has anyone else gotten used to BP, and then all of a sudden found their skin irritated by it again? I'm maybe 3 months into the regimine and my skin was finally getting used to it - it didn't burn at all anymore, or itch, and the dry skin went away, but over the last 2-3 days all of a sudden the irritation is returning and I'm getting dry tight skin again
I was on the regimen for 4 months but halfway through month 4 my skin also got really irritated even though the first 3 months my skin was fine. It wasn't just ordinary dryness, it didn't go away for weeks and it was like raised, scaly areas and no matter how much jojoba oil I slathered on my face, it did not get better. I was still using Dan's BP because I didn't want to break the regimen because i thought it would go away, but eventually I had to put it down. Within the week my skin got better...so the only conclusion I could come to was that my face had developed an allergic reaction to Dan's BP. I still don't know what it is because I am using Benzagel 5% BP as spot treatment now and I have never had any problems with it..so it must be an ingredient in Dan's?
I'm not sure what BP you're using and I hope I didn't discourage you...just sharing my experience! Have you changed the amount of BP you've used recently? Or maybe it's pretty dry where you live at the moment. It could be a number of reasons really, but maybe give it a week and do some jojoba oil face massages?
I think I might try reducing my BP to once a day. I'm 3 months in and it's beaten most of the existing acne and new acne's pretty rare now, so I'll just see how it goes.
I actually do have one pimple today but I think it's because my face is so irritated from this constant flaking!
Then again I could just give it another week and see where I'm at...
