PanOxyl Acne Treatment Bar, For Face & Body , 4 oz (113 g)

✅ What it is

• The bar is labeled as “Acne Treatment Bar “face & body” 4 oz (113 g)”. 

• Its active ingredient is 10% benzoyl peroxide (BPO) — the maximum strength available without a prescription in many markets. 

• It is marketed as a “soap-free, deep cleansing, pH-balanced face and body bar” for treating acne on the face, chest and back. 

• The inactive formulation is fairly minimal for a bar: Aqua (water), Cetearyl Alcohol, Decyl Glucoside, Dextrin, Glycerin, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate. 

🧴 Key Benefits & Features

• High-potency antibacterial action: The 10% BPO helps kill Propionibacterium acnes (bacteria associated with acne) and unclog pores. From the DailyMed label: “Benzoyl Peroxide effectively penetrates pores killing the bacteria that cause acne” for this product. 

• Face & body coverage: Because it's a bar format and soap-free cleansing bar, you can use it on larger areas like the back and chest where breakouts often happen, not just the face. 

• Soap-free & pH-balanced: Unlike traditional soap bar formulas, this one claims to be soap-free (less harsh) and suitable for acne-prone skin.

• Fragrance/dye free / vegan: Some listings note that the bar is free from added dyes and fragrance (which is helpful for acne-prone or sensitive skin). 

🧾 How to Use

• Wet the affected area (face, chest, back) as you normally would. 

• Work the bar into a lather in your hands. 

• Spread the lather over the entire affected area (thin layer) and then rinse thoroughly. 

• Start with once daily usage; if tolerated, you may increase to two or three times daily (especially if body breakouts) as directed. Because BPO can increase sensitivity, avoid excessive sun exposure and use a good sunscreen. Avoid contact with eyes, lips, and broken skin; avoid contact with dyed fabrics or hair (BPO has bleaching potential). 

👤 Who It’s Best For

• Individuals with moderate to severe acne, especially if it involves body areas (chest/back) or larger zones rather than just isolated spots.

• People with oily or combination skin that can tolerate strong actives and may need something more than mild cleansers.

• Users who prefer a bar format (versus foaming wash) and want a product they can use in shower for body acne as well.

• Those willing to support a strong treatment with proper barrier care (moisturiser, sunscreen) because of the potency.
