I dont know if people have the same problem but i've tried 3 different facial moisterizer with spf, and everytime i put it on after bp it seems to dry up and makes my face look flaky. (My face isnt actually flaky just the moisterizer that dries up on my face). Anyone know how to fix this problem? i believe the moisterizer does not get 100% absorbed so theres that left over residue.

Yup, I've had this happen, and i found that applying moisturiser as normal after the BP but BEFORE applying SPF helped. I would apply as much moisturiser as I normally would, let it soak in for a while, and then apply a layer of SPF (Olay Daily Defense) even though the SPF I used was also a moisturiser.

The SPF would make me pretty shiny, but I just told myself "no, I'm NOT shiny, I'm GLOWING". See? Much better Anyway, doing this helped to stop the balling and flaking.

I'm completely clear now. I've maybe had one small pimple over the past 6 weeks. I started reducing the amount of BP once i was completely clear for about 4 weeks, and then just used trial and error till I got to the point where I found a perfect balance between clear skin and following the regimen in a reduced manner.

Hello, how is the moisturizer before SPF working for you? I used to use a moisturiser with SPF during my first try with the Regimen. Didn't work too well for me either.

This time around I am using moisturizer and sunscreen separately. So far, not much flaking just slightly dry but its only been a week so time will tell.

ya it's a lot better applying moisterizer twice. what i do now is apply moisterizer in two steps then SPF. I find it doesnt flake as much as it would if i did it all in one step
