Didn't work well

Unfortunately, this body spray didn't work well for me as I didn't see any improvement after many weeks of using it. I spray it on my back and arms and also apply it to my face by spraying it onto my hands and gently patting it, however, it only resulted in more breakouts which I'm still dealing with. I'm not sure what's wrong with the formula, as I've used other PanOxyl products in the past and they were great in managing my acne.

Canister won’t spray

I love the PanOxyl brand & was really looking forward to trying their new Acne Banishing Body Spray. Unfortunately I was provided a faulty product. The canister sprayed for a couple seconds & then never again. No matter what position the cap is in no product comes out. I’m hoping this is a one off issue & that I’ll have another opportunity to truly test the salicylic acid acne treatment spray as I’ve had success with other PanOxyl products in the past.

Don’t see any difference

It’s been more than 6 days and so far I don’t see any difference in this product. Not sure if it’s worth the money. I’d say a pimple patch would be a rather practical option. I don’t like the hair spray kind of smell either.

topical cream is more effective

PanOxyl Acne Body Spray Review

The PanOxyl Acne Body Spray is convenient for hard-to-reach areas like the back and shoulders. It dries quickly and contains salicylic acid to help reduce breakouts.

That said, topical creams may be more effective for targeted treatment since they stay on the skin longer and can be massaged in for deeper absorption. The spray is a good option for quick application, but not always as strong as a leave-on cream.

Doesn’t work as hoped

I unfortunately do not like this product, when I spray it on myself. My skin feels like it is on fire. I actually had to wash it off. I wish I liked this as much as I like a lot of the other products.

Unfortunately did not work for me

I received a bottle of the PanOxyl Acne Spray for free in exchange for my honest review. Since this brand is usually fantastic for skin issues, I had high hopes. With powerhouse ingredients like salicylic acid, niacinamide, aloe, witch hazel, and vitamin C, I expected great results.

The spray itself is very fine, which I appreciate, and the mist distributes evenly. However, the scent is overwhelmingly strong, with a harsh alcohol smell, and it stings upon application—even on skin that isn’t broken or irritated. After two weeks of consistent use, I haven’t noticed any improvement in breakouts or dark spots, making this more frustrating than effective.

I also question the sustainability of this product due to its pressurized can—how can it be recycled? A serum in a glass bottle with a less overpowering scent, better packaging, and reduced waste might have been a more thoughtful alternative

not efficient

I love the idea of this spray, but the main fact that it is not convenient for spots like bacne... I used it consistently for 2 weeks and have seen no improvement at all. I do follow up with SPF during the day is my back is exposed. I am overall disappointed, but at least it does not smell like anything. The spray width is really nice too. My only issue is the effectiveness: which is what matters to me. Product gifted by Crown Labs (Canada).

Not great

This Panoxyl Acne Banishing Spray is not a winner for me. I get a few pimples on my chest and back sometimes and thought this might be good to treat them with. However, I am not a fan of the aerosol can, it made for a very strong smell from the salicylic acid when sprayed and hard to target the desired area. It also left a film on my skin for what seems like hours. I thought it was going to be more absorbent. If targeting your back, I would recommend some assistance with spraying on desired area. I love that it is paraben and fragrance free. It did dry up some of my pimples but did not treat them how I wanted.
