ashleyms 0 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I have really sensitive skin and I'm very prone to redness.. I'm still not using BP as I'm afraid it might give me full-fledged rosacea but is it okay to use glycolic acid? I used it once last night (using the Night version) and i'm just wondering if it's alright. Because if not, i will need to stop right away Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brandolynn 287 Share Posted November 7, 2007 If you have sensitive skin that is prone to redness, I would not recommend NHSFL. It's pretty strong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ashleyms 0 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 Is there anything I could use?Oh, also, when I tried it last night I didn't feel any irritation or stinging. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Regi_1 7 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Well if it didn't irritate you then why not use it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shavingwoes 0 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I 2nd that; I'm using very little bp (only to spot treat) and the glycolic in NHSFL is slowly helping to fade red marks I've got whereas when I was just using bp it maintained them as well as maintaining an orange/red tint to my face .

Gyroscope352 4 Share Posted November 7, 2007 If NHSL makes your face too red, but you want to try AHA, you could try Lac-Hydrin 5, which contains lactic acid, a much milder AHA. But it still may not be for your sensitive skin. Just a suggestion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cool as kim deal 47 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Also, only using an AHA product at night (perhaps every other night or so) might make the redness a non-issue for you. My face does become pinker when I apply AHA and stays that way for 1/2 hour - 1 hour or so, but if I'm going to bed, that doesn't really matter much, and I don't wake up any redder than before. You will probably need to experiment to find the right strength of AHA and right frequency of application to avoid lasting redness, but I believe you can do it.
