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 .

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.

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.

An excellent product that I have used for years. I was glad to find it on line.

I started using this product more than 30 years ago for an acne problem. I have continued to use it on a daily basis because I tend to have oily skin. This product is nothing short of amazing. I give it credit for the complements I have received over the years for having great skin, even though I am a 52-year-old man! The company that makes this product should rebrand it as a microdermabrasion beauty product and make a fortune! I will dare say that it is better than anything over the counter that claims to help resurface the skin. Like others who have written reviews, I used to be able to purchase Pernox at the local drug store until they stopped stocking it. Thank God for the internet. I will never be without this product. Try it once - you'll be hooked!

I have been using this for 10 years, it works better than any other product on the market. I hope they never quit making it!

The supplier never delivered the product. Their customer service is awful. I contacted Amazon and they arranged for a refund. I would never do business with them again!

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.

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.

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.
