Best for BO
I have suffered from armpit BO all my life (Iâm 28 now). I came across this cleanser years ago on a YouTube video from a dermatologist I follow and she recommended this, but when youâve tried almost everything you donât have any hopes so I didnât try it. I had try vinegar, baking soda with lemon. Baking soda with lemon does work but application is messy. Vinegar also works but is not very long lasting. Tea tree oil its also good, but then again, not that practical. I have tried every deodorant, the more effective were clinical degree in conjunction with vinegar cause on its own it doesnât last. My armpits sweat too much and that in combination with bacteria creates BO. A couple of years I saw a video that recommended african black soap. I tried and it really worked, thatâs when I realized that baby soap that my dermatologist prescribed for my atopic dermatitis was not doing a very good cleaning bacteria on my armpits. I bought another african black soap, but the bars were just too big and it came a mess easily, and it was not as good as the previous brand I used before. It is also worth mentioned that my body gets used to every new deodorant real fast. I then tried perspirex, which I used the blue one which is the strongest (up to 5 days) but I can only go as far as 3 days and my armpits where smelling again. I came across a tik tok video which recommended Panoxyl again, I decided to give it a try and bought it on Amazon without any high hopes. I tried immediately and it was the miracle I was waiting for. I used the 10% concentration and my armpits do not smell AT ALL. I use it like this: everyday when I shower, I put the tiniest bit amount on every armpit (a little goes a long way and remember too much can dry your skin), it says to give it a massage but I usually just leave it for 1-2 min and then remove it. Then I put The Ordinaryâs Glycolic Acid (This is a habit I created before trying Panoxyl and because I burned my skin using Perspirex 6 hrs after shaving, Glycolic Acid did help with hyperpigmentation and bad odor, but as the other remedies, it is not as long lasting) and I still use the same perspirex blue one that I first bought since I havenât run out of it. I used perspirex after 5 days just because it says this is the longest you can go, but I didnât have any BO, and the next day I still donât smell anything. The only test that I havenât done yet is under workouts as currently I canât workout because Iâm fasting, but before when I ended my workout my BO was really bad because of the sweating, but even if I havenât tried it, I know it wonât disappoint as even when thereâs an issue it will be fixed when you shower or you can do it just before the workout. I thank Panoxyl for this since I have fought BO since I was in my teen years, this gave me so much insecurity, I tried everything and still I didnât smell good, which was really unfair and people always criticize. Thatâs why Iâm leaving this review, maybe it can help somebody else. My sister had the same issue, a little more mild than me and now she is just as in love and recommended it to everyone we know that suffers from this. She uses The Ordinaryâs Glycolic Acid and the Vichy red deodorant. On the face, I rarely have breakouts but this week I had two minor breakouts and this helped them cure really fast, asI guess it kills the bacteria. I only used it on the breakouts and not the rest of my face, as Iâm scared it might dry out my skin and I have oily skin and live on tropical humid weather. If you are dry skin or live on colder or dryer place it might be best to watch out as the product could be drying or make your skin sensitive.

Impressed with how quickly and well it worked — recommend ð
First let me start off by saying, I’ve actually used the product since October and wanted to provide others with the outcome I’ve had. If using a wash cloth, it will turn bright Orange and anything that touches it that’s cloth material will turn bright Orange. If you have your cloth and put another on top while both are wet, you’ll now have 2 with atleast spots of Orange. If you use a loofah this does not seem to change colors and holds up better than a wash cloth. I did notice you need to be generous with the amount used to get a good lather going, but in my opinion, it is totally worth it. I’ve battled chest acne for over 20 years with many things just irritating my skin more. I started to see results within the first 2 weeks. It does not leave my skin oily, red from irritation or anything. I’ve tried some soaps that made it worse due to my many allergies. I would definitely recommend trying this product. A bottle lasted me about 3 months and is way cheaper than many of the other products I’ve tried.

I will forever be loyal to this wash
My holy grail. My life saver. My one true love. I owe everything to this wash. It works quickly. It doesn’t irritate or dry my skin, but I only use this on my back, shoulders, and chest. A little bit foams up nicely and goes a long way. You’ll have to rip this from my cold dead hands.

Loved it but had to stop
Loved the product, saw progress in my acne quickly. It does burn even at the 4%. I had to stop using it because I woke up one morning and it looked like I had been crying, face puffy and a rash broke out around my eyes and on my forehead. I do believe Iâll come back and try it again at a later time.

Great to help with body odor
I have always struggled with body odor. No matter what I did, I couldn’t help it. I started using this daily to wash my arm pits, and no more BO! So effective for this. Nice lather and good size tube. Truly helps prevent BO and isn’t harsh and drying. Keeps me fresh all day.

Helps keep my skin clear
I’ve been using this face soap for years. When used correctly it helps keep your skin clear. I’m 43 years old and have been using this since I was in my 20s. It can also be used on your chest and back as well to help with all over break outs. Just make sure you follow the directions and let the soap sit on your skin for a couple of minutes to kill all of the bacteria on your skin. It can cause mild irritation so follow with a good moisturizer

â GREAT product BUT
This is a great product to have! It’s definitely worth having and cleared up my face fast. I specifically apply this oil found here (https://amzn.to/44lybu2) afterwards. I have dry sensitive skin, so I choose not to use too often to prevent any irritation. I highly suggest that you are MINDFUL of the products applied before and after using this. Read the label before using.

May dry your face
The product is great. I have been using panoxyl due to its effectiveness. Point to note, the item does dry your skin so a moisturizer must be used but it nonetheless is good and dries out those bumps that appear on the face so you could use it when they start appearing.
