Acne.org Products
I'm 2 weeks and one day into the Regimen, I've been really loving it and its been working. it cleared up my face a nice bit and is continuing to kill acne.
the last few days, after cleansing and then ten minutes pass before BP, my skin is just all flakes. After the BP, and then eventually 2 pumps of Moisturizer and 5-7 drops of Jojoba Oil, the flakiness goes away and my face/complextion evens out.
problem is, over these few days, in the middle of the day or about 4 hours before next application, between my eyes and my cheeks slightly start to flake. i checked my forehead out in the mirror and it was as dry as ever.
my question is, is this normal for week 3, and is it okay to applydan's moisturizer in the middle of the day as well as morning and night? Im waking up with flaky skin too so I assume as the moisturizer absorbs, overnight the dry skin starts to come through again.
anyone else have to moisturize 3 times a day or deal with this as well?
EDIT: I should mention, my acne was never considered even completely "mild", I would've rated it just below mild. Its just consistant and usually deep pimples.Maybe I should only apply BP once a day instead?
any help is appreciated !
Just now, Control Panel said:It's normal.
Yes, you can moisturize as often as you need to. Part of the issue is that Acne.org Moisturizer doesn't hydrate well. It is formulated to feel "cosmetically elegant" on the skin, which comes @ a price. So for the time being juts apply moisturizer as often as you need to.
Great, thanks for the quick response !
I edited my post just before you replied. Like I said :
or maybe I shouldjust moisturize as necessary since everything else seems to be going just fine.
1 minute ago, Control Panel said:I would still do the Regimen twice daily until I cleared my skin. At that point I would reduce the application to once/day to see if I could stay clear (keep in mind that acne can take up to 3 weeks to surface). So if you do it only once/day and stay clear for the first week, don't be surprised if acne appears a couple of weeks later. If that happens just continue doing it twice/day. 🙂
Thanks a lot ! Really appreciate your quick responses.
The Regimen is working wonders for me and has even changed my pasty-white complexion to somewhat of a glow (I know, its the moisturizer) within only 15 days. I know I'm not out of the water yet completely since Im only mid-week 2 but this is the LONGEST period of time I've stayed clear (with one or two pimples here or there of course) in at least 4 months.
Couldn't be happier and well worth the money IMO so far!
thanks again CP !
