Unless you have severe, widespread, and scarring acne, The Regimen is normally my suggestion for the most effective acne treatment.

Still Breaking Out & Extremely Dry And Flaky

Hi,

I have been on The Regimen for around 3 months 1/2, and although my skin has cleared a little bit, I'm still having breakouts (I have moderate/severe acne).

But the problem is, for a month now (two months after I began The Regimen), my skin has been a lot dryer and flakier. It's extremely itchy and sensitive. I thought that by now, my skin would be used to the BP and that it would be significantly clearer, but none of those is the case. I have also been using AHA+ for almost two months (AHA mixed with Cetaphil moisturizer every night), and I feel like it doesn't make any difference...

Can anyone estimate how long this dryness/flakiness will last? How long did it take for you guys to get better skin (no flaky skin with barely any acne)?

Thanks! And advice is appreciated

The dryness/flakiness diminished for me over time but did not completely go away. If you are still itching this far in I would recommend cutting back. I remember the itching intensifying for me on the regimen right before i developed facial eczema. This may not be the case for you but you have to listen to your skin
