Im on my 9th week of the regimen, still breaking out but i definitely see a huge improvements, BP doesnt sting anymore so I ordered aha and i need advice from anyone who has tried using AHA. I wanna know how exactly to use it. I heard some people broke out from using it. Please guide and tell me your experience

Its always best to start slowly. Mix a small dollup into your moisturiser and apply every 3rd - 4th night for a couple of weeks and start increasing either the amount of AHA or frequency. Just gauge how your skin is reacting and adjust.

When I first started using AHA it caused me to break out again, but once that breakout healed a couple of weeks later, my skin was left glowing and smooth. It had helped to bring all the remaining underskin bumps to the surface and once healed I was left with no more bumps (or acne).

Good luck, and let us know how you get on. :)

Thank you so much this is so helpful. I wanna ask a follow up question, do people always break out when they use AHA? Or is it only because they put too much AHA in the beginning of using it?

I felt the same way. I was 10 weeks in and still had a a lot of red marks and a small pimple popping up every 2 days or so, and was getting so frustrated. I incorporated the AHA as a spot treatment for these pesky pimples and the red marks and can honestly say the results were phenomenal. I haven't had a break out in 3 weeks now and my red marks are finally fading. I feel like acne.org regimen has finally worked for me. Please don't fret about adding it in like I did. It ended up being the best decision I made. Now I just need to find an SPF that agrees with my new, clear skin. Good luck!
