PanOxyl Acne Gel Wash 2% Salicylic Acid 6.5oz — Gel-to-Foam Cleanser, Hydrating & Mattifying

PanOxyl Acne Gel Wash is a 2% salicylic acid gel-to-foam cleanser formulated to help clear and prevent acne while moisturizing and mattifying skin.

This gentle gel wash combines a clinically recognized 2% salicylic acid active with soothing botanicals and oil-controlling ingredients to cleanse pores, reduce excess shine and support the skin’s moisture barrier. The fragrance-free formula includes Blue Algae and Aloe Vera for hydration, Zinc PCA to help mattify and target oil, and antioxidants such as Green Tea Extract to help refresh the look of skin. Designed for daily use on acne-prone complexions, the product balances exfoliation and nourishment without prescription-strength hassles.

How does this cleanser address breakouts?

Salicylic acid at 2% works to exfoliate inside pores, helping to loosen trapped oil, dirt and dead skin that contribute to blackheads and pimples. The gel-to-foam texture removes surface impurities while the active penetrates to support clearer-looking skin over time.

• Contains 2% salicylic acid for pore exfoliation and debris removal
• Gel-to-foam format for effective cleansing without harsh scrubbing
• Fragrance-free to reduce irritation risk for sensitive, acne-prone skin

Will it dry out my skin or help keep it hydrated?

PanOxyl balances exfoliation with humectants and soothing botanicals so skin is cleansed without excessive dryness. Ingredients like Betaine, Aloe Vera and Blue Algae help replenish moisture and support the skin’s natural barrier after treatment.

• Betaine helps restore the skin’s moisture balance
• Aloe Vera and Blue Algae soothe and hydrate during cleansing
• Allantoin reduces the appearance of redness while providing hydration

How does it control shine and oil throughout the day?

Zinc PCA is included to target excess sebum and provide a mattifying effect on the skin’s surface. By addressing oiliness at the source while exfoliating pores, the wash helps reduce the appearance of shine without over-stripping.

• Zinc PCA helps manage oil production and mattify skin
• Combined action of salicylic acid and zinc tackles both pores and surface shine
• Suitable for routine use to maintain a less oily complexion

What kind of results and routine can I expect?

Used as part of a daily skincare regimen, you can expect gradual improvements in pore clarity, fewer new surface breakouts, and a more balanced skin texture. Results vary by individual, but consistent cleansing and complementary treatments support clearer-looking skin over weeks.

• Use once or twice daily as tolerated, massaging onto wet skin and rinsing thoroughly
• Follow with non-comedogenic moisturizer and targeted treatments if needed
• Avoid mixing with other strong exfoliants without guidance to reduce irritation risk

Who is this for: PanOxyl Acne Gel Wash is aimed at people with acne-prone or oily skin who want an over-the-counter, dermatologist-trusted cleanser that both exfoliates pores and supports hydration. It suits those looking for a fragrance-free formulation that combines proven active ingredients with skin-nourishing botanicals. If you have very dry, compromised skin or are using prescription acne medications, consult a dermatologist before adding strong exfoliants into your routine.
