So I am just a week shy of hitting my 6 month mark on the regimen, and I am still battling excessive flakiness. I wake up with a big amount of flakes all over my face, and also at night, I start to flake quite a bit as well, not even 12 hours post morning routine. Here is my current daily routine, for both morning and night:
Cleanse, 1.5 pumps bp, and Cerave Moisturizing Lotion to moisturize, with about 6 drops of jojoba oil.
Please help me out as this is very frustrating, and I haven't heard of too many people on here that have made it to 6 months and are still flaking. I am considering switching to the cetaphil moisturizer at night time because I've heard it's really moisturing.
Anything helps!! Thanks!
Hi ImprovedCat,
Sounds like your going through a tough time. But we can help.
First make sure your following the instructions very closely. Second make sure you're using only the three Acne.org Regimen products on your face and nothing else.
If you are using only the Acne.org products and following the instructions exactly and you still have dry flaky skin. You can do two things.
1. Use more Acne.org Moisturizer (you cant use too much). Feel free to apply it through the day as needed to keep your skin soft and hydrated.
2. Add 5-6 drops of Acne.org Organic Jojoba Oil into the palm of your hand and mix it with the Acne.org Moisturizer before applying it each morning. At night you can add even more (as many drops as you want).
The Acne.org Moisturizer is designed to calm and heal the skin and return it to its natural balance. The Acne.org Jojoba oil is almost identical to the natural oils of the skin. By using both of these products in conjunction on a daily basis you should see calmer, more hydrated healthier looking skin very soon.
You may also add the use of the Acne.org AHA+. We advise applying it 2 to 3 nights per week after applying the moisturizer.
The Acne.org AHA+ will speed up the natural skin renewal process on a cellular level causing your skin to heal and replenish faster. This will help with skin renew faster than it can flake off. The Acne.org AHA+ will also help to fade any dark marks left behind from past breakouts.
