One month into regimen

I am a guy who is one month into the regimen and I have a few questions:
It doesn't seem like my skin is any better, is this normal?
Should I start AHA now? I've already bought it...
Is it ok to skip a night once in a while?
There is a lot of redness, but only on the areas where acne perists, I assume this will go away when the acne goes away?
Thanks!
Also: do I need to where sunscreen?

A lot of people don't see results until about 4+ months in.
I would start AHA once you feel used to BP and start SLOWLY. Like a pea sized amount every 2-3 days and see how that goes. My skin did not like it for a while, even going slowly... it just took a while to adjust. - You can definitely skip if you feel the need or if you forget or for whatever reason, but keep in mind that may cause breakouts. Depends.

Redness will happen with BP until your skin adjusts, so use less if you feel the need. building up slowly is key.

Yes, wear sunscreen always, even if you weren't on the regimen!

Thanks for the reply @geeking , but my skin is always weirdly white when I wear sunscreen on my face. Any suggestions?

Hm, rub it in well and let it sink in before going outside?
