Hi everyone,
I have just received my AHA today and am not sure when to start using it.. I'm 5 and a half weeks in to the regimen and things seem to be clearing up I would prob say I don't actually have any active pimples just a few small bumps where the previous ones are drying out I do however have a ton of hyperpigmentation! Things started to improve for me when I cut down the amount of BP to pea sized morning and night and I also only use the moisturiser in the day time.. I know many of you on here will disagree with that. I also have been using clindamycin to spot treat at night.
whats the best way to use the AHA on its own or mixed in with the moisturiser ? And if I do use on its own how many times a week ? And also should i expect a purge from using this ?
what kind did you buy and what percent? mine is already a lotion so i put it on at night because aha makes you sensitive to the sun. i use it about 4 or 5 nights in a row and than i take a brake for a few days so that my skin doesnt get too used to it. some people purge on it and others dont. i think that also depends on the strength you got. i personally wouldnt mix aha with bp but if you used it 12 hours apart, like one in the morning and the other at night you might be ok. but i really dont think you would need the bp once you start using aha. or find a salicylic spot treatment for emergencies.
I ordered dans aha the 10 percent one. I don't mean mix it with the BP I mean use the BP morning and night and then some ppl on the regimen also use the aha mixed in with their moisturiser or on it's own a few times a night. I was thinking to give it a few more weeks before i started using. It
