  • Impressed with how quickly and well it worked -- recommend 👍
Scent: Unscented Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
First let me start off by saying, I've actually used the product since October and wanted to provide others with the outcome I've had. If using a wash cloth, it will turn bright Orange and anything that touches it that's cloth material will turn bright Orange. If you have your cloth and put another on top while both are wet, you'll now have 2 with atleast spots of Orange. If you use a loofah this does not seem to change colors and holds up better than a wash cloth. I did notice you need to be generous with the amount used to get a good lather going, but in my opinion, it is totally worth it. I've battled chest acne for over 20 years with many things just irritating my skin more. I started to see results within the first 2 weeks. It does not leave my skin oily, red from irritation or anything. I've tried some soaps that made it worse due to my many allergies. I would definitely recommend trying this product. A bottle lasted me about 3 months and is way cheaper than many of the other products I've tried. ... show more

  • Best for BO
Scent: Unscented Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have suffered from armpit BO all my life (I’m 28 now). I came across this cleanser years ago on a YouTube video from a dermatologist I follow and she recommended this, but when you’ve tried almost everything you don’t have any hopes so I didn’t try it. I had try vinegar, baking soda with lemon. Baking soda with lemon does work but application is messy. Vinegar also works but is not very long lasting. Tea tree oil its also good, but then again, not that practical. I have tried every deodorant, the more effective were clinical degree in conjunction with vinegar cause on its own it doesn’t last. My armpits sweat too much and that in combination with bacteria creates BO. A couple of years I saw a video that recommended african black soap. I tried and it really worked, that’s when I realized that baby soap that my dermatologist prescribed for my atopic dermatitis was not doing a very good cleaning bacteria on my armpits. I bought another african black soap, but the bars were just too big and it came a mess easily, and it was not as good as the previous brand I used before. It is also worth mentioned that my body gets used to every new deodorant real fast. I then tried perspirex, which I used the blue one which is the strongest (up to 5 days) but I can only go as far as 3 days and my armpits where smelling again. I came across a tik tok video which recommended Panoxyl again, I decided to give it a try and bought it on Amazon without any high hopes. I tried immediately and it was the miracle I was waiting for. I used the 10% concentration and my armpits do not smell AT ALL. I use it like this: everyday when I shower, I put the tiniest bit amount on every armpit (a little goes a long way and remember too much can dry your skin), it says to give it a massage but I usually just leave it for 1-2 min and then remove it. Then I put The Ordinary’s Glycolic Acid (This is a habit I created before trying Panoxyl and because I burned my skin using Perspirex 6 hrs after shaving, Glycolic Acid did help with hyperpigmentation and bad odor, but as the other remedies, it is not as long lasting) and I still use the same perspirex blue one that I first bought since I haven’t run out of it. I used perspirex after 5 days just because it says this is the longest you can go, but I didn’t have any BO, and the next day I still don’t smell anything. The only test that I haven’t done yet is under workouts as currently I can’t workout because I’m fasting, but before when I ended my workout my BO was really bad because of the sweating, but even if I haven’t tried it, I know it won’t disappoint as even when there’s an issue it will be fixed when you shower or you can do it just before the workout. I thank Panoxyl for this since I have fought BO since I was in my teen years, this gave me so much insecurity, I tried everything and still I didn’t smell good, which was really unfair and people always criticize. That’s why I’m leaving this review, maybe it can help somebody else. My sister had the same issue, a little more mild than me and now she is just as in love and recommended it to everyone we know that suffers from this. She uses The Ordinary’s Glycolic Acid and the Vichy red deodorant. On the face, I rarely have breakouts but this week I had two minor breakouts and this helped them cure really fast, asI guess it kills the bacteria. I only used it on the breakouts and not the rest of my face, as I’m scared it might dry out my skin and I have oily skin and live on tropical humid weather. If you are dry skin or live on colder or dryer place it might be best to watch out as the product could be drying or make your skin sensitive. ... show more

  • Loved it but had to stop
Scent: Unscented Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Loved the product, saw progress in my acne quickly. It does burn even at the 4%. I had to stop using it because I woke up one morning and it looked like I had been crying, face puffy and a rash broke out around my eyes and on my forehead. I do believe I’ll come back and try it again at a later time.

  • Good for body odor
Scent: Unscented Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I had noticed that my armpit body odor has gotten strong since I’ve entered menopause. A dermatologist made a tiktok stating that this stuff is good for controlling that odor even though it is primarily sold for acne. I shower everyday but still have to clean my armpits mid day. This works much better than regular body soap. I’ve noticed that I don’t smell as bad as I used to. ... show more

  • Clear skin, bleached towels
Scent: Unscented Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Great for clear skin, horrible for colored towels. Be sure to use only white towels as the residue from the wash will bleach your nice colored towels. My kids have ruined all my towels, but their skin looks amazing!

  • Best wash for breakouts even on my dry skin
Scent: Unscented Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is my favorite face wash for breakouts. It is very drying but as long as you moisturize afterwards it’s very effective.
