Does the dryness/flakiness/peeling ever stop? I've been using the Regimen for around 3-4 months now, and the constant flakiness is getting extremely frustrating. I've looked in the "problems with dryness or flakiness?" thread, and none of the posts there have helped. If anyone has any other suggestions or info, please let me know!

Have you incorporated AHA+ into your routine yet?

I have not, do you think that'd help?

hahaha the flaking never stops bro, at least for me it hasn't. I've been on the regimen for 6 months now, and that entire time... My skin has been real flaky. Only thing I'd recommend is use a lot of jojoba oil, maybe if change moisturizers if you want to and if you can decrease the amount of BP you use, thats about it

Yes, many people who still deal with the dryness and flakiness is because they have NOT added the AHA+, are you mixing the jojoba oil with your moisturizer? That helps too. I had dryness/flakiness and even when I moisturized I could still feel the dry patches, I felt so subconscious, when it hit the 1 month mark I added the AHA+ and problem solved! Holy moly, no flakiness, no dryness, my skin feels supple and soft, my makeup goes on so well. I'm surprised you haven't looked into it yet after using for months, I would definitely look into AHA+, it worked wonders for my dry skin.

I have a bottle of Dan's AHA+, I just don't know where to incorporate it into the Regimen. I'll definitely give it a try!

Cleanse, bp, wait for it to dry completely or else the AHA+ will ball up with the bp, use a thin layer of the AHA, it might burn, but since you've been on the regimen for months I don't think it will, wait for that to dry, then apply some moisturizer if you think your skin still feels dry after that. I personally apply a moisturizer over the AHA, its own personal preference, you test out what you like. Good luck!
