I started The Regimen on May 8th and within the week my acne cleared up.. I know what is left on my face isn't acne because my skin is smooth.. it just looks like there is acne still. Does The Regimen still help with the scars or pigmentation over time? I heard that the AHA+ is really good for scars.. I didn't order that so should I?
I plan on sticking to The Regimen for as long as possible.. I was just wondering about the scars. I'm already happy about the results so far. My face is less red and it looks like just my normal completion with some scaring on my cheeks. (:
Yes, AHA will help tremendously with acne hyperpigmentation... Time and patience also help... You may try out Dan's AHA to see if it works well for you... Most regimen users have great success with it, including myself. Best of luck and keep us up to date on your progress!!
First of all, congrats on clearing up! Just to mention don't get discouraged if a bit of acne comes back in a few weeks because the first few weeks are always a bit up and down. Hopefully you're clear for good now though!
As for the scars, time and patience is probably your best friend as far as they're concerned. AHA+ does work well, but in moderation and with low expectations (it won't fade your scars in 2 days!). I also find lemon juice is really effective and reduces redness. I'd recommend you wait a few weeks before experimenting though. Let your skin calm down and get used to the regimen, and in about a month's time start adding the AHA+ in gradually. Introduce it slowly like you did with the BP. Good luck!
