I think you’re just purging. Mine did that on tretinoin and literally my skin looked like that for 3 months!! And now my skin is glass. Try the sandwich method and do cereve deep intense moisturizer before and after you apply the acid serum it’ll help

Mine did the same for the first 1-1.5 weeks! I cut back the mandelic acid to every 2-3 nights instead of every night and by 2 weeks I noticed it starting to clear up. I’ve been using for about 6 weeks now and it’s made SUCH a difference in my skin texture plus I’m rarely having any breakouts. I do think the cleanser can be a little drying though, especially if you’re using other prescriptions with it, but I’ve slowly gotten used to it now. Hope that helps! 🩵

If it’s dry like that and looks irritated it’s definitely compromised your barrier!! Stop the mandelic and cut the cleanser back to twice a week

I tried looking at your video from a week ago but I’m not totally sure what your full routine was before or how quickly you switched over. mandelic acid is still an active, so I’d usually start just 1 to 2x a week and slowly build up instead of jumping straight into daily use. this could be purging, but with the flaking and dryness it also looks like your skin barrier might be really irritated. I’d honestly go back to basics for a few days: gentle cleanser, lots of hydration, moisturizer, and SPF, and avoid actives/fragrance until your skin calms down. avene, LRP, vanicream, cerave have some really good options. then if your skin feels normal again, you can slowly reintroduce the mandelic acid + see how it responds.

This happened to me too! I stopped the entire routine for abt a week or 2 to let my skin breathe… started using my normal routine w the mandelic acid and SO much better now! I honestly think the moisturizer or cleanser broke me out so bad

The cleanser and moisturizer have pore clogging ingredients according to the acne clinic NYC pore clogger checker. My skin went crazy using those 2 products but I still use the serums and cleansing balm
