Hello, I've been on the regimen for a few years now with good success. I used to have bad cystic acne, but it is now almost completely eliminated. I do sometimes get a random isolated cyst occasionally on my face, but nothing like it was before. I've thought about using Dan's AHA on my face every night to further strengthen the effectiveness of the regimen. Right now I mix it with half moisturizer and half aha, but I've thinking about using just pure AHA. My body hasn't reacted badly at all to AHA, and neither has my face (when using at half strength).
My point is, is it ok to use full strength AHA every night on my face as a moisturizer? Does anyone else do this? Again I'm talking about Dan's AHA.
Thanks!!!
Hi pieguy,
I actually like pies as well.
Anyway, the Acne.org AHA+ is a powerful exfoliant so it should not be used everyday. Over exfoliation may cause irritation on your skin. You may use the Acne.org AHA+ at full strength every 2-3 nights.
If you need any further help, please let us know.
I used to use only AHA full strength every night in replace of moisturizer. It ended up drying out/dehydrating my skin because it was too much. Now what I do is mix half and half 6 days a week, but once a week I will use AHA full strength by itself. You could probably get away with using AHA by itself every other day depending on your skin type. But if you want to get up to that you can start off slow (once a week) to see how your skin reacts first and go from there!
