You guys suck, i posted a comment and nobody answered my question for the past week.

How long are you guys leaving it on your skin? Im leaving it for 30 seconds but havent noticed any results yet. Been almost a week Ive been using it.

Are you serious?! I noticed results the first three days I used it. Yes, I had used it before I was on Dans regimen. I just put it on my dry skin for ten seconds or less, add water, and then I rinse it off

So what made you decide to get back on the AG, Molly? I thought you said it was unbearably overdrying. :think:

Can you use BP and this product together? Also, is the cleanser or toner more effective?

 

Edit: What are the ingredients?

I dont recommend using this and BP together.

In fact, I don't recommend using BP at all. BP is a horrible thing to use on the face, lol i suggest removing BP from your regimen all together and just switching to AG. I've only been using this stuff for like, 3 days, and I'm already starting to see a slight improvement in my red marks... also no break outs at all.

Well, I just got another refill of my BP so I guess I will wait before I try AG. Thanks for the advice.

No Glycolic Acid and BP are both products that are drying so using both of them would make your face look like its plastered lol

I dont know if it does or not. Its worth a shot though. Put the cleanser on dry skin and then put water an on exfoliating brush and use that to suds up the cleanser.

I'm going to ask the pharmacy at my Walgreen's.. I really want to try this stuff. Right now, I use Neutrogena's Pore Refining because it has GA in it, but I understand that it's no AG. And, so, hey.. How long am I supposed to leave this stuff on my skin before I rinse it?

 

 

By the way, I would advise against BP. I remember reading in SEVERAL threads that BP is directly linked to redmarks. I went off BP for a couple months, and they almost ALL faded -- And I had them for months upon months upon months. My guess is that the BP doesn't give your skin the chance to repair.. I mean, it makes sense.. You guys ALL know the shit effects of BP.. Drying, wrinkles, itching, etc.. It's bad news.

 

I'm kind of back on it (Just what's in my facewash.. Not a cream application), but only until I get things under control.. Then I may give Tea Tree Oil a try. Jojoba is heaven-sent, but it doesn't have the antiseptic benefits. Perhaps I can mix the two? .. Sorry, thinking out loud.

to stardusted...

massage into dry face for 15 seconds then add water and cleanse for a bit longer while it rinses off. if your face isn't naturally dry then you could probably keep the stuff on your face for a bit longer

You dont leave it on. You just put it on dry skin, add water to an exfoliating brush, and then use the brush to make the cleanser suds up more.

Yeah bp is aweful! It put chemical burns on my face and lots of the pimples didnt fade.

They have tea tree oil at the Body Shop. You may want to try it. In fact, I made a thread about that.

They arent for me. I use it once a day and I dont go over the same spots again. I do each part of my face for about twenty seconds, thats all.

Just buy a brush with soft brustles and its perfectly fine to ask questions. They sell them at Target, The Body Shop, KidsRUs, amazon, etc. Asking questions is part of learning. Part of the reason I love this site so much is I enjoy helping others.

I use tea tree oil and jojoba mixed at night after I put emu oil on my face. It's a very good combo, and my face always looks better the morning after I use it.
