Instead of that brand you are using, try Dan's AHA. I have had great results with it and it has licorice root extract so it helps soothe the skin (you said yours was irritated). If you are dead sure on not using AHA, try BHA (beta hydroxy acid/salicylic acid). BHA is great for comedones and blackheads (non-inflamed acne). The difference between the two is that BHA can work inside the pore (it penetrates oil) while AHA cannot.
