Just wanted to give some helpful money saving info….walgreens sells a tub of aha creme for only $7.99. It has only 7% aha in a 70% solution but tonight I used it for the first time and I can tell my skin is calmer and more supple looking…llike a new glow! And its been soooo dry and flaky! Its either the “W” brand or Studio 35 brand. Check it out! AND its fragrance free!

Thanks AR! I am going to try the Korres Yogurt Cream! Seems like we all have the same problem..dehydrated oily skin! Hopefully this will help!

I experienced a lot of flaking, my skill felt itchy and looked burnt. I switched my moisturiser to Korres yogurt cream which targets dehydrated oily skin. This sinks in really well and takes care of the flakiness without any residual grease, and doesn’t contain any skin irritants. I have also tried 3 drops of coconut oil mixed with aloe vera gel for those super dry, angry, itchy skin days. Aloe vera hydrates and coconut oil is anti inflammatory. Works reall well.

Hey guys, I’m on week 3 or so. My skin is flake city, and it was kind of embarrassing, but it’s getting better and better. Just keep with the regimen and you should be fine. I’m going to get on AHA pretty soon, and that’s going to be the last of the flakes. Nice video haha

yes, am experiencing same SUPER dryness and flakes and on week 2.5. Not sure how to get rid of flakes, can I exfoliate, I am so tempted, but read that irritation like that is a big no-no. using approved lotion and jojoba oil, guess i will use a bit more. HELP!

Okay so the benzoyl peroxide has reduced my bumps, but like a lot of people my skin is sore, red and flaky and very, very tight. It feels like it’s been sunburnt. I had good results after the first two days, but since then my skin has descended to this gross red mess. I have only been using it at night (very sparingly too) because if I used it more I think I’d actually burn my skin off, and that would NOT be good at all. So for now I am going to stick to my guns and live it out to see if my skin builds some tolerance to the benzoyl peroxide…because right now I’m kinda in limbo…would I rather have moderate acne, or would I rather have this irritated, dry flaky skin? Hmmmmmm.

My neck and chest are so dry, red, and scaly & I’ve got a date tonight I started the regimen too quickly, I think. I’m not putting BP on my neck anymore, not for now, and I am putting jojoba oil on it to help calm my skin. I also put a little hydrocortisone cream on it last night to calm the redness & that seems to have helped. I am keeping up the BP on my face though and things are clearing up a bit. In the meantime, I’m starting to wonder if I ought to take a cue from these guys. Turtlenecks on a sunny day, anyone?

Bob, the same thing happened to me. I thought it was an allergic reaction, my skin became rashy, like little red bumps all over the place it wasn’t fun It burned, was itchy. Try just doing the regimen once a night, or maybe once every other night at first and it should go away. I wanted to quit because of it, I was like “I’m done”.. but I know you have to just push through like Dan says. Quitting is a big mistake. I’m glad I didn’t!!!

I’ve been using the regimen for 2 days … and my face is red/bumpy and itchy. I hope it goes away
