Hey everyone, my order of The Regimen just came in today, and it says that during the first week you should only apply it once per day. Well my skin has never been sensitive to anything, at the moment I use 5% BP cream mixed with 1% Clindamycin and at night I use Differin 0.1% and I used Retin A before Differin, and I never had any dryness or itchyness or peeling or anything with these creams. Should I still only use the Regimen once a day for my first week? I'm probably going to use it for my first time tonight instead of waiting until tomorrow morning, would that be ok?

I think doing the Regimen nightly for the first week is a better idea than daily anyway, because it means less sun irritation as well as less BP run-off if you sweat during the day.

For me personally I had to jump into 2 pumps a day right away. Any amount less then 2 pumps would break me out.

Be sure to moisturize and jojoba oil your skin.

Alright thanks for the response!

Alright! Well I haven't gotten any jojoba oil yet, didn't really plan on using it at all to be honest. Would I need it or is it just a little something extra?

There is no point in going fast. Just ease yourself into the regimen and follow the instructions exactly.

My skin is completely used to BP, but after I dropped it to applying once a day and then went back to applying twice per day, my skin again got red and irritated.

Go slow and you won't have anything to regret.

Oh and jojoba oil is definitely an 'extra' and not necessarily required if you find your skin isn't becoming excessively dry.

Good luck!
