Unless you have severe, widespread, and scarring acne, The Regimen is normally my suggestion for the most effective acne treatment.

So I started using this product maybe 4 days ago and its broken me out (not severely but I can tell this product has had an effect on how many pimples I get). Im 15, (just turned), and usually I'll get a pimple or two every 2-3 days, but with this product I've gotten 8 maybe 9 pimples in a period or 3-4 days. Most arent even white heads, just bumps under my skin. Should I stop using it or continue? I haven't seen results (using it for my acne dark marks I have left over from all the previous pimples) but I wouldn't expect much in 3-4 days.

BTW, I don't think my skins purging. They're big cystic ones, and theres small purging type zit mixed in here and there. ITCHES SO BAD UGHHH

AHA's are surface skin exfoliants. Maybe you should try a BHA, which is usually Salicylic acid based.

How long did you wait before dumping it?

I probably used it for a few weeks to a month, and it didn't really seem to do much except cause more little bumps. I'm sure it must be effective for some people, but a glycolic cleanser alone didn't do it for me
