Acne Free - Skin Care

Question: How to properly use acne-free (proactive knockoff)?

(Posted by: andrew on 2010-01-17 13:21:06)

I am using the AcneFree sensitive skin system kit. 1. i shower and use the corrective cleanser, stings a little. 2. after i dry my face i apply the pH balancing moisturizer. 3. when the moisturizer has dried i apply the Terminator spot treatment. would this be how the procedure should be done? and also when the spot treatment dries and begins to peel when making facial movement, should I leave it as it is? This is because I'm doing all this in the midst of school and i obviously cant be seen with dried ointment peeling away from my skin. And one last thing, i know that acne free can leave irritation, so would a red, dry, scab like area (namely the cheeks) be normal for irritation? or should i stop using acne free for awhile, and use something like aloe vera to let it heal? can a store brand aloe vera work?

As far as i am aware you are using it properly. May i suggest using step one and letting it sit on for about 5 minutes. Also don 't keep the spot treatment on in large amounts for more than 10 - 15 minutes either - i had scars from it burning my skin that didn 't go away until i used aloe vera gel directly from the plant. The dry red spots on your cheeks are burns from using it too often. If you are using it twice a day - change to once every other day until acne is cleared up a little more, then you can use it once or twice a day. Your skin needs to become used to the strong chemicals in it. Best of luck - good choice in product!

I use this product but stopped using the spot treatment because it was too harsh. I use the cleanser, then the toner, and end with the moisturizer. I only use the moisturizer in acne pron places and dove sensitive skin moisturizer on the other places, like my cheeks.
