 Best acne product on the market |

| This was recommended to me by a dermatologist about 25 years ago and I haven't stopped using it since. My local drugstore has stopped carrying it. Thank goodness I found it on Amazon....just like everything else I buy! I use this once a day at night and Ivory soap in the morning followed by Burt's Bees blemish stick. |

| A great product for those with oily skin. Leaves skin very clean, with a slight lemon scent. May be too harsh for those with sensitive skin. |
Best skincare scrub bar none

I have had problems with my skin most of my life . I finally managed to clear it up a few years ago and then perimenopause hit.Nothing I tried worked untill Ifound this product in a Walgreens store ( I have to order it on-line now ).You talk about instant gratification. I was amazed at how polished and smooth my skin looked . My makeup went on better and my moisturizer worked better and within a week ,my face showed a mark improvement in appearance ,texture and tone. My acne had reduced and spot treatments helped get rid of what was left of my acne. If you have mild/ severe acne ,I would highly recommend this product. If you have sensitive skin ,this product may not be good for you because it is harsh. I use this product twice daily but when I started using it ,I used it once daily. Its not like ordinary scrubs . This scrub can dry your skin out if you use it improperly . In other words , no more than twice daily.
Have you tried every acne clearing product out there? If so and if nothing has worked ,Try this.I am certain it will work.It is pricey but the payoffs and if use correctly far out way the cost. A bottle should last about 6 weeks ,if used correctly . |

| this stuff works better than any acne med i've ever seen. easy to use, too. a little stinky, but it fades fast. dry skin will need moisturizer, like most acne meds, otherwise......it's perfecto! |
Love this product.

| I've used this product for over 25 years, and it's getting really hard to find. Great for oily skin that's not overly sensitive. |
Great product

| I used Proactiv for a long time but my dermatologist recommended Pernox. I think it is the best facial scrub money can buy at a fraction of what a dermatological abrasion would cost. I love the results and I am already at my second bottle. I don't use it every morning and from what I understand from my dermatologist it can be used once in a while if you use Proactiv. |
Best face wash I've ever used

| This is the only acne medication that has ever worked for me. I used to get really painful acne until I tried this and it has gone completely away. It's expensive but you only need to use a little bit each time. |
Best acne scrub!!

My teenage son starting breaking out, I started using all types of acne products- nothing seemed to work. I asked my neighbor what acne product her teenage son was on (I noticed his skin looked great after a battle with acne). She metioned this product. I bought it and my teenager started using it, I saw immediate results.
Over the summer my son got lazy stopped using the product, went back to regular cleansers and acne reappeared... within a week after he re-started with his daily use of Pernox his acne has cleared up and his skin looks wonderful!
I can no longer find it at Walgreens, glad I found it on line. He does not want to be without, this is the best product I have found for him. |
The Very Best Facial Scrub Ever!!

| My wife has been using Pernox forever (30-35 years). Throughout that time as new products came about and the price of Pernox rose, she never wavered. Nothing could or can beat Pernox. We could see the end coming for a long time because it became harder and harder to find in the stores. Finally it was no longer there. My wife started trying other products but nothing worked. I could tell because it really showed in her skin. She developed blemishes and age spots and sores and nothing helped. I thought that Pernox was gone, but I decided to try Amazon.com and low and behold, there it was and at a more than reasonable prise. My wife is happy (her face shines again) and I'm happy. Great Great Product!!! |

| I have been using Pernox on and off for 25yrs but stopped using it for the past year to try gentler products for maturing skin (over 40yr old female). I am now breaking out more than ever! I am so glad I read the reviews for Pernox on Amazon because it reminded me of my old favorite product. So far, it's only been a day, but I can feel it really cleaning my face, and drying up the breakouts! The sulfar is great for healing, the salicylic acid and scrub will hopefully peel away my scars! I use cetaphil cream after I wash in the evening. I am so relieved to have Pernox back in my medicine cabinet and will never be without it again! |
Fighting Facial Acne & Pimples

| Review Date: October 16, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Land Lubber, |
I've been using Pernox Facial Scrub since 1981 after a dermatologist suggested it to my wife for her facial acne. Having suffered from skin acne for years by that time, I tried it & discovered for the first time that there was actually an over the counter, non prescription product that could help me.
I haven't used plain soap on my face in all those years because plain soap contributed to my acne problem by leaving a residue which clogged my skin pores. Each morning I use a small amount the size of a nickle & scrub my face with it. Thats all.
The only down down size is that it isn't cheap. One 5.4 ounce bottle lasts me about a month, but it costs roughly $25 no matter where you buy it. I used to buy it at the local drug store but now I just buy it online & have it shipped. Sometimes its cheaper that way since I buy three packs. Despite the cost, you can figure its value easily: Is about $300 a year in purchases of Pernox worth it to avoid acne scarring on your face?????? You know it is.
Highly recommended for those of you who have acne on the face (I've even used it on my chest during acne outbreaks & it works). |
Best Product For My Skin & For Acne!!

| Reviewer: Robert Claude Mays, IV, OCALA, FLORIDA, US |
I was on everythig from steriods to Accutane which were all given by my dermotologist. I tried EVERYTHIG. Then, I'd found an old tube of this stuff which was a sample from my mother's dermotologist from many years ago. I tried it, it worked! I've been using it for 15 years now, RELIGIOUSLY. Whether you have dry, acne/oily or normal skin and want to exfoliate, this by far is the best product on the market.
I even used it on my fiance's hands. He has exzema and contact-dermatitis. Nothing worked because he could not get through the rough, thick skin on his hands. I used a little Pernox on the ares and it exfoliated it just perfectly, so then he could use his medication, so he finally cleared-up after three years of misery!
Yes, this product does it's job: If you are OILY, you will now be normal to even dry. It works well on dry skin too, s you can FINALY exfoliate just as well as a treatment at the dermotologist or cosmetic spa.
It is very strong, you only need a tad. I use a dime-sized amount, twice a day which is the recommended use. This product helps other skin care products work properly, as if your skin is exfoliated, then the products you use will be able to get right to the skin. It's great for just before a facial or mask, woderful right before make-up; helps it go on smoothly.
It clears acne better than any other product I have ever tried in the last 15 years to the present! I cannot and would not live without my Pernox! I hope they never stop making it. A great bonus is the way it contains the acids from the natural lemon which work far more safely and even better than another of it's ingrediants which is salicylic acid.

Strong smell with amazing results
|
| Review Date: December 18, 2009 |
| Reviewer: LeaK, Colorado |
I am 40 and have been using this very same Pernox Scrub for more than 25 years, ever since I was in middle school and began to suffer from severe acne. The label has not even changed over all those years. In my opinion, this scrub is just incredible and that is why I have stayed with it for so many years even though I no longer have acne. The Scrub has small semi-course beads in a foaming yellow lotion that together act like an expensive micro-derma abrasion treatment, making my skin amazingly (and I mean AMAZINGLY) soft without drying it out. My skin looks radiant after I use it. People tell me all the time that I do not look my age. My husband, however, as well as my children, hate the smell of the product which lingers a short period of time on your face after use, so I now conceal the smell with a moisturizer that has a fragrance to it. The Pernox manufacturer claims the scrub has a lemon smell to it, but my family says it just "sinks". Personally, I like the smell, but maybe that is because I have been using it so long and associate the smell with incredible results. I can not state strongly enough that the benefits of this product far outweigh any adverse smell that others might perceive for a short period of time after application. Once you try it and see what it does to your skin, you can become addicted to it. My daughter even uses it now, despite her dislike of the smell.
I am disappointed that it is either no longer sold in stores in either the St. Louis or Denver/Boulder area, or that I am unable to find a store in those areas that sell it, so I continue to buy it here online.

Tried as a last resort for oily skni

| Review Date: January 15, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Justina M. Semuta, Maryland |
| I have struggled with oily skin since I was 13. Now that I have reached perimenopause age (46) the oiliness seemed to accelerate, proably due to hormones. For the last 1 1/2 years I have given up on wearing makeup due to the fact that foundation was not lasting, within 3-4 hours my forehead was like grease in a frying pan. Even makeup counter makeup with double oil control was not lasting. I decided to try this product as a last resort, having researched products online and research seems to indicate that a sulphur based product seem to be effective on oily skin. This product works better than anything else I have used. I can actually get through the day without looking like I can fry an eg on my face. I give it an excellent rating. |
