hello again! a few more questions if you dont mind!
ok well it seems to be going ok, its been about a week, and my face does seem to look better, but i am still getting a few spots here and there, but i suppose that will stop eventually? my face is still dry, will this get better? but the main problem is that i get these dry white flakes on my face after i mositurise, and its really anoying because i mositure my face fully, face is fine, no flakes, but then during the day i look in a window are whatever and i see lots of white flakes!!! so ive been walking around with these white flakes on my face without even knowing! its terrible!, if this continues im going to have to stop becuase i cant ewalk around with all these white flakes on my face! do you know how to stop this? any reply would be great, thanks.

Hi! Don't worry about the dryness and flaking I was SOOOO dry at the start of the regimen and still had flakes after I moisturised but it does get tons better, just give it time! But to try and make it look better at the moment after youve had a shower try very gently rubbing a towel over the flakes to try and remove them, but remember be gentle- you don't want to aggrivate your skin!

And if your seeing improvement already thats great, it will only get better with time- youre lucky some people don't see results for months, and don't let an initial breakout put you off if one occurs in the next few weeks.

And that Eucerin moisturiser is great at getting rid of dryness, so once youve been one the regimen for a few more days I'd recommend starting using it (not too soon as it contains AHA and you don't want to over aggrivate your skin too soon before its fully used to BP), and a tube lasts me about 1 month aswell! Good Luck!

thanks very much! it makes me feel better knowing that it will hopefuly get better(dryness and flakes) in the future...gives me more determination and optimism! got to beat the bloomin spots!! i will kepp you updated!

Don't worry it will get better, even though I thought mine never would! For more of what to expect check out this page http://www.acne.org/whattoexpect.html. Hope it keeps on going well for you!
