Thread: Can AHA cause the redness ?

I've just been to my dermatologist and I'll try to quote her. In her opinion my skin improvement is really big and visible, using DUAC + AHA Neostrata moisturizer (lotion). First of all I told her that after applying AHA I feel my skin burning and red and my skin can not adapt the AHA. Also I told her that my skin is very flaky and dry, so the answer was: As my skin is sensitive enough and there are only left like a three pimples on...

hehe, good to hear that i totally forgot about this topic . How is your skin doing now? Still using duac? At the moment i wash my face only once a day and apply duac before sleep and when i wake up my skin in no more red or dry, so i think i dont even need moisturizer anymore. I tried couple of moisturizers and in the end all of them broke me out .

Some common sense would tell me to start slowly and adjust usage, just like Dan's Regimen. If it starts to hurt and pain is unbearable back off on the AHA a bit.

I had the same problem with AHA. First few times it was fine. It just stung a little immediately after application, but it's only for a few minutes so I didn't mind. But eventually my skin became severely dry and red so I dropped it all together. Not for me I guess.
