ProductKey ingredientFormatMain role
Acne Foaming Wash 5.5 oz£30.99View product 10% benzoyl peroxide Rinse-off foaming wash

Acne cleansing for the face, chest and back.

Foaming texture with the higher benzoyl peroxide concentration of the two washes.
Acne Creamy Wash 6 oz£27.99View product 4% benzoyl peroxide Rinse-off creamy wash

Acne cleansing for the face, chest and back.

Creamy texture with a lower benzoyl peroxide concentration than the 10% wash.
Acne Gel Wash 6.5 fl oz£26.99View product 2% salicylic acid Rinse-off gel-to-foam wash

Helps clear clogged pores, blackheads and whiteheads.

A salicylic acid cleanser that is rinsed away after use.
Acne Treatment Bar 4 oz£23.99View product 10% benzoyl peroxide Rinse-off cleansing bar

Face, chest and back acne cleansing in a solid bar.

A soap-free bar format, rather than a tube of wash.
Adapalene Gel 0.5 oz£26.99View product 0.1% adapalene Leave-on retinoid gel

A once-daily acne treatment.

A treatment gel with its own directions and precautions; it is left on the skin.
Acne Banishing Body Spray 6 oz£29.99View product 2% salicylic acid Leave-on body spray

Helps clear body blemishes and clogged pores.

A 360-degree spray nozzle helps reach areas such as the back.
Antimicrobial Purifying Mist 3 oz (85 g)£26.99View product Hypochlorous acid Leave-on facial mist

Purifying and soothing support for blemish-prone skin.

A supporting skincare step; not a standalone acne treatment.
PM Overnight Spot Patches 40 patches£19.99View product Hydrocolloid dressing Adhesive spot patches

Absorbs fluid and helps protect covered blemishes from picking.

Targeted cover for individual spots, applied to clean, dry skin.

Compare the format as well as the percentage. The 2% Salicylic Acid Gel Wash is rinsed off; the 2% Salicylic Acid Body Spray is left on the body. Purifying Mist contains hypochlorous acid and has a different skincare role.

These are different product options, rather than steps to use together. Follow the directions and warnings on your chosen pack. A higher percentage does not automatically make a product the right choice for your skin.

Ingredient knowledge

Understand What’s Inside.

Learn what gives each formula its role. Choose an ingredient or material to explore how it works and where you will find it in the PanOxyl range.

Antibacterial Acne Cleansing.

Benzoyl peroxide helps reduce acne-causing bacteria on the skin. This is one of the ways it works as an acne treatment.

In this range, it is found in rinse-off cleansers. The 4% Creamy Wash, 10% Foaming Wash and 10% Treatment Bar use the same active ingredient in different strengths and textures.

Keep in mind

The percentage tells you the concentration of benzoyl peroxide. It does not describe the texture, the whole formula or how your skin will respond.

Where you’ll find it

Exfoliation for Blocked Pores.

Salicylic acid helps exfoliate the skin and open clogged pores. Exfoliation means helping remove a build-up of dead skin cells, which can contribute to blocked pores.

PanOxyl uses 2% salicylic acid in both the Acne Gel Wash and Acne Banishing Body Spray. The ingredient and percentage match, but the complete formulas and product formats differ.

Keep in mind

The Gel Wash is rinsed off. The Body Spray is a leave-on treatment for the body. Follow the directions for the exact product you choose.

Where you’ll find it

A Retinoid That Helps Clear Pores.

Adapalene is a retinoid acne medicine applied to the skin. Topical retinoids help clear pores and can treat blackheads, whiteheads and some pimples.

PanOxyl Adapalene Gel contains 0.1% adapalene in a leave-on gel. It is an acne treatment with its own directions, age guidance and precautions.

Keep in mind

Compare the ingredient name as well as the number. Percentages for different ingredients cannot be used on their own to rank products by strength or suitability.

Where you’ll find it

Purifying & Soothing Skincare Support.

HOCl is short for hypochlorous acid, a substance also made by the body's immune system. In skincare, it helps reduce bacteria on the skin and calm visible irritation.

PanOxyl uses hypochlorous acid in its Antimicrobial Purifying Mist. The manufacturer describes this as a supporting skincare step that can complement a broader acne routine.

Keep in mind

Purifying Mist is not a standalone acne treatment. Its ingredient and skincare role differ from the 2% salicylic acid Acne Banishing Body Spray.

Where you’ll find it

An Absorbent Cover for Individual Spots.

Hydrocolloid is an absorbent dressing material. In a spot patch, it absorbs fluid while covering the blemish and helps protect it from picking.

PanOxyl PM Overnight Spot Patches provide targeted cover for individual blemishes. They are applied to clean, dry skin and worn overnight according to the pack directions.

Keep in mind

Hydrocolloid describes the patch material. It is a different format from a cleanser or a leave-on acne medicine, with its own application steps.

Where you’ll find it
A closer comparison

4% or 10%?Look Beyond the Number.

Both washes contain benzoyl peroxide and are rinsed off after cleansing. The concentration is one part of the comparison: texture, skin tolerance and the directions for the exact pack matter too.

4% Benzoyl peroxide

Acne Creamy Wash

6 oz tube

  • Creamy cleanser texture.
  • Lower benzoyl peroxide concentration of these two washes.
  • For acne on the face, chest and back.
  • Rinse thoroughly after cleansing.
Explore the 4% wash
10% Benzoyl peroxide

Acne Foaming Wash

5.5 oz tube

  • Foaming cleanser texture.
  • Higher benzoyl peroxide concentration of these two washes.
  • For acne on the face, chest and back.
  • Rinse thoroughly after cleansing.
Explore the 10% wash

Keep Skin Tolerance in the Picture.

Benzoyl peroxide can cause dryness and irritation. A higher concentration does not automatically make a wash a better choice for your skin.

If you are new to benzoyl peroxide, unsure which wash to choose or already using another acne treatment, ask a pharmacist or other qualified healthcare professional for advice.

Important for Both Washes.

Use the directions on your own pack for cleansing time and frequency. Both washes are labelled for the face, chest and back.

Benzoyl peroxide can bleach hair and fabrics. Read the full warnings, rinse thoroughly and take care with hair, towels and clothing.

Practical product use

Build Understanding Before a Routine.

Understand each format before deciding how it fits into your skincare. These are different product options, each with its own application method, directions and warnings.

Rinse-off care

Cleanse. Then Rinse.

The Creamy Wash, Foaming Wash, Gel Wash and Treatment Bar are all rinsed away after cleansing.

  • Use the directions on your chosen pack for the amount, cleansing time and frequency.
  • Rinse the cleanser away thoroughly, then gently pat the area dry.
  • For the Treatment Bar, work it into a lather in your hands before applying.
Compare the cleansers
Leave-on care

Check Each Formula.

Adapalene Gel

A leave-on acne treatment. Follow its own application frequency and precautions.

Acne Banishing Body Spray

Leave on the body. Do not spray this product on your face.

Antimicrobial Purifying Mist

Apply to cleansed skin and allow it to absorb. Do not rinse it off.

Compare the leave-on options
Spot patches

Start With Clean, Dry Skin.

PM Overnight Spot Patches have their own application steps:

  1. Cleanse and fully dry the area before applying.
  2. Place a patch over the individual spot and leave it on overnight.
  3. Remove slowly, then cleanse and dry the area.
View the overnight patches

Keep the Rest of Your Care Gentle.

Gentle Cleansing.

Wash gently with your fingertips. Abrasive tools and scrubbing can irritate skin. Avoid picking or squeezing blemishes.

Support Moisture.

Look for a moisturiser labelled “non-comedogenic” or “won’t clog pores”. Moisturising can help with dryness associated with acne treatments.

Protect Skin Outdoors.

Use shade and sun-protective clothing. For exposed skin outdoors, choose a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.

Common concerns, explained

Understand Blemishes.
Know What to Expect.

Different skin concerns need different kinds of support. These explanations can help you understand a product’s role and recognise when professional advice matters.

Understand Skin Concerns.

Blackheads & Whiteheads.

Both form when oil and dead skin cells block a pore. Whiteheads stay closed; blackheads have an open surface. The dark colour of a blackhead comes from the pore contents reacting with oxygen in the air.

Inflamed Spots & Deeper Lumps.

Inflamed pimples can look swollen and may contain pus. Nodules and cysts develop deeper in the skin and can be painful. A professional assessment can help identify the cause and appropriate care.

Flat Marks & Scars.

Flat colour changes can remain after a blemish has healed. A colour mark and a scar that changes the skin’s texture are different concerns. Ask for advice if marks or scarring persist.

Set Realistic Expectations.

Progress Takes Time.

Acne treatments can take several weeks or longer to show visible improvement. Follow the directions for your chosen product. Changing acne treatments very frequently can irritate your skin.

Laboratory Claims Need Context.

Laboratory bacteria-reduction results measure a different outcome from visible improvement in acne. They do not predict how quickly your own blemishes will clear.

Patches Have a Focused Job.

Hydrocolloid patches absorb fluid and help protect a covered spot from picking. They offer limited help for blackheads or deeper closed blemishes. “Overnight” describes the wear time; it is not a promise that every spot will disappear by morning.

Skin suitability & important information

Different Products.Different Precautions.

Review these key precautions, then read the full instructions and warnings supplied with your exact pack. Age guidance, sensitivities and application rules vary across the range.

Age Advice Is Product-Specific.

The US Adapalene Gel label gives directions for adults and children aged 12 and over; for children under 12, it says to ask a doctor.

Check the age instructions for every other product separately. For a child, get professional advice if the pack does not clearly establish suitability.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding.

Do not use Adapalene Gel during pregnancy or while planning a pregnancy. If you become pregnant while using it, stop and contact your doctor.

If breastfeeding, ask a doctor before Adapalene use. During pregnancy or breastfeeding, get professional advice before using other acne medicines.

Check the Precautions for Your Formula.

Benzoyl Peroxide Cleansers.

4% Creamy Wash · 10% Foaming Wash · 10% Treatment Bar
  • Avoid these products if your skin is very sensitive or you are sensitive to benzoyl peroxide.
  • Keep the cleanser away from the eyes, lips and mouth. Hair and dyed fabrics may be bleached.
  • Limit unnecessary sun exposure and use sunscreen.
  • If irritation becomes severe, stop using the product and ask a doctor.

Adapalene Gel.

0.1% adapalene · leave-on retinoid
  • Do not apply to cuts, grazes, eczema or sunburn, or use it if you are allergic to adapalene or another ingredient.
  • Apply no more than once per day. Extra applications can worsen irritation.
  • Avoid the eyes, lips and mouth; flush with water immediately if contact occurs.
  • Limit UV exposure, use sunscreen and do not wax hair from treated skin.
  • Stop and ask a doctor for severe irritation or an allergic reaction, or if there is no improvement after three months of once-daily use.

Salicylic Acid Gel Wash.

2% salicylic acid · rinse-off cleanser
  • Use this formula as a wash and rinse it away after cleansing.
  • Dryness or peeling means you should follow your pack’s advice on reducing application frequency.
  • Using another topical acne medicine at the same time can increase dryness and irritation. If irritation occurs, use only one topical acne medicine at a time.

Acne Banishing Body Spray.

2% salicylic acid · pressurised body spray

Flammable. Keep the can away from flames and sources of fire.

  • Use on the body. Do not spray it on your face or into the eyes.
  • The container is pressurised: never pierce it or burn it.
  • Store at 20–25 °C. Do not store above 120 °F (about 49 °C).
  • Follow the can’s advice for skin dryness, peeling and application frequency. Other topical acne medicines can increase irritation.

Antimicrobial Purifying Mist.

Hypochlorous acid · facial mist
  • For use on skin only; it must not be injected.
  • Do not spray directly into the eyes. Follow the eye-area precautions in the full product guide.
  • For this mist, get professional advice if the skin problem lasts or gets worse for more than seven days.
  • Protect the bottle from direct sunlight and freezing, and do not use it after expiry.

PM Overnight Spot Patches.

Hydrocolloid dressing · individual spot cover
  • Keep patches away from the eye area.
  • If a patch irritates your skin, remove it, discontinue use and ask a doctor.
  • If you have a history of sensitivity to adhesives, get advice before choosing a patch.

This is a key-precautions summary. Read your pack’s complete warnings, ingredients and any enclosed leaflet. Formulas and labels can change; individual product guidance remains essential.

Checked 26 October 2026 against official US labels, PanOxyl information, UK retinoid safety guidance and matching retailer label transcriptions for the mist and patches.

PanOxyl UK FAQ

Clear Answers.For UK Buyers.

Straightforward answers about the PanOxyl range, formula differences, product use and suitability.

Can you buy PanOxyl in the UK?

Yes, you can buy PanOxyl in the UK through specialist importers like Kingdom States. This collection covers US-market PanOxyl products. Check the individual product listings for current prices, pack sizes and availability.

Does every PanOxyl product contain benzoyl peroxide?

No. PanOxyl Acne Creamy Wash contains 4% benzoyl peroxide; Acne Foaming Wash and Acne Treatment Bar contain 10%. Acne Gel Wash and Acne Banishing Body Spray contain 2% salicylic acid. Adapalene Gel uses 0.1% adapalene, Antimicrobial Purifying Mist uses hypochlorous acid, and PM Overnight Spot Patches use hydrocolloid dressing.

What is the difference between PanOxyl 4% and 10% washes?

PanOxyl Acne Creamy Wash contains 4% benzoyl peroxide and has a creamy texture. PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash contains 10% benzoyl peroxide and has a foaming texture. Both are rinse-off acne cleansers for the face, chest and back. A higher concentration does not automatically make a wash the right choice for your skin.

Are PanOxyl Acne Gel Wash and Body Spray used the same way?

No. PanOxyl Acne Gel Wash is a rinse-off facial cleanser containing 2% salicylic acid. PanOxyl Acne Banishing Body Spray is a leave-on body acne treatment containing 2% salicylic acid. The Body Spray must not be sprayed on the face or into the eyes. Follow the directions for the exact formula.

Is PanOxyl Purifying Mist a standalone acne treatment?

No. PanOxyl Antimicrobial Purifying Mist contains hypochlorous acid for purifying and soothing blemish-prone skin. PanOxyl describes hypochlorous acid as a supporting skincare step that can complement a broader acne routine, rather than replace targeted acne treatments.

Can you use the whole PanOxyl range together?

There is no single routine for using the whole PanOxyl range together. Combining topical acne medicines can increase dryness and irritation. Check each product’s directions and ask a pharmacist, doctor or prescriber before adding a treatment, particularly if you already use prescription acne medicine.

Is PanOxyl suitable for sensitive skin?

Suitability depends on the exact PanOxyl formula. The US labels for the 4% Creamy Wash, 10% Foaming Wash and 10% Treatment Bar say not to use them on very sensitive skin or if you are sensitive to benzoyl peroxide. Check the full ingredients and warnings for your chosen product.

Can children use PanOxyl products?

Age advice varies by PanOxyl product. The US PanOxyl Adapalene Gel 0.1% label provides directions for adults and children aged 12 and over; for children under 12, it says to ask a doctor. Check every other product’s age instructions separately rather than applying one age rule to the whole range.

Can PanOxyl be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

PanOxyl Adapalene Gel must not be used during pregnancy or while planning a pregnancy. If you become pregnant while using it, stop and contact your doctor. If breastfeeding, ask a doctor before Adapalene use. Get professional advice before using other acne medicines during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

What can PanOxyl PM Overnight Spot Patches do?

PanOxyl PM Overnight Spot Patches use hydrocolloid dressing to absorb fluid and cover individual blemishes, helping discourage picking. Apply them to clean, dry skin and wear overnight according to the pack. Overnight wear is not a guarantee that every spot will disappear by morning.

How quickly does PanOxyl work?

Visible improvement with acne treatments can take several weeks or longer, and response depends on the PanOxyl product and the person. A laboratory bacteria-reduction time does not measure how quickly visible blemishes will clear. Follow your chosen product’s directions and advice on when to seek professional help.

Can PanOxyl bleach hair or towels?

PanOxyl products containing benzoyl peroxide can bleach hair and dyed fabrics. This warning applies to the 4% Creamy Wash, 10% Foaming Wash and 10% Treatment Bar. Rinse thoroughly, avoid contact with hair and dyed fabrics, and follow the warnings on the pack.

Answers checked 26 October 2026 against PanOxyl information, official US labels and UK retinoid guidance. Read the full directions and warnings supplied with your exact pack.
