Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Panoxyl Wash, containing benzoyl peroxide, is used to manage the inflammatory and non‑inflammatory lesions of acne vulgaris.
  • Acne vulgaris: decreases the number of inflammatory lesions and comedones.
  • Mild acne: helps clear blackheads and whiteheads.
  • Moderate acne: reduces papules and pustules.

How It Works

  • Benzoyl peroxide decomposes on the skin to release oxygen free radicals that exert antibacterial activity against Propionibacterium acnes while also exerting a keratolytic effect that helps unclog pores and reduces inflammation, thereby improving acne lesions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Panoxyl Wash is a topical wash that contains benzoyl peroxide and is used to treat acne vulgaris. It helps reduce both inflammatory lesions such as papules and pustules, and non‑inflammatory lesions like blackheads and whiteheads, improving overall skin appearance.

Benzoyl peroxide releases oxygen free radicals when applied to the skin. These radicals create an environment that is hostile to Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria involved in acne, while also promoting exfoliation of the follicular lining, which helps unclog pores and reduce inflammation.

The dosing regimen for Panoxyl Wash is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, the product is applied to wet skin, gently massaged, and then rinsed off after a short contact period, but exact frequency and duration should follow the prescriber’s instructions.

Safety data for benzoyl peroxide in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Healthcare providers usually weigh the potential benefits against any unknown risks before recommending use. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should discuss options with their clinician.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity.

Panoxyl Wash delivers benzoyl peroxide, a well‑established keratolytic and antibacterial agent, without the need for prescription. Compared with topical antibiotics or retinoids, it has a lower risk of bacterial resistance but may cause more surface irritation. It is often used alone or in combination with other agents for synergistic effect.

Store Panoxyl Wash at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use and protect it from extreme heat. No refrigeration is required.

Wet the skin with lukewarm water, apply a thin layer of the wash, gently massage for the time recommended on the label, and then rinse thoroughly. Avoid contact with eyes, and do not use on broken or severely irritated skin.

Serious but rare risks include allergic contact dermatitis, severe swelling, urticaria, photosensitivity reactions, and chemical burns from excessive use. Users should discontinue the product and seek medical advice if any of these reactions occur.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to benzoyl peroxide or any component of the formulation should avoid using Panoxyl Wash. It is also not recommended for people with severely compromised skin barrier, active eczema, or those who have experienced severe reactions to similar topical agents.
