Have used the regimen for nearly a year, but noticed that my face is more or less permantly red....started to get comments about it... what should i do?

Should i lessen the BP used or what? Be more gentle?

i still get 1, maybe 2 small pimples every two weeks, so i would say im 90% clear (with the PIHs included ):

any advice?

i've been on the regimen for 7 months and i have recently been having the same problem. for the past 2 weeks or so, i've reduced the amount of BP drastically. i'm noticing a huge improvement. i'm still a little bit red, but not nearly as red as before. and the dryness is getting better as well. if you try this, do it gradually, as you might break out from the change. i still get a couple pimples here and there, but i always did and sadly think i always will.

Try almond oil and joghurt mask! It reduced my redness 80% the first time I applied it!

When I started the regime I had my doses of BP all wrong, in other words, using too much, twice a day, because of this, my face turned orange, and since I only use the BP on affected areas, it looked worse.

I reduced my regime to using BP only every night, and going one day with a good amount of BP, the next day a bit less, then a bit more, etc.

Also, sometimes I miss using BP for a night and just use AHA, this seems to also help.

For me, after the mousterizer application mixed with jojoba oil, I find that keeping my face still as in, not frowning, helps keep it calm and less 'red'.

Hope this helps!
