(8 reviews)Editorial Review: Glycolic Acid is a superficial peeling agent that is made from sugar cane. It is often considered the most active and beneficial of the Alpha-Hydroxy-Acids (AHA). With repetitive and continuous use, improvement to skin tone and texture occurs. Once inside the skin's cell, glycolic acid will serve as a catalyst for the formation of new collagen which will reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the skin's surface. Glycolic acid has been proven to be very effective in the treatment of hyperpigmentation, melasma, actinic keratosis, acne, and oily skin, as well as other cosmetic uses. Our kit provides you the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of professional results at home, for a fraction of the cost. What You Can Expect Several layers of surface skin will be exfoliated very quickly... within 10-12 minutes. There is no noticeable peeling, just a sloughing action that will leave your skin feeling smooth and looking refreshed. The dry, dead, glued-together surface sebum that makes skin look dull and clogs pores, will be dissolved and removed. With continued use as directed the skin will look more youthful and vibrant.

Pernox Works!, 2008-10-15On recommendation from my dermatologist, I have been using Pernox regularly since I was a teenager, as has my 30-something son. Pernox really works for people like us who have oily skin prone to breakouts by cleaning the pores and leaving our skin smooth and clean. I had my first facial a couple of years ago, and the technician was amazed at how clear my skin was.
Because Pernox is becoming harder to find in the stores, I've tried other particle-based scrubs, but none has worked anywhere near as effectively.

For All Ages, 2008-09-06I was first introduced to Pernox when my younger sister had bad outbreaks as a teen. I tried it and loved it! I have been using it off and on ever since and I am now 58 and still using it. It is the BEST! It helps heal outbreaks faster than anything you've ever tried. I don't have oily skin but it works for all types of skin. Right now I have a skin allergy problem where patches on my face just keep peeling off and being red and inflamed. I was afraid to use Pernox and tried many other prescription creams, salves and otc products to no avail; usually it got worse. Recently I pulled out the ol' Pernox and scrubbed lightly a little every day and it is beginning to heal up with several places not peeling now. The rest of the spots are no longer inflamed. Hooray for Pernox once again! Try it. You'll love it. It is expensive but a little goes a long way and you don't necessarily need to use it every day. A bottle usually lasts me about 4-6 months. I even add a little water to the last bit in the bottle to get just a little more out of it!

The Ultimate, 2008-04-30Well, if you have problems with acne and/or oily skin this is the best product I have ever found. Skin is soft and smooth and oil is under control. I couldn't be more pleased with the performance. The smell takes a little getting used to, but it NOT unpleasant.

excellent exfoliating cleanser, 2008-02-08This is one of the only products that cleared up my acne. I use it every night. It doesn't smell great, but works very well. I recommend it for anyone with a lot of congestions and some pimples. For skin with a lot of pustules I would only recommend this once or twice a week with light pressure so as not to break open the pustules and spread bacteria. After the skin has cleared somewhat, then use more frequently.
