Frequently asked questions

What is Panoxyl Wash used for?+
Panoxyl Wash is a topical wash that contains benzoyl peroxide and is used to treat acne vulgaris. It helps reduce both inflammatory lesions such as papules and pustules, and non‑inflammatory lesions like blackheads and whiteheads, improving overall skin appearance.
How does benzoyl peroxide work in Panoxyl Wash?+
Benzoyl peroxide releases oxygen free radicals when applied to the skin. These radicals create an environment that is hostile to Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria involved in acne, while also promoting exfoliation of the follicular lining, which helps unclog pores and reduce inflammation.
What is the usual dose of Panoxyl Wash?+
The dosing regimen for Panoxyl Wash is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, the product is applied to wet skin, gently massaged, and then rinsed off after a short contact period, but exact frequency and duration should follow the prescriber’s instructions.
Is Panoxyl Wash safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
