My skin doesn’t respond to Benzoyl Peroxide at all and Salicylic Acid alone won’t do the trick.

My whole goal is to never get a pimple. Because if I do, my fair skin will scar and remain red for ever.

What makes Pernox work for me is the sand-like exfoliating texture. It has a dense and uniform consistency. It doesn’t just go away after you rub it into your skin for a while. It stays there until you rinse it off.

It is not a spa-like apricot scrub for relaxing on Sunday. It is serious business but not too harsh.

It has sulphur and Salicylic acid as it’s active ingredients which, for me, work great. The sulphur isn’t the best smelling stuff in the world and the lemon doesn’t really mask it in any way but like I said, Pernox is no joke.

Sulphur kills bacteria and the acid exfoliates chemically, healing pimples and evening out redness.

A few of my friends use the stuff too. We’re over 30 and can buy whatever pricey MD skin doctor product is on the market.

And we do, of course.

But Pernox works. That’s what makes Pernox a bargain.

Dries it up.

Sloughs it off.

Digs it out.

And clears it up.

Works on back and chest too.

Love it.

The consistancy is key. It’s a very fine sandy substance. The tube works best because it’s thicker than the lotion. It really gets into your pores and cleanses them completely each time you use it. You will feel the results immediately. The ingredients are another key, the combination really makes this product work. I cannot tolerate sacycillic acid products alone but I can tolerate this one.

Note: If your skin is on the verge of a breakout, if you have blackheads & whiteheads just below the surface of your skin – this product can sometimes force the breakout to happen quicker. Don’t freak-out it’s only doing what it’s supposed to do and that is get those impurities out of your skin! stick with it and you will see that after awhile there will not be anymore breakouts. And you will be in control not the acne.

Should be used on oily skin only. Not for people who have overly sensitive skin issues. It’s a very strong product so I recommend this to people who have normal or hearty skin.

Also, if you are trying to get rid of skin tags or those ketoid bumps that can form around underarms, under breasts, etc, this product can be used with a copper peptide rebuilding system. In fact the dr. who discovered copper peptides recommends you combine a product like this with his. I did and it works great – helped me get rid of some skin tags on my neck area.

You only need to use a little bit. I use it twice a day and the tube lasts me about 3 months. This product is really cheap when you realize how well it works (like a crystal microderm abrasion) and how long it lasts it’s cost is actually less than those $5-10 facial scrubs that are finnished within a month!

I can’t say that this did anything at all for my acne – but it is a pretty ‘harsh’ scrub and it is great for exfoliation. My skin feels smooth and clean when I use it.

While I wish I had some miracle results on the acne side – I would use it again for the ‘scrub factor’. Do wish it was a little less expensive.
