It's pretty normal for skin to get worse before it gets better. Oftentimes skin goes through an initial purging phase as the treatment brings latent acne to the surface, resulting in the proverbial "initial breakout." Just be sure you're easing your skin into the BP. At this point you should be graduating from a pea-sized portion (less than half a pump) once a day to a pea-sized portion twice a day. Do that for a week.Then go up to one pump twice a day for week 3. By week 4 you should be up to two full pumps twice a day. If you're using more than what's recommended for this week, then you may be using too much.
