I have acne cosmetica at the moment and plan on purchasing the Acne.org Regimen kit (plus the AHA and Jojoba oil). I currently use the Mario Badescu Glycolic Foaming Cleanser with a Clarisonic and follow that up with the Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner in my skincare routine. Do you think I can still use my Clarisonic when I am on this Regimen? Can I still use my Mario Badescu cleanser and toner too? Thank you!
I agree with the above poster. In order to get the best possible results from the Acne.Org Regimen, it's important not to use other non-Acne.Org products at the same time. You need to trust the process for however long it takes to get clear. Once you're clear, then if you want to experiment with building in additional products or steps, that would be up to you. Also, if you break out shortly after adding a new product or step, chances are it's what you added to your regimen that is the culprit.
Hope you love the jojoba oil and AHA+ as much as we do! You can begin incorporating the jojoba oil right away into your Regimen to help minimize uncomfortable dryness. The AHA+ is safe to build in after the 4-week mark or whenever your skin has fully adjusted to the BP treatment, whichever comes later. The AHA+ will help take care of flaky skin from the BP treatment and also start working on clearing red marks.
Wish you great success!
My advice would be that once you have gotten cleared and have stayed clear for a while, you can start experimenting with other products. I do suggest adding in one product at a time so you can properly gauge if that product works well with the regimen or will just break out out more.
I do this everytime I try out a new skin care or make-up product just so I know which ones break me out.
