It's thin, not "creamy" or heavy. But what's great is that it doesn't get greasy and just absorbs right in. You don't need a whole lot, just a small dab. If you've got super dry skin, it probably won't do it for you, but otherwise it's pretty great (and has an SPF built in).
RE: Panoxyl...unfortunately, it is one of my things from Britain, where it is available over the counter. I've yet to find an OTC equivalent in the US, however I admit that I've not been looking very hard as I've got 8 tubes stashed in my bathroom. HOWEVER! the brand isn't particularly important. If you find a cream that's 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide (or however you spell it), it will do the same. Neutrogena makes a small tube cream that's 2.5 percent. It's supposed to be for "spot treating" but I use it all over.
Going to
www.acne.org and following their washing/treating regimen is what tipped me off to the cetaphil/panoxyl/moisturizer method.
