Wow, I've never seen that much peeling from the Body Regimen, usually this is very common when treating facial acne. Have you been doing any sunbathing or spending time at the beach or in the sun??

I'd try gently sloughing off the flakes with a wet wash cloth, and also stopping the AHA+ for 4-5 days and just using BP followed by straight moisturizer. Stick with straight moisturizer until the skin returns to normal, then try adding AHA+ back in 2-3 times per week.

Let me know if this helps!

Too much product...too much! Cut down to less than half of whatever amount you're using ( after you've given it a rest for a while). I used to put moisturiser in first when I used BP it didn't seem to get as dry. It kinda looks like you've used Retin A..

I agree with DeLovely! However, I recommend you slow down to using the regimen every other day and try to use a little less product.

If if it persists, use more moisturizer and less of the product that dries out your skin.

OK thanks for clarifying! BTW, I don't seen any acne so looks like it's keeping you clear. You might be able to get away with doing the Regimen every other day as WadeX suggests. At least until your skin returns to normal.

My acne on my chest has always been mild-moderat, but yes it cleared the acne up in 2 weeks, only red spots are left. My acne on my back however is a lot more difficult to clear up it seems, takes a lot longer for the acne to get reduced. BTW my chest has already healed a lot and the redness and flakiness has been reduced a lot since i stopped AHA so thats nice

I see peeling, and also noticing NO acne what so ever. Simple fix. Use Less! Try using a tad bit of moisturizer as well. Cant hurt. Should solve your problem.

Note: AHA isnt needed for the regimen, more or less just there if you "need" it for more severe/serious situations IMO.
