Acne.org Products
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I've been on the acne.org regimen for almost 3 full months and I'm super confused. the first month was great I saw much progress. I've been peeling for over a month and I'm confused. the only thing I can think of is that I used a different moisturizer for like 2 weeks. it was the Cetaphil moisturizing cream. I just started back using the moisture Dan gives you. but my skin is way more red and "bold" I that makes sense. it's not as faded i think I'm getting more scars. I don't have pimples only scars.I don't know what to do. it was fading before I started changing stuff. is there anything I can do to get back to what it was?? am I doing something wrong with the process? should I lessen the amount of bp to help with the peeling? I use less in the morning. but a lot at night. please help
If you've been on the Regimen that long, then you're ready for AHA+. AHA+ takes your skin to the next level by targeting all the red marks and PIH from old acne that are keeping your skin from looking clear. It's not scars; these marks will fade with time, even if you do nothing. But with AHA+, they'll fade much faster. You may see some peeling initially (sorry, but that's the process!) but with time, the peeling will subside and skin will smooth out.
As far as peeling now...I wouldn't worry so much about that. Just keeping using the amount of BP you need to stay clear of acne. But you could try using less if the peeling is really unbearable. If you find acne returning, then just up the dose again to stay clear. Another thing you could try is jojoba oil. In the shower, use a small palmful of jojoba oil and "wash" your face. You may feel a grittiness on your hands...that's the flakes coming off. You could even wet a washcloth and very gently wipe your face to remove more flakes. Then go on to wash your face with the cleanser as usual. Doing this periodically will help you stay on top of the flakes, and will help keep your skin soft.
Hope this is helpful! 🙂

You may incorporate the Acne.org AHA+ after you have applied the Acne.org Moisturizer.
You may start off by mixing 50% of the AHA+ and 50% Acne.org Moisturizer and apply the mixture every night.You may also start with a small amount of AHA+ and apply it every 2-3 nights and gradually ramp up the volume until your skin is well adjusted to the product.
