Hello again, Kiara! Too orange-y for crows!

Glad you're doing a log - love your loopy lingo.

So, er, yeah, if the BP cleared you up before it'll do so again - the problem you had I expect is due to whatever other products you were using. Are you using Dan's BP? If not, you should switch to that stat!

Anyway, good luck to you, and I hope the redness goes and you're 100% clear again soon.

Hi,
I read through your log here, and I think the best thing you can do is get back to the very basics of the CSR and do it religiously without any additional products.
Reread the CSR instructions, watch the videos, and be very diligent and very gentle.
Also, check your facial cosmetics (makeup foundation, blush, powder etc.). These things can cause problems often enough. If you must wear them, be sure they are oil-free and non-comedogenic. If you need help with makeup, give me a holler or visit our makeup forum.

I think that the lotion might be clogging your pores, you don't have spf, and many other factors.

[No I'm Amy]

I hope that you can switch to a 2.5 %- maybe Neutrogena. It's a little expensive but more gentle. By the way, Dan's BP is for ordering. I don't know if you could or not. I'm thinking of getting a paypal account if I can to get it.

Switch moisturizers and ask someone in the CSR forum for help since you live in the UK, right? I don't know if that's what you said.

Get help with your concealer. It seems to me that concealer can clog pores.

[Paq12]

It's probably your moisturizer. You should use a lot less of it as it is probably cloggin your pores.
