My progress on the regimen is going so far so good!! I'm happy that my skin looks way better now then it did before! (Picture will be attached) I'll be going to the beach in two weeks & I'm not sure if its 100% ok if I continue using benzoyl peroxide in the am while I'm there or just pm & just stick to cleanser & moisturizer+ jojoba oil in the am or the whole week!! I don't know so if you have any suggestions I will really appreciate it!! Also is there anything that'll help to reduce/fade the red acne marks/spots/scars that I still have?? I've heard the aha may help but I'm not sure if I should try it...is there an alternative or something you used that worked for your skin? Or should they eventually fade as I continue using the regimen, say 5-6+months? One last question! Lol, any alternative for the moisturizer?? I really like it but I really hate waiting for it to arrive when I prefer driving to a drugstore & just pick one up. I've heard cerave or cetaphil but which would be better? I have a lush one called cosmetic lad ( I'll attach a picture) but idk if it would be a good option. Thank you if you took the time to reply!!

Given the fact that your skin is pretty clear and there doesn't seem to be any active acne it should be fine to skip BP during the day when your at the beach. However you really need to wear a non-commmedemic sunscreen in order to prevent sunburn, which can complicate the regime. With regarding your red mars, AHA will help, however i suggest waiting before adding any other variables to your skin. Cerave and Cetaphil are generally accepted as good alternatives to acne org products, all the best

Skipping BP in the AM is fine. Just cleanse and moisturize. I've done this before where we spent the day at the beach and I just didn't bother with BP because we were swimming in the ocean. Also, use an SPF because you don't want to overly dry out your skin during the PM when you put on the BP over your sunburn or something.

Oh, and Cetaphil and Cerave both work really well. I prefer Cerave as my day moisturizer and Cetaphil as my night time moisturizer. Both have their pros and cons if you use one in the AM or PM.
