PanOxyl 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Foaming Wash

Updated Nov 8, 2026 · Top Face cleansers

Best for Acne that needs benzoyl peroxide. It is a treatment wash, not a daily gentle cleanser.

A 10 percent benzoyl peroxide wash for acne, in a 5.5 oz tube. Benzoyl peroxide kills acne bacteria. It also bleaches towels and it dries the skin out. This is not the CeraVe or Vanicream bottle you use every time you wash. Use it on breakouts, leave it on for a minute or two, and rinse. Follow with a plain moisturizer. Do not use it with a retinoid the same night if your face is already peeling. This tube sells a lot because it treats acne, which is a different job from a gentle cleanser.
