dewdrop281 0 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I'm hoping you all can help!!! I've been using aqua glycolic face wash and face cream for about 3 months now. I have somewhat severe cystic acne. I started getting microderm abrasion a few months ago and my estetician told me that I was drying out my face too much and that was why I was scarring so badly (not to mention I pick which I am desperately trying to stop doing). Anyway, my tone is much more even and the marks are less angry and are fading faster. I also no longer have those large, painful cysts along my jawline. However, I am still breaking out and my face looks as if it has braile written all over it. I would like to add a BHA to my glycolic regimine. Can anyone recommend a good OTC cream/gel that might finally put an end to my continued breakouts???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
natalie_xox 0 Share Posted March 23, 2009 It sounds like you may be overdoing it.Try using a gentle cleanser (morning and night) and treating with AHA or BHA (one at night one in the A.M)A lot of people on makeupalley like Paula's Choice BHA. Or, you can try the stridex pads for sensitive skin (BHA) those get raves as well.Or you can use a toner with BHA (Clinique's MILD toner) this one is effective and gentle (no alcohol, one of the no numbers toner)Good luck!
