How long will it take my skin to adjust?

This was purposefully vague so I could ask two questions. Mwu-ha-ha!

1. My skin still gets red from the BP, and it's almost been two months. Will that stop when my acne fades or will it just continue as long as I'm on the regimen.
2. I've been using a pump of AHA every night and it feels like a mini-reprise of when I started the regimen. Is this normal? I'm fine with it as long as it eventually adjusts...

Wow, three years. By then I probably won't even need the regimen then. Is that normal for most people or are you an extreme case?

Took my skin 4 months to really adjust and feel comfortable with BP. I just learned what moisturizers worked for me and everything eventually followed and my skin finally felt like skin again.

As for the AHA, a pump every night sounds like a lot. Mix it with moisturizer and the effects shouldn't be as bad. I just use half a pump of moisturizer and half a pump of AHA at night. I also add in some jojoba oil to that mixture.

How has no one said anything about the AHA?? You should not be using it everyday, your redness is from using aha everyday.. You need to cut down to using it every other day or every 3 days, and on the days youre not using AHA as a mositurizer use dans moisturizer, also you shouldn't be in the sun when using AHA, or reapply sunscreen every 2 hours while using AHA

it took me about 3 months to stop having flaky skin and around 3 months for the moisturizer to actually start absorbing into my skin instead of just sitting on top of my skin, i would touch my skin and have shinny moisturizer on the hand

Just to be clear, I do mix it with moisturizer and jojoba oil every night. Am I still doing it too often?
