Hello all! Ive been using this regimen for about two years with AWESOME results. But Im starting to develop cystic acne again. Has this happened to anyone else? Could my skin now be used to the products and it doesnt have an effect anymore? Thanks!!

Hello, possible reason for a product to stop working is whenyour skin becomes used to it.Making it important to rotate your products every so often. Sometimes changing routines, products and order-of-use can lengthen the amount of time a product gives you positive skin benefits.

Actually it's impossible for your skin to get used to benzoyl peroxide. That can't be the issue.

Usually, it's one of the following:

  • A new product - some products, particularly sunscreens can wreak havoc
  • A new medication - some medications cause acne
  • Consistent irritation like an irritating mask

Also, check this page and go to "biggest mistakes people make on the regimen." And lastly, make sure you're using AHA+ with the regimen.

Thoughts?
