Hey guys, I notice that when I'm on the regimen, my skin is getting better. However, my skin is not that dry, so I started to only moisturize at night. Plus, I have no time to wait that long in the mornings since I have work. Is it okay to use BP twice a day and only moisturize at night? I don't have much sun exposure since I'm in an office all day btw. Isn't moisturizer a tool ONLY if you need it? I don't feel like I need it in the mornings. My skin has been really oily these past 6 weeks, but I started taking zinc and fish oil, and the oilyness of my skin decreased dramatically in less than a week. Also, when I don't use moisturizer in the morning, my face doesn't feel as oily as it does when I do use moisturizer. Does anyone have any responses to my questions? Much appreciated. Thanks!

umm i would keep using moisurizer twice a day. technically, you dont have to, its not like anyone can force you to do anything, but you have a better chance of getting the best results when you follow the regimen exactly. i dont really think its a good idea, especially since BP is really harsh on your skin. it MIGHT also be the moisturizer, though, cuz when i was on the regimen, the acne.org moisturizer kind of just sat there on my face and made it shiny.

You will get to a point where you can apply BP at night and Moisturize in the morning!

My suggestion is to not mess around with the regimen until you are completely clear. Follow it exactly and once you are clear, you can then start to experiment with adjustments to work out what works best for you. If you start adding or subtracting steps now, and if in a few months you arent clear, how will you ever know if removing moisturiser caused you problems?
