Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone else is experience what I've experienced. To keep a long story short, I had been using all three steps of the regime religiously since 2013, and my skin had AMAZING RESULTS. I was so happy I was telling everyone about how great and how much I loved the acne.org regime.
In January of this year, ALL OF A SUDDEN, every time I would put on the BP step of the regime, my eye lids would puff up and be really irritated for a few days. I stopped using all other products and did everything I could to ensure it was in fact the BP step giving me this reaction. Its almost July and my skin has took a turn for the worst. It painful, super broken out in areas that usually weren't even prone to breakouts, and I'm miserable.
Has this happened to anyone else?! and if so, did you find a solution? I'd really like some light shed on why ALL of a sudden after 2 whole years, this just started happening. I would really love to start using the BP again, but can't if it gives me the same painful and frankly super ugly reaction. I still use steps 1 and 3.
Any response/advice would be appreciated!!
I know this is frustrating for you to be going through but it sounds like you may have developed an allergy to the benzoyl peroxide. Have you tried any other brands of bp to see if you get the same reaction? You may want to see your doctor or dermatologist and discuss what has been going on and get a medical opinion.
My eyes always got very irritated when I was using dans BP. Unsually when I opened a fresh tube. Its almost like vapor comes off into your eyes, red, irritated and teary eyes were always a result. I think it is because so much is applied at once and sites there before it drys out. Try applying only to to your chin, then your cheeks and forhead and see if the same thing happens. My just be the bp under yours eyes irrtaing it
