Acne.org Products
Hi all,
I am on my fourth day of the regimen using the recommended store brought products. I am experiencing the typical symptoms which are noted in the 'what to expect' section. However, on my cheeks I am experiencing a rash which I can only compare to hives in appearance. My cheeks have lots of litte spots all over them. I am not uncomfortable, just slightly itchy and irritated. Does this sound like an allergic reaction or what I should expect? I would really appreciate some advice.
Thank you all in advance.
You have to use a pea size of Bp and only at night your first week of the regimen. If you are, then I think that you just have sensitive skin. I also have a rash. I got it like three months after I started the regimen. I think that its the AHA. I am going on without it and I'll see if that helps. I also think that it might be the products that you are using. Are you using Cetaphil? It gives me a rash. If all else fails, you should get it checked out. I think that it might have to do something with eczema or rosacea.
Thank you both for your messages. Fortunately for me the doctor suspected I am slightly sensative to benzoyl peroxide and to use in moderation. The bumps have disappeared and my face is clearing up. I am guessing it was initial irritation as the doctor said the rash did not look like hives. I am continuing with the regimen and apart from dryness and mild irritation, all seems well.
Cupcakejess - thanks for your post. Yes, I am using cetaphil. Did you discontinue using it?

Yes, I use Acne.org products now. I just find it easier to buy it together than look for the perfect face wash and moisturizer in drug stores. It is so hard to find the right ones.
