Hey! This is my first time signing up here and I'd just like to get some input on this problem. My acne is swarming with red bumps on my cheeks there's always one additional pimple appearing. So I decided to buy this new acne kit from sheamoisture problem skin. It containes African black soap and no harmful chemicals. I was so excited to try it. After a few days I noticed new pimples appearing! Why! The kit includes moisturizer and much healthier than the other products I've used! Before I used Oxy face wash it always helps with new pimples. Just wondering why this natural product did so badly on my skin, I really wanted to see use something natural
Hi there! I'm sorry that you're having issues with your skin
You said it's only been a few days, and i'm experiencing this issue too, but maybe it's just your skin adjusting?
Make sure you're extremely gentle when you cleanse it, and be very strict to your regimen. Aside from that, I would continue using the products for a couple more weeks to see if they start clearing up your skin.
Usually the skin cell turnover rate takes (i believe) from 3-6 weeks, and if it has only been a few days your skin may have not had time to adjust!
I would stick to it for a little while longer, and if you don't see any improvement after about a month or so (or if you notice your skin getting significantly worse) drop the products and run far away, honey!
(Seriously though, if your skin is getting worse and you see no improvement after a couple weeks, i would try something else!)
I hope it ends up working for you though, good luck!!
Well, you went from using something with 10% Benzoyl Peroxide (freaking strong OTC acne-fighting medication) to using something with no medication (I am assuming. For a while, I used Allafia's Neem & shea & African Black Soap treatment kit for dry acne prone skin and it sounds similar to what you are using) Of course your skin is freaking out.
