I can't find panoxyl, now using benzac 2.5% every night before I sleep.
This is what I do:
morning wake up = Wash, moisturize only
evening (shower) = wash, moisturize
night before sleep = wash, moisturize + benzac 2.5%
The acnes dry up but new ones still keep popping up. Sometimes I sleep quite late (1-2am), is it the reason?
I only apply benzac on affected areas.
BP should be applied on acne prone area, regardless the acne has healed or diminished as we want to prevent it from coming back.
If I were you, I will apply BP on the morning session as well, followed by moisturiser.

Hi Jinyee
I intend to use your regime. I have normal to oily skin with acne.
But am thinking of using with Origins zero oil Deep pore cleanser at night. Meaning the Cetaphil cleanser morning and origins cleanser at night.
Plus origins out of trouble twice a week.

Having read thru 30 pages of ur thread, I think you might say put these aside and stick to the Cetaphil n bp regime, right?
Btw, I use Avene thermal spring water often. Is it okay to go with the regime as moisturizer instead?
You see, the skin sometimes get upset with too much skincare products. Imagine those days where there weren't vitamin enriched skin products, the glycerin based cleanser served all the purpose.
The skin has its ability to rejuvenate by itself, well, as you have answered your question, why not lets the skin heal by its own. However, sighting the current environment where pollution is increasing, the diet, lifestyle and etc, the skin might somehow tend to lose its ability to regenerate.
By using Cetaphil and OTC BP shall provide a good platform for the skin to rejuvenate by itself and the outcome has been proven. I cannot guarantee the success as the result may differs from individual to another but the success rate was high thus far.
This is merely a sharing thread where there is no monetary involvement. I do not help Cetaphil to advertise nor I am the marketing staff for Panoxyl and Benzac.
Well, at the end of the day, everyone deserve a nice appearance.
I am just giving you a tinker...
