To start off on a positive note, I'm 99% clear after being on the Regimen for seven weeks. My routine for the first month was exactly as Dan had advised (cleanser, BP, moisturizer). Within the first few weeks, dryness had developed but was expected due to the beginning BP exposure. However, the Regimen moisturizer with Jojoba oil failed to provide relief. Four weeks in, I was as clear as I am now and changed to a different moisturizer (Cetaphil cream) to use during the day and used AHA combined with jojoba oil every night. While this has eliminated the feeling of dryness, it still hasn't solved the issue of flakes. For whatever reason, these flakes are ONLY around my mouth area and can be seen after smiling or talking.

I have tried gently exfoliating using a warm towel soaked with a bit of jojoba oil but this didn't completely solve the problem. I'm hesitant to try any other forms of exfoliation in fear of irritation.

So with all of this in mind, my question is this: is there a superior moisturizer that specializes in eliminating flakes? Or am I still too early into the Regimen for flakes to disappear? Thanks for any help provided.
