How much longer?

I have been on the regimen for 2 months and I don't see any improvement. I have moderate acne so I expected to see some difference. I stick strictly to the regimen. My skin is basically the same as it was 2 months ago, except now it is very dry and flaky so I cannot wear makeup to cover the acne. I tried using the AHA to help w/ flakiness and it made it much worse. I use the jojoba oil and plenty of moisturizer. How much longer until I should start to see at least some improvement? Side note: I took the questionnaire and I could not identify any other problems that could be affecting my skin. Is there some other product/supplement I need to add?

Hi OcherImago,

I'm sorry to hear about your skin.

The AHA+ is a powerful exfoliant so having a reaction to this product is normal. If your skin could not tolerate the AHA+, you may start off by mixing 50% of the AHA+ and 50% Acne.org Moisturizer and apply the mixture every night. You can try this for a while and then switch back to using AHA+ full strength every 3 nights or so and see how that goes.

You may also start with a small amount of AHA+ and apply it every 2-3 nights and gradually ramp up the volume until your skin is well adjusted to the product.

Depending on your skin type it can take at the very least a week to get completely clear. If you have moderate to severe acne it can take several months for completely clear skin.

If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know.
