Hey, I've been on the regimen for 3 weeks now and my reaction to the regimen has not changed even though in the "what to expect" section said my skin would be adapted to the chemicals. My face has been burning severely every time I apply BP even the smallest amount when I reduced it, and with the moisturizer added, it stings more for another 10 minutes also noting that whenever I apply BP not even around my eye area, I start to tear up a lot. Me personally, I don't think I've ever had sensitive skin because when I tried other products where slight burning would be involved i wouldn't feel the burning. Back on topic, For the first week I woke up with swelled eyes or just a swelled face around my eyes even though I did NOT applying BP round my eyes. I assumed since the moisturizer burned as well when I applied I was allergic to the moisturizer or of some sort my skin did not like it. So I decided to replace my moisturizer with Aveeno eczema therapy because my skin had become dry and so itchy I believed it was eczema. Everything was fine when I started to use it, no swollen eyes, for the burning was light. until the 2nd week 3rd day or so, came where severe itching and burning started to occur and it was driving me crazy. My face would be on FIRE, crazy red. Even friends would call me out and I believed and followed the "what to expect" and believed everything would be okay in couple of weeks. Because the burning and itching is normal for those who are starting. And then this week,my third, my face became EXTREMELY dry and as well, got called out. My face is superrrr flaky and I feel so restrained when I speak or make expressions. I recently been reusing the moisturizer but the burning is even more intense and lasts longer than it keeps To dry. I started applying Vaseline jelly after twenty minutes of having the moisturizer applied face has been hydrated. i did research and Vaseline does not clog
pores or produce acne. Although Vaseline helped massively, my face gets more dry everytime I use the regimen. I followed strictly the routine using it twice a day, said only error I did was apply BP twice a day my first week and I realized when I re-watched the video shortly after. Other than that I stopped touching my face, in hopes the regimen will do its work. My acne scars are fatal and I hope the AHA would fix that which is why I'm continuing to use the regimen for a month to apply AHA. Because my scars are so bad I use makeup to cover my face. Because I wear makeup, forehead broke out even more with small tiny bumps everywhere and I did notice my chin breaking out sooooooo much when I started the regimen. Although it seems like I'm exaggerating, im not. My face has been so swelled and dry with multiple breakouts since the regimen I sometimes can't recognize myself or believe my image. I still continue to wear makeup because my scars are terrible but used Almay brand that dan suggested. Do I stop using the regimen? If. I do, can I just apply a AHA alone? I'm poking forward to AHA fixing my skin and reducing the darkness of these scars or hyperpigmentation. And another note, I noticed many reviews for AHA and the regimen itself was mostly on people who have breakouts on their cheeks, more common areas. Whereas mines are my chin, nose ,and primarily forehead. I have never had acne on my cheeks. What should I do?
