Will this still work?

I would never use the regimen unless its to clear acne - its very drying and aggressive and unless you want to clear acne it doesn't make sense to use it. Its made to clear acne, nothing else. Perhaps...

I need help

Acne treatment

I was using too much AHA, as in a full pump nightly, and my skin just couldn't handle it. It was making me worse. I stopped doing that and use it about 3 times per week and as a spot treatment.

Flaky skin when on the acne.org regimen

It’s normal to be dry and scaly on the regimen for months. It’s the BP. It will get better in time. Use jojoba oil.

It will come. I’ve been using the regimen for 7 years and slacked off and am back to following and my skin hates me, I never stopped using the BP. Give it time to come and when it does stick with it.
