Hey guys, i am approaching my twelfth week on the regimen. Almost all of my acne is centralized around my mouth (probably the worst place) . When i started the regimen i went through all the flakiness and dryness everyone talks about and that seems to have gone away. I am just putting bp around my mouth as well. Anyways, going into my twelfth week, almost all of my acne has disappeared, but it looks just as bad as when i started the regimen because of all the redness. I'm starting to think this redness is hyperpigmentation, because most people say the redness subsides within weeks. As you can imagine, having a red (sometimes orange because of the moisturizer) face is not fun to go to school with. I got some funny looks today as it was my first day of school. I really don't know what to do guys, help.

im half asian, so the moisturizer fit my skin tone really well, so idk what to tell you about that. :/ maybe switch moisturizers to like cerave or cetaphil?
but the redness can take up to 3 months to go away, so if you had good results acne-wise, id stick with it. do you mean like redness all over or like red/dark marks? the marks are hyperpigmentation, those take longer to go away

Well, i guess acne-wise it is better, it is like a smooth red area everywhere i put bp. I have always had really bad redness under my nose and i don't know if it is hyperpigmentation or not. I am 2 weeks from being 3 months in so we'll see what happens then.
