According to Differin's instructions on application, it says to used a pea sized amount to cover your entire face. I was used to applying BP using the regimen on here, where you start using a fingertips worth, working up to a full fingers length of gel.

I sometimes find it hard to cover my entire face with only a pea sized amount, maybe I'm applying it too hard to my face?

Is there any pro's or con's to using more than a pea sized amount?

I've been using a slightly larger amount than pea sized to cover everything except my neck and my nose - I use a little bit more from the tube for those areas. Would this be okay?

I think it all depends on your skin... I think they suggest to not use more incase of irritation. If this is working for you, I think you should stick to it [:

Try to keep it as "pea sized" as possible. More than that will do damage and not produce any benefits. You would likely get more irritation, more breakouts, etc.
