I have just started the regimen on Monday, I use Neutrogena oil control foaming cleanser, could this be a problem? My real question is when should I switch from using my current moisturizer which is complex 15, to the Eucerin skin renewal moisturizer with AHA?

If you're experiencing irritation from the BP (excessive dryness, redness, stinging) then wait a while until those side effects die down a bit. I just switched to Eucerin yesterday in the 2nd half of my week 5. Basically the reason I waited so long was laziness and I never had dry skin so I didn't need it until this past week. I have experienced no irritation from using it in conjuction with the BP so far. Wait a couple of weeks and make sure you have no irritation then I'd say go for it. Your skin needs to adjust to the BP first.

Thanks for the reply. I just realized i didnt put this thread in The Regimen, ooops. I may and try to start a bit sooner maybe around week 3 or 4 if the irritation is not bad. Right now it is not bad I am just getting flakes like crazy about one inch above the ends of my lips, and not so bad other places, as much as I love Complex 15 Moisturizer, It doesnt get rid of all the flakes, so I wanty to make the change as soon as possible.
