I started off wrong somebody please help.. What should i do..????
Stop using BP until your skin has returned to normal, that could take up to a week, depending on how dry/irritated your skin is right now. Keep using the cleanser and moisturizer in the meantime. Then add BP again and build up slowly. You'll be fine, no worries. Good luck!

Alright thanks so much!
You're welcome! And let us know how it goes!
I made the same mistake too when I started the regimen!! And I was using 5% BP so that just about drove me insane. I stuck to the full amount but I switched to 2.5% during my second week. The first 4 weeks were terrible. I stuck with it but I was pretty much uncomfortable the whole day.
Take AKL's advice and start slow. If I had to do it again, I would definitely do it that way. Good luck!!
