Hi everyone,
I've been on the Regimen for about 5-6 weeks now and I've been using the Acne.org products.
The first month was interesting. I experienced dryness on my neck due to the moisturizer and around my mouth due to the benzyl peroxide. Since then I'm still experiencing dryness on my neck and I've been using jojoba to repair my skin. I also avoid using the benzyl peroxide around my mouth.
Aside from those issues, my acne has decreases... slightly. No big improvements but I know it takes time.
My current issue is that it seems as though I have a lot of dead skin all over. My forehead, nose and cheeks look dark and wrinkly. I've been using the AHA for 1 week but only for 3 nights as per instructed but things are getting worse.
I'm tempted to decrease my use of the benzyl peroxide and allow my skin more time to adjust but I risk an increase in acne.
My other option is to increase my use of AHA and hope that my skin won't be irritated.
What should I do?
Are you moisturising enough, or adding jojoba oil to your moisturiser? You can also try using some jojoba oil and gently massage your face almost as if you're exfoliating. When you rub it, if the dead skin is loose, they'll come off. Just be gentle! And I guess the only other option is patience But keep up with the AHA!
