Acne.org Products
Hai. I am already a month and 2 weeks on the acne.org regimen. It did great,my cystic acne has gotten smaller but it is still there somehow,not yet fully disappeared hahaha. I have added AHA into my regimen. Been using AHA mixed with moisturiser, at first I mixed 1/4 AHA:1 moisturiser then up it to 1:1 ratio. It did bring effects,but small yet hardly noticeable effects. I was doing that for everyday since my skin can tolerate it. The thing is,I still have dead skin patches (those on my temples are very noticeable) even though I had incorporated AHA,and it is very frustrating because people could really see it. So I was thinking of using only AHA every night (2 TINY TINY TINY pea sized dollops) without mixing with moisturiser. I would like to know is it okay to do that everyday? Also I am confused whether it is much better to apply AHA first before BP or apply BP first then AHA? I read some topics that says positive and even faster results when they used AHA before BP. Please help me. I am so confused by this because my hyper pigmentation are haunting me EVERY TIME and EVERYDAY ,that I feel like I want to be faceless now.

You know how if you get a 70% or whatever AHA peel (one administered by a professional) the skin peels in chunks during the next few days? I think something similar happens with 10% glycolic acid, just not as noticeable. AHA helps with acne but not with dry, flaky skin. The treatment gel contains benzoyl peroxide, so you want it to have as much contact with your skin as possible. AHA isn't really a treatment, so apply it over the BP gel.
Thank you very much for replying. It really helped. Also,for your case,how do you treat your flakiness and dryness? Do you still use the Acne.org AHA or do you find another products to counter the flaky dry skin with?

So how is your skin now? Acne-free? How long have you been using the Acne.org products? I am really curious sorry if it annoys you hahaha.
