Okay so tomorrow will be my third week of using the the kit (wash, benzoyl peroxide, moisturizer) tomorrow and Ive seen improvements but also things that Im not happy about. (I had oily skin and a lot of teeny tiny pimples on my fore head and a couple of big ones on my cheeks and between my eyebrows and forehead, Im also a 16 yr old girl). The first week my skin cleared up and it looked amazing and so did the second week. Halfway through the second week I started to break out a bit and i know its because Im getting used to the products. Then my skin started dry up and tighten to so quick. I think its because the weather is beginning to be very nippy becauee winter is coming and the products would dry my skin out so mixed the moisturizer with coconut oil because i didnt have jojoba oil (as recommended to use). Throughout the day it would start to get dry again but Im too scared to use other products because I think itll mess the whole routine up. I dont know what to do and Ive tried so many things for my skin and I really do believe this stuff will help me. Its made me feel so good about myself in the beginning and I hope itll continue to make me feel that way.
Hi BonzerMullet,
Coconut oil is comedogenic which may cause breakouts on your skin so we do not recommend that you use it with the Acne.org Moisturizer.
If you are experiencing dryness, you may use the Moisturizer as often as needed or you may add 5-6 drops of the Jojoba Oil to the Moisturizer
If the acne.org moisturiser doesn't work for you, try replacing it with Cerave PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion. I've been using it as part of the Regimen for years (though it's sadly just been discontinued in the UK). I've been acne-free the whole time, and before doing so I used to get lots of spots including nasty cysts.
