Dermatologist Shereene Idriss explains Panoxyl, a benzoyl peroxide wash for severe inflammatory acne. Let it sit on your skin instead of rinsing it off right away. It works best for oily, breakout-prone skin.
Here's why she's doing it both right and wrong. Who am I? I am a 39 year old board certified dermatologist. I'm going to tell you about Panoxyl. It is a benzoyl peroxide wash. What does that mean? It has antibacterial properties that can kill the unwanted bacteria on your skin that can contribute to your acne. It's great for people with really bad inflammatory acne or who tend to be really oily and who are prone to more breakouts than average. Here's why she's doing it right. Let's give her credit where credit is due. People are finally understanding that you need to let a face wash with active ingredients sit on your face in order to have activity and make a difference for your skin. Because when you just wash your face with it and then really apply water, two seconds later you're pissing your money down the drain. Quite literally.
