product overall is a face acne wash which I tried for everyday. Definitely feel like for me it helped when I was breaking out but not for everyday face wash. If you do not acne prone skin I would not recommend for everyday. Overall felt like there was some foam but not as much as I would like.

Love it!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I let my brother use this soap for his acne and now he won’t give it back. He says it’s gentle in his skin, doesn’t smell weird, and leaves him feeling clean. His redness went down a bit as the acne started to go away. He uses it in combination with another gentler soap.

Skin is clear and confidence is back!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have previously used a competitors version of this product and have not enjoyed the packaging. I love how this bottle comes with a pump for easy use, and it works just as well as the other acne product I have tried. I would love to try the body spray that pairs with this product to really help manage my body acne from sports and activities. I highly recommend this product to someone who sweats a lot and is active, who also has sensitive skin. I use moisturizer after using this product in the shower to ensure it does not dry out my skin.

Great Brand
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our family loves using PanOxyl products for their affordability and effectiveness. This cleaning gel is a great size to keep on the bathroom counter or in the shower. My teens use it as well. I received this product complimentary of Influenster in exchange for my honest review.

Necessity for acne prone skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a staple cleanser - I use it every day. It lathers well, doesn’t sting or strip or anything bad, I keep it on my face for a few minutes while brushing my teeth, and it keeps my acne under control.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been very impressed with the PanOxyl Acne Cleansing Gel. I have definitely noticed a significant improvement in my skin's clarity since starting to use it. A major positive for me is that the formula is very gentle despite being effective; I experienced absolutely no irritation or dryness, which can be common with acne treatments. The product has a soft scent that isn't overpowering, and it rinses cleanly without leaving any residue. It’s become a key part of my routine, and I highly recommend it for clearer skin.

Does as it claims!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This acne cleanser has been amazing for me and my teen! We both have clearer and softer skin. It doesn’t dry out our skin or leave any residue feeling. This is being added as a great addition to our routine. The pump is easy to use and the product is easy to apply and rinse off. It is worth a try for all ages in my opinion. It’s a good sized bottle so should last awhile and is worth the price.

Did not break out my acne prone skin!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first face wash I have loved in a long time! I have acne prone skin that is more on the dry side. This face wash did not break me out AT ALL!! It also did not dry my skin out. I think this product would work for anyone in your household. This was a 10/10 for me!

Go to for acne
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My go to acne wash! I’ve been loving using this. Sometimes I’ll get random breakouts that take what it seems like forever to get rid of but that wasn’t the case with this cleanser. It lathers so well and doesn’t dry out my skin. Def a new acne staple for me!
