Unless you have severe, widespread, and scarring acne, The Regimen is normally my suggestion for the most effective acne treatment.

Hello, I am a user of BP for about 5 years, and it has done me wonders, like it has to other people.

I am asian, have combination skin, and my acne started when I was 14 and is still under-going.

When I don't use BP, my face starts breaking out, which makes me think that I will have to deal with life-time acne, which drives me crazy sometimes, but I learnt to deal with it.

 

Anyways, the problem is, I purchase from Korea, and If I buy 8 oz, I can probably use only 1.5 - 2 weeks.

The reason is, it loses its effect. One day, despite my regular use of BP, my face broke out and didnt get cleared for long.

I had no idea why; I then decided to use a new one, and it worked again.

From then on, I could differentiate the smell of effective BP and an ineffective one(only 2 weeks after!!) : The smell isnt as intense and applying it near my eyes isnt stimulating enough for me to get teary-eyes(I tend to cry if I apply it near my eyes).

So, its been already more than 2 years since I had to throw out 2-week-used ones, which were nearly almost full.

Do you know any reason??? Now I am trying to store it in my fridge, and have to see if it lasts until emptied....

I really feel like I am wasting my money..

Please kindly help me to have a solution on this issue Yesterday, I opened a new one, and I already have to prepare to purchase more bottles considering the delivery lead-time.....

 

Thanks very much for your time!

Sorry to hear that. I have never really followed the Acne.org expiration dates. I had one that expired October 2014 but continued using it till January 2015. I had no issues with it not working even though it was "expired". Probably it could be a hormonal issue? That is usually a big factor for me with my acne and it randomly comes and goes.
