RE: Panoxyl...unfortunately, it is one of my things from Britain, where it is available over the counter. I've yet to find an OTC equivalent in the US, however I admit that I've not been looking very hard as I've got 8 tubes stashed in my bathroom. HOWEVER! the brand isn't particularly important. If you find a cream that's 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide (or however you spell it), it will do the same. Neutrogena makes a small tube cream that's 2.5 percent. It's supposed to be for "spot treating" but I use it all over.

Going to www.acne.org and following their washing/treating regimen is what tipped me off to the cetaphil/panoxyl/moisturizer method.

cooool. thanks phoenix.

I've been using Boots eyeliner and I love it - the brush makes it very easy to get the liner right along the top of my lashes.

I'm currently using DHC Olive oil soap, Bigelow Dry skin toner, CVS Olay-knock-off night cream, L'Oreal daily moisturizer, and the Neutrogena Exfoiliating thingee - not sure of the name. It has a handle and you put disposable blue discs on it.

Do you like that thing? I've been curious about it for a while but haven't gotten around to trying it yet.

YES - it makes a noticeable difference - my skin feels soooo smooth!
