Alpha H Liquid Gold. Too 'strong'?

[Germgirl]

I've recently overhauled my skincare routine & have included an acid toner. I was using the FAB pads but read on here & several other places that the best one is the AH liquid gold, so I bought that. It arrived on Friday so I used it Friday night at bedtime after double cleansing. Nothing on top as recommended.
My face felt a bit sore but was lovely and soft the next morning.
Saturday night I did my 'old' routine with double cleanse, FAB toner & LRP night cream and then last night did the cleanse + liquid gold again.
Again my face felt sore after using it but that wore off in 10 minutes.
Today though my face is bumpy & red. I look burnt!
Is AH too strong? Should I maybe only use it once a week or so?
I really want to persevere with it as I've read so many good reviews.

Every other night is (I think) too much for a lot of people. Take it down to twice a week and you should be okay if you've not had a reaction to glycolic in the past.

Liquid Gold isn't an acid toner and shouldn't really be used every day. It is more like a treatment.

If you were having luck with your pads, I'd go back to them or look at the REN or Pixi ones which are mild enough to use every day.

Yes, would only use twice a week, 3 x maximum

Thanks. I might lay off all toners etc till my face settles
I have some LRP cicaplast B5 stuff. Is that good for soothing my poor bumpy face?

I alternate it with their micro cleanse wash with no problems as yet, but I do also use a 50SPF moisturiser every day.

Yes I use a 30spf every day (and never go out in the sun!)

Cicaplast is lovely, should be just what you need. Never used Liquid Gold but do acid tone daily and use a peel once a week - you need to work up to the stronger stuff and every other day was prob too much!

I will just wash with water & use cicaplast for a few daysi think. Then I'll re-introduce the other stuff slowly :)
