Hey Dan, would this replace the AHA+ because I only use AHA as a spot treatment or nightly moisturiser?? If I had Sal Acid when would I use the AHA? Is Sal Acid better than AHA? Sorry loads of questions there.
Wowza, ur skin does look really good Dan. It’s like it’s glowing or something. I don’t own salicylic acid, but you are definitely making me think about purchasing it in this video. Does salicylic work as a active exfoliatee since it says it makes ur skin soft.
Do anyone have problems with the salicylic acid? Mine kinda separates into SA and jojoba oil so when it comes out, theres a whole bunch of oil. So now, I have to shake it before opening it.
I have ordered it and will try it when it comes, but I do have a question. (Two, actually). I”m currently using the AHA as a nightly moisturizer and I LOVE it, the only problem with my skin texture is the pore size, which AHA doesn’t seem to help. Is this intended to replace the AHA? Or can we use AHA as a spot treatment over the sal acid? Or (sorry, loooads of questions) can we just alternate them on different days as nightly moisturizers?
aalso (sorrry) any update on the SPF? Can’t wait for that stuff, summer’s on the way:):)
I use the SA+ at night with a little less BP than I use during the day. It’s not quite moisturizing enough on its own for my dry skin, so I also do use a little of your moisturizer.
I heard that your skin can become tolerant of salicylic acid so it shouldn’t be used every day. I was told that once or twice a week is the best. Or maybe that just applies to a large dose? Like when you do an aspirin mask? I know the masks make my skin look less red and it feels nice and smooth afterwards.
I tried it for the first time this morning (was nightshift so that was “night” for me. It feels a bit dry so I may have to moisturise afterwards if I keep doing it.
hey dan i have been doing this for about 2 months now i definately think its the best routine iv come up with yet.
also, as i just noticed it, in the treatments reviews part of the site there is a method called ‘urine testing’ which is actually all about splashing it all over your face, some guy claims to have had luck with this, not sure if i’d have the stomach or the guts to see if my waste was good for acne…
I just tried using the Sal Acid+ again for the first time since last year. Same result – A face that turned so red that it looked like I had been out in the blazing hot sun all day without sunscreen just seconds after applying it. That’s simply not a normal reaction, so I guess I’ll be trying the AHA+ again. It’s unfortunate, because I’ve used other Sal Acid products in the past with no such result as with this one. I’m running out of options.

I get the same, but not badly. I usually just give it a shake or two before opening it.

I’ve been using it once a day for a while now, and my face still gets noticeably red after applying. It goes away after about 5-10 minutes though. It’s not a show stopper for me.
Generally speaking I’ve been happy with the SA+; the AHA is too thick for me and tends to sort of pill up on my face a while after using so I only use it for spot treatment. Dan mentioned recently about thinning it out, so I’m curious about getting a new tube though…
I’m definitely done using BP during the day though… Whatever it is about me and it, I lose too many clothes to bleaching :/
I’ve pretty dry skin though (especially this time of year) so I’m a little cautious about using it on top of BP at night as a moisturizer, I’ll watch this line of thought with interest though!
I’m very glad to see that you are running this experiment.
I have been using salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide with a gentle cleanser (following another program) and had the clearest skin of my life. I was searching the other day for some reviews on some products and found your site and your great price on benzoyl peroxide, which I plan to purchase from you. Your regimen intrigued me because I’ve never achieved completely clear skin, and I’m interested in trying it. However, one thing that has been holding me back is that I think the use of the salicylic acid along with benzoyl peroxide has taken years off my face and made my skin glow. As someone who suffered with bad skin for years and finally figured out how to achieve fairly clear skin after I was well into adulthood, this anti-aging effect is important to me. My understanding is that salicylic acid is also better at penetrating oily skin than AHA.
I’m very glad to see this development as I think it will make your regimen work for more people, including older people and people with oily skin.

dan you should look into red and blue lights, They seem promising.
is there a difference between putting sal acid on at night or in the morning? same with aha, does it matter?

I’d be interested in trying it. BP keeps me clear but I’m not very happy with my skin texture.
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL PERFECT SKIN DAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’d love to help Dan, but I only recently went on the regimen. I’ll try it when the regimen gets me cleared up though!

markis, that sounds absolutely disgusting and NOT sanitary! I don’t think we should go that far. OMG.

Dan, how long was it that you were on the regimen until you cleared up?
