First day of Benzac 5% treatment (acne)

I've used Benzac exactly twice now, I find that it doesn't sting my face at all. haha but it does cause your acne to have dry skin causing it too look flaky (cause the layer of skin has actually absorbed the acne and it's just a hard piece of skin now. I actually with out noticing scratched it off. And now my acne is flat but it is still red. But that success after only two applications. If you apply heaps like i do it leaves a noticeable chalky look.

How I use Benzac 5% (This may just be good for me, it's not for everyone)

1) Remove makeup with: Curash baby wipes (cheaper alternative works the same)  

2) Cleanser (using clarisonic mia): Nivea visage gentle cleansing cream wash\

    Night with: Biore blemish ice cleanser (salicylic acid)
3) My toner night and day: Biroe triple action toner (salicylic acid) 

4) Benzac: Apply a THICK layer to affected areas  

5) Moisturiser: Day: apply after Benzac gel is dry Neutrogena healthy defence daily moisturiser 30+ spf (combination/oily skin)

Night:apply after benzac is dry Estee lauder nutritious restorative night creme 

6) Eye cream: nude by nature, natures soothing eye cream ( more like a gel)
7) Then ready for further steps e,g makeup.

Benzac AC 5%?

I bought this today because my GP had recommended it for my acne/pimples. However he did not tell me how  much i was suppose to use... So i am just going to layer it on my affected areas, because i want this gone now. I am sick of how weird my skin is. This is going and i ain't letting it stay.

Although I know the consequences of doing this, I don't think i will have any regrets. As I have seen people do this on youtube, and this is the only way their skin cleared up for them.
Wish me luck :)

About me and my blog

HI!
My name is Grace Choe and I live in Australia and my age is currently 16, I decided to open a blog account as I have a huge interest in beauty products. I have a youtube account as well but I haven't gone around to uploading a successful video that is worth watching atm.
My interest are, Art, Beauty, Fashion and sometimes (when i'm in the mood lol) academics.
You may be asking yourselves why I made this 'blog' well i'm tired of just listening and reading thoughts of others, I want to get what I want people to hear and read. My blog won't just be about beauty products and reviews, it will also be about myself and in general life.
I will try my best to keep you entertained and happy with what I have to say and write.
Thanks for the time checking my blog out and hope to see you again.
P.S follow me :)
