The Main Ingredients
Benzoyl peroxide is one of the main active ingredients in PanOxyl’s Acne Banishing Spray. Benzoyl Peroxide is a well-studied anti-bacterial treatment for acne. It helps reduce acne-causing bacteria and can also help keep pores clear. Because it contains Benzoyl peroxide, this formula is specifically good to use for blemish control.

Spray vs. Topical
It has always been a challenge to treat hard-to-reach areas like the back. Over the last few years, there has been an increase in awareness of treating acne both on and off the face. A spray can be a very convenient option for someone dealing with breakouts on their back, shoulders, or chest. They can be especially helpful for individuals who are active and sweat frequently. There is not always someone at home to help apply a lotion or medication to the back, so sprays are a nice alternative.
Pros and Cons
- One clear benefit is how easy it is to use, especially in hard-to-reach areas.
- Ease of use often leads to better consistency as well, which is really important when treating acne.
- Sometimes, benzoyl peroxide can dry out the skin or even bleach clothing and towels.
Dr. Mona’s Tips
Dr. Mona recommends letting the product dry completely before getting dressed. Also, following up with a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer can help prevent dryness. She also recommends that patients use it at night. It also might be helpful to launder whites together to avoid the bleaching effect.
These sprays are more specifically designed for the body. Typically, it’s only suggested to use sprays on the chest, back, and shoulders. Dr. Mona would not recommend applying them to the face unless the label specifically says it’s safe to do so. It is also important to avoid the eye area and any broken or irritated skin. Sprays like this one typically have more alcohol content and can be a bit more drying than other topical lotions.
It is also best to keep a gentle and minimal skin care routine when using benzoyl peroxide. A mild cleanser followed by a non-comedogenic moisturizer and daily SPF is best! Avoiding strong actives like AHAs, BHAs, or retinoids unless your skin is already used to them or you are working with a dermatologist. Having too many active ingredients at once can lead to irritation or dryness.
So does it actually work?
Yes! This type of product can definitely help with body acne. Remember, consistency is key!
