Hello, I just wanted to ask if the AHA causes inital breakout if used. 2 years ago, I had really bad acne/breakouts and i started using Retin-A. About 3 weeks into using, I had worse breakouts and from the information labeled for the Retin-a, it said that breakouts happen to clean the skin etc. Sticking to it for 2 months, Ive found that my skin has cleared up, from around 50-70 pimples on my skin to only up to 5 pimples. However, I had tons of dark spots afterward. My skin technique was using benzoy peroxide in the mornign, then retin-a at night. Then sticking with them for about 1.5 years, my dark spots have faded. However, now I've not been very consistent with that cleaning technique, I had more acne and a lot more dark spots. I just wanted to ask if using AHA at night will cause anymore breakouts or will it not because my skin is used to Retin-a? Should i got for the AHA, or continue sticking with my routine. Thank you!
Well seeing as only a few people interested and you might be thinking im still experimenting something and i am well aware that you dont want to risk your skin.
Anyway, I sincerely hope my idea can help you. So there it goes have you seen anyone use hot water compressed 60-70 degree celcius in cotton cloth and hold onto scars area 1-2minutes? But before this you will need to get the supplement "solgar dry vitamin A tablet form" which contain retinyl palmitate 5000IU and L-ascorbic acid 10mg and crush one tablet into powdery form. After that wet the scars area with some water and your fingers as well because you will be using your finger to dap on the powder so it will stick to your fingers and start to apply it on the scars areas massaging for 30sec - 1minutes. After that use the cotton cloth/pad /wrapped into ball to absorb the hot water(60-70 degree) and hold onto your scars areas for 1-2minutes. If you find it too hot you can try press release press release until you doesnt feel much of the heat and hold it for 1-2minutes. You can repeat the procedure 2-3times per day but not too frequent like 2-3times/week so that let the scars have enough time to heal. I think basically this idea is to speed up the scars healing process to maximum. (It definitely speed up the healing in my case). The last part and most important is youMUSTwash it off with AHA cleanser or gentle mild cleanser or any type coz it seems to clogged a bit pores. You can also consume the supplement too if you want. I used nixodem once in a while to clear up the clogged pores. It is totally up to you when you want to do this treatment during weekend or before sleep so that the next morning the redness side effect has already subsided.
The after effect you get is some temporary redness after some time it will subside maybe like 1-2hours. You can apply makeup if you cannot wait. This might best suit for those with fresh scars, im not sure about old scars and deep indented. You might wanna give it a try if you like it :-), I think this works on hyperpigmentation/post inflammation too to shorten healing time by a lot. Yeah..
WARNING: If you are pregnant, it is best to avoid this treatment as it involve retinyl palmitate(synthetic vitamin A) which may cause birth defects.
The scars areas will be a bit sensitive so if you are not wearing make up you can apply some sun screen when going outdoors.
There will be a slight dizziness so it might not suitable for weak heart/low blood pressure/low blood sugar.
Well thats pretty much it. I hope it helps 🙂 Feel free to ask me anything
