Spot treatment update
Quick clarification: I say in the video that it’s OK to use the AHA+ as a nightly moisturizer every night. This is only true for people who have been on the Regimen for at least a month. I do not recommend AHA at the start of the Regimen while your skin is still adjusting to benzoyl peroxide.

Dan, you might want to look into allergy shots. I recommend it.

Sorry to hear about the allergies. I’m going through it too. I’ve tried everything like you Dan, and nothing works.
I thought about allergy shots, but I need to do more research on that and how much they cost and how often you need to have them done. Thanks for the heads up on the new and improved AHA, Dan! I can’t wait to try it out. It makes my skin so soft and clears up my marks so much quicker.

Yes, Dan and I both have allergies!!!! SCORE!

Whoa!! Look at all those acne.org products behind you.

I use a 1:1 mix of cetaphil cream and 10% AHA twice daily with once daily bp. That seems to work pretty well. It certainly keeps spots away, but I think my skin looks a little beat up at times (depends on the lighting). I suppose I’m just happy with clear skin for now though, so I’m sticking with what works.

for the allergies, you might want to try a neti pot or some other nasal irrigation system. they use salt water to clear out your sinuses. its supposed to be great for that, along with a variety of other sinus issues. i love mine!

Since this was a q&a “episode” I guess I will ask some q’s
Whats the status on the SA+. I ordered some, and I like it. But what the heck is up with the redness? I can’t use it during the day because of it.

Hey dan im very disappointed as you didnt read out my comment. can you explain what is AHA is it glycolic acid and what does glycolic acid do? Thanks

Hey Dan. Thanks for a good comprehensive site. A friend of mine is a world renowned allergy specialist. He was one of the people who helped develop the inhaler for asthmatics. His website is www.allergiesexplained.com. Anyway, one of the things that you might find interesting is a spray of an asthmatic inhaler such as bricanyl or ventalin to the eye can dramatically improve allergic reactions. Although a doctor won’t give you this advice, it is basically a form of steroid, and treats the localised problem. I’ve ordered some of your BP, I’ll give it a try.

Thought I would add that another option to allergy shots might be allergy drops. It may be worth looking into.

try bioallers. it is natural, safe and has worked for everyone in my family including my son who had very severe allergies and was on zyrtec, rhinocort, advair, etc.

i just use the AHA once a day (only at night). i just out on a bunch and after watching this i will put on spots that i have to see if it’ll help (behind my ear/neck area). this product i’ve used since july. i only use this as i have other things i use regularly. this is one of my favorites and i always take it with me on trips. i still do break out on the occasion for some reason.

Hey sorry to hear about the allergies. I work in the pharmacy as a pharmacy tech so hope this helps, we have been getting a lot of this. I would try zyrtec D or Clartin D. But the thing is you have to keep taking it everyday at the same time. It take about a week for these medications to work in your body system. Hope that helps! Sorry but there is really nothing that clears out allergies right away..dont believe that zyrtec commerical. If still not sure ask the pharmacist incase you are taking any other medications because they may interact with what you are taking.

Hey Dan,
I had really bad allergy for a couple of years now, but this year is the first one that I don’t have it–or more correctly–got rid of it. I had used everything over the counter and was left with unsastified results. However, my savors arrived this year (like your acutane). My doctor introduced Sudafed and Flonase. Back then, my noses were bleeding during the night, which caused me to sleep 3 hours a night, my eyes were itching, and other symtoms. Now a day, everything is completely normal. As my doctor prescribed, I need to take two tablets of Sudafed and one spray of Flonase a day. It work so well tha a week into the treatment, I end up taken only one tablet of Sudafed and a spray of Flonase a day. At this moment, the end August, I have stopped using them because the season is over.
They might work for you as well as they did for me. I saw a couple of other recommendations, and I know you are going to try them all. Hope you find the ones that work for you.
