ok, i'm confused here...when i put on BP until my fingers no longer gently glide on my skin - all looks well - i wait 10 minutes or so then put on my moisturizer in the same fashion - problem is that around my jaw line, mouth and eyebrow area the product seems to "ball up" - i don't think this is dead skin - just seems like product not absorbing?

is this flaking? or something else? can it be avoided?

Hmmm depending what you are using. Usually if you use a bp cream then apply moisturizer it balls up because the moisturizer mixes in with the cream and causes a white residue stick with the gel that is best. And also a cheap moisturizer will do this too. Make sure you are using a good moisturizer Eucerin skin renewal is very good, neutrogena and some ppl like cetaphil make sure you wait atleast 10 mins before apply the moisturizer. That way the bp is all absorbed into the skin and you put moisturizer on and it shouldnt ball up good luck.

The bp gel is balling up!? That is the first I've heard of that. Hmmm.... Are you making sure the bp is all the way absorbed? http://www.acne.org/video.html

yup...just rewatched the video to make sure i was doing it right...but yes, its completely absorbed, then i wait 10 minutes and apply the cetaphil mosturizer and it balls up

i'm pretty sure its not dry skin flaking up because my skin is not dry (amazingly!)
