hi, i just started the acne regime. while waiting for the products from acne.org, i used a 3.5% bp, and left it on my face for a few days for 12 hours each day. that apparently really agitated by skin and made it really red. now even when i wake up my, my entire skin is red. what can i do to speed up recovery? imdefinitely avoiding bp right now. should i still wash with water twice a day? ive been putting moisturizer. its like i have a massive sunburn all over my face. its been like his since yesterday. will it go away in a few days? should i use aloe vera?

thanks

It will go away in a few days, just make sure you use a non-comedogenic frequently.

Just make sure you build up very gradually, I know it's difficult because we all want instant results but have faith in the process otherwise you will be battling redness many months into the regimen.

do you think aloe vera would speed up the process of healing? or just keep moisturizing? i just feel embarrassed cause my entire face is red
