Hi everyone,
I was on Tetralysl for a few months and my skin was fantastic! Not a single spot on my face or body!
Unfortunatley I am suffering from some other health problems and have had to stop taking them. I used Panoxyl 5% a while ago and it caused my skin to be in so much pain that I had to stop using it!
My brother has been using panoxyl 2.5%, and I have started to apply it directly to the acne and not to the surrunding skin, which seems to be working. I am also using Dermol, which the dr prescribed for me and this is helping to keep my skin moisturised and also contains antibacterial ingredients. I can use it as a cleanser substitute and a moisturiser.
I am looking for a good brand of jojoba oil to add to it...any recommendations?
Does this sound like a good regimen?:
Cleanse: Dermol
Dab on Panoxyl 2.5% only where needed
Moisturise with Dermol + Jojoba oil
Is there anything else I need?

Thank youfor taking the time to read this!

I think you have all the components in place. Might it be possible to very very gradually put the BP on more of your face until you are covering the outbreak prone areas, and then it would stop the outbreaks before they start? Most people seem to habituate to BP over time. The key is to start small and increase slowly.

I use Tisserand organic jojoba which I got from Amazon.co.uk and its really nice.

Antibiotics seem so useless to so many people, treats for "the now" and doesn't fix for "the later". Anyways, I would say that you have all that you need, there is many things that you can add but what you already have is fine, because too much products only makes the situation worse.
