Will It Work?!

I started The Regimen yesterday, however, as I am quite young, I didn't want to spend a lot of money on the products, so I found some of my own (cleanser, benzoyl peroxide and moisturiser). I got the treatment which is the same, but I have a Tea Tree Foam Face Cleanser. Tea tree is usually used for people with oily skin, but the treatment dries out your skin already. On the bottle of my cleanser, it doesn't necessarily say that its for oily skin, but for blemished skin. I was just wondering whether this cleanser would dry out my skin more and would it still work and help my skin?

any reply is appreciated :) x

Hmm - I personally wouldn't use anything with tea-tree as it has similar effects as BP. It's antibacterial and can be extremely drying, so with that and the BP, your skin could end up like Gobi Desert.

You need something that is labelled gentle, it's pretty key to the regimen that everything is gentle so that the BP can do its magic.

I second what Lewis has said. Here is an over the counter product guide for the regimen - hopefully you will find something that suits your budget on there.
