Hi Guys,
During the initial weeks of the Regimen - when the skin may be very dry, is there any harm in applying moisturizer more than twice per day?
I find my skin is fine for a while in the morning, but gets very dry by the afternoon.
Just wondering what other peoples experiences are with this.
Thank you,
Nigel
Totally fine to moisturize more than twice a day! It's very important to keep your skin as in balance as possible as you start gradually ramping up the dosage to help prevent irritation-related breakouts, so if your skin needs extra moisturizer then go for it. You could also try using 3 pumps of moisturizer instead of two....and/or adding a few drops of jojoba oil to your moisturizer for additional hydrating power. But getting up to the recommended dosage is critical in order to get the best possible results. Just be sure you go slow...it can take 3-4 weeks to be at the full two pumps of treatment. Building in an AHA+ moisturizer is also an option after the 4-week mark.

Good luck on your Regimen journey!
