Pernox Discontinued! Help!
bigpotato replied to xelizabethwoodsidex's topic in Over-the-counter acne medications and products
When Pernox was discontinued, I tried all kinds of exfoliating scrubs in the hopes of finding a replacement. Unfortunately, most of the ones I tried didn't work nearly as good.

Try Yu-Be Foaming Skin Polish. It's a exfoliant/cleanser just like Pernox, and seems to work near equally as well. You can find it on Amazon. I also recommend, after cleansing with Pernox, using Skin Culture's Glycolic Lotion followed by their Sage & Citrus Moisturizer. The moisturizer is hands down the best I've ever used.
