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

Edit: What are the ingredients?

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

 

but I thought aha will get rid of dead skin so that u won't be flaky I guest?

Just been to 4 walgreens stores and none of them carry AG, asked the manager and she also had a customer ask for AG, said that Walgreens doesn't carry it, she even asked the pharmacy. Guess here in the west coast California, Walgreens don't carry it..... guess i have to order online

So you apply it to dry skin, rub, then wet, and apply again? So technically you're using/rubbing it in twice in one period?

No first you put it on your hands, then you add water, put it on your skin, and then rinse it off. Thats what I do at least

Oh. Is this something I need to use alone, or I could use it earlier in the day and then use my perscribed treatment at night? (retin-a)

It's just a cleanser...you can wash your face with it in the mornings and wash your face with something else at night if you want and continue with Retin A as usual.

Yup NP. Goodluck!

CVS may not have it, if they don't they may be able to order it for you, but if not drugstore.com is a good place to get it online.

But try CVS first just in case.

Think about it, when your face gets flaky, that's when the dead skin is coming off...

Ok. :), I will replace the Alpha-Hydrox with the face cream, although I am starting to see my red marks fade with it though. :dance:

is that really true that when your skin flakes the dead skin is coming off? or is it just a guess.

well anyways i just got my aqua glycolic in the mail today, i tried it and kept it on my face for about 30 seconds and it hasnt dried my face or anything, so so far so good.

You will love it! I have a tip for how to use it. Put it on dry skin only, massage it, then add water to your hands and massage again but with the water, then rinse it off. It is a cleanser that is kind of hard to suds up so if you need to, use an exfoliating brush but only use the brush once a day

Does it peel your skin acne battle?... also what if i continue to use BP as a spot treatment?

 

ALSO, I have Proactiv toner (6% GA with aloe and witch hazel) would this work as good as AG?

 

Thanks
