The labels are printed so it's just a matter of getting them applied to the tubes. This requires sending them out and takes 2 and a half weeks. Then we'll send them to get filled. Filling can take a while too because our filler are sticklers for quality every step of the way. But the ball is most definitely rolling. Believe me, I want this as much as anybody. I'm running out of my sample! It’s coming along. The labels are printed so it’s just a matter of getting them applied to the tubes. This requires sending them out and takes 2 and a half weeks.

I chill the DKR face wash, BP, and moisturizer. I also only use cold water. I've found this to be wonderful for clearing up acne and red spots. I've only been doing this for about four days and have found immediate and unusually obvious results. I've been on your regimen since early June 2007 and this is by far the most effective it's ever been. Hey Dan, I’ve taken this a step further. I chill the DKR face wash, BP, and moisturizer.

I reccommend you do this as an evening regimen after you have cleansed and toned your skin. In the am try cleansing, toning, an AHA/BHA serum, and an oil-free spf which should also serve as a light moisturizer. Visit an esthetician for facials. They can customize a treatment program to help reduce future break-outs. Icing the skin first ( not to the point of frozen, just cold) and then applying cold BP does work.

BP is an oxidant and reduces organic material, in this capacity it is an effective biocide and antibacterial. As an oxidant it also acts as a bleaching agent on organic material, for example a concentrated solution will oxidise your skin and give a resulting white appearance. Peroxides are widely used in facial and "other" "Bleaching Creams". A 2.5% concentration of BP will irritate some skin producing redness and irritation while other skin will show no signs of irritation. No two skins are exactly alike!. Whats important and is often a mitigating factor in facial skin irritation is the cleansing process prior to application of BP. Harsh detergents, high pH soaps and some micro abrasive exfoliating "beads" often do more harm than good. While using these products may make your skin feel cleansed and fresh there is often a feeling of tightness and associated dryness with occasional minor irritation. Applying BP onto your skin in this condition will increase the chance of irritation and inflamatation. I suggest using a gentle neutral or slightly acidic non-soap/detergent facial cleaning product first and rinsing thoroughly with CLEAN TEPID or cool water so no traces of the cleaning product remain on your face. Apply BP sparingly (cooled, refrigerated, if you like) to outbreaks and don't overuse! Good luck!
