A lightweight, leave-on exfoliant with 2% salicylic acid that penetrates pores to clear acne, remove dead skin cells, and leave skin clearer, smoother, and brighter.

Key Benefits & Claims

• Helps clear and prevent acne

• Penetrates pores to reduce blackheads, whiteheads, and clogged pores

• Dissolves dead skin buildup and oil, promoting smoother texture

• Lightweight, easily absorbed formula

• Gentle, pH-balanced, and alcohol-free

• Includes blue algae & antioxidants to help calm skin irritation and redness

• Suitable for all skin types, especially acne-prone, oily, or combination skin

Usage Instructions

1. Shake the bottle well before use.

2. Cleanse skin thoroughly and pat dry.

3. Using a cotton pad (or clean fingers), apply a thin, even layer over the entire affected area (avoid eyes, lips, and broken skin).

4. Start with one application daily. If well tolerated, you may increase to 2 or 3 times daily, as needed, under dermatologist guidance.

5. If dryness, peeling, or irritation occurs, reduce frequency to once daily or alternate days.

6. Use of sunscreen during the day is strongly recommended, as exfoliation can increase photosensitivity. (Even if salicylic acid is less sensitizing than some other acids, day-time UV protection is standard best practice.)

Holistic Pharmacist Advice

PanOxyl Clarifying Exfoliant is a powerful yet gentle option for managing acne and congested skin, but healthy skin starts from within. Support your skin by:

• Balancing your microbiome: Eat a diet rich in colourful vegetables, fibre, and omega-3s to reduce inflammation and support healthy skin flora.

• Stabilising blood sugar: High-GI foods and stress spikes can increase oil production and acne flare-ups. Choose whole foods and steady meals.

• Managing stress: Cortisol fluctuations often worsen breakouts—consider mindfulness, breathing exercises, or gentle exercise to calm your system.

• Supporting detox pathways: Stay well-hydrated and ensure good liver and gut function (probiotics, leafy greens, zinc, and B vitamins can help).

• Protecting your skin barrier: Use a gentle cleanser, a light non-comedogenic moisturizer, and sunscreen daily—over-stripping the skin can cause rebound oiliness.

Use PanOxyl Clarifying Exfoliant once daily at night to start, apply a calming moisturizer after, and give your skin time to adjust—consistency and patience are key.
