Acne series :- Panoxyl 5%

Right, firstly let me say that, in my teenage years I didn't get any breakouts at all ( maybe the odd pimple every year or so!) then a year or so after having my daughter( in my late 20's), my skin went nuts, I
 felt like my skin was paying me back for all the Sara lee chocolate gatues (remember those!) I refused to share ( and trust me, I ate that with a small tea spoon, ya nutta mean! ahhh good times good times!) I had awful breakouts on my forehead and my cheeks at one point, and I was in a state of panic, I mean having my daughter was a breeze compared to these breakouts I was experiencing. The way I saw it was " i should have been here and done this already, why am I getting breakouts at my age? ( not only was i dealing with the fact that I was a size 14 from being a size 8, that alone knocked my confidence) If you are reading this and are thinking " oh my life there are worse things in life then acne" yes, i agree with you, but if like me you went through your teenage years with nothing, it is kind of a huge big butt, of a deal. Hormones don't you just love them.....

So I heard about this product from a friend of mine,(who's skin is flawless now) who had awful breakouts, so i thought I'd give it a try..( well at the time my face wasn't giving me much choice! errhmmm) and I am glad I did.

What I do
After I have done my night time routine...(cleanse, tone, moisturise) I apply this on top...every single night, and it works a treat. I still get the odd breakout, but it's not so extreme, and its only certain times of the month..

This product contains Benzoyl peroxide..and comes in two strengths 5% 10%  if you use this product and are still getting breakouts, go to your doctor...

I bought this from my local boots store, and you need to ask for it behind the counter, as it is not out on the shelves... or direct from there website www.Boots.com
