"If you want a maximum strength benzoyl peroxide cleanser, buy Panoxyl 10 wash. [...] Benzoyl peroxide comes in different strengths over the counter, typically [...] at around 2 or 2.5 percent, maybe 4 percent, 5 percent, and then 10 percent. The 10 percent products are maximum strength and that is the highest that you can get over the counter. [...] You can always start with a low percentage and build up to 10 percent as tolerated."

"If you have active acne and you're extremely oily, maybe a couple times a week when you wash your face at night you want to use benzoyl peroxide. This is PanOxyl at 10%. The percentage of the benzoyl peroxide doesn't really actually matter anywhere from 5 to 10%, you're going to get more or less the same effects. But when you put this on your face, let it sit on your face before washing it off. Note to the wise, it will bleach your towels, hence why I only have white towels."

"I have a list because of my retainer more is not better it's as effective as five percent as it is at 10 so don't be fooled thinking you're getting more bang out of your buck with a higher percentage one of the ones I love to recommend is PanOxyl and with that said this is the highest that you'll probably find over the counter at 10 not that it matters the way I recommend using this is applying it to a clean face letting it sit for five minutes and then jumping into the shower preferably while you're naked so that you do not bleach your clothes and this way it minimizes any impact that it may have on your towels."

"PanOxyl comes at 10% benzoyl peroxide. Interesting fact, you don't need to have it at 10% for it to be effective, it's even effective at 3 to 5%, but just FYI it may bleach your towels. So the way I recommend using this is applying it to your body or your face while you're naked, brushing your teeth, letting it sit for 5-10 minutes standing, and then jumping into the shower and washing it off. Try not to sit on any sort of furniture or towel because it will bleach it, and it may dry you out."

"It's just the one that's been around the longest that I've been using and recommending for the longest. PanOxyl 10% wash is a great body wash for people who have body acne, chest, back, shoulders. Works really well for clearing up and preventing acne breakouts on the body. Can also be used on the face, although it is a bit more drying in comparison to their 4% strength. The other way I always encourage to use this is for cutting down on body odor."

"There was benzoyl peroxide at 10 strength, good old [...] Panoxyl. [...] The formulations back then were so far removed from how benzoyl peroxide is formulated nowadays, so irritating that it caused a barrier issue, and the potholes on my skin were created by using actives that were too strong for my skin, with no retinoid in the picture at all."

"The Panoxyl 10 wash is really really really potent. This is not for everyone, this is going to be drying. [...] I would recommend this for like the body or something, whereas the cushion cleanser is what can actually be used both morning and evening in a double cleansing routine."
