Long time never check this thread. How's everyone?
I'd used this regime few years back when I found out about this thread. The combo of Neutrogena cleanser, Neutrogena moisturizer and Panoxyl 2.5 worked well for my acne skin, despite the burning and peeling in the beginning which is pretty common. After sometime, my skin got used to the 2.5 BP concentration and it didn't do much for my skin anymore. And I stopped following the regime since my acne had stopped.
Last year, I started to have breakouts again due to some unknown reasons (which later on found out to be the foundation that I used). It was so bad and those cystic acnes kept popping out like crazy. I applied Panoxyl 2.5 again to treat my acne but my skin reacted badly on it. It didn't treat my acne and my skin was burning. After trying a little longer, it was still the same. At the same time, I did try on various facial methods and other products hoping to treat my acne because my wedding was approaching. But all to no avail. Then I changed my acne treatment to Mario Badescu which was recommended by a SA at Sephora. He saw how bad was my skin and suggested the acne repair kit. It consists of drying lotion, buffering lotion and drying cream. I was sceptical in the beginning because I thought he was just trying to sell the products

Thanks to my husband who insisted of buying it for me to try out. I used the products religiously and within weeks, my skin was completely cleared. It's been a year and to date, I had finished my drying lotion and left with a bit more of drying cream and buffering lotion. I still use both of the remaining products to treat any acne that pop up once in a while. Example last 2 days ago, there were 2 huge bumps on each side of my cheeks and want to turn into one of those cystic acne. I applied more of the drying cream and buffering lotion on top. This morning I checked, they were gone.
Apologize for the long story. But if Panoxyl doesn't work for you, you may want to check out Mario Badescu products. They are costly, which is why I was contemplating of buying it in the first place, but they are really good

Hope this help!
