Just finished my first week of being on the regimen, and after applying the BP and Dan's moisturiser, and even in the morning, where I just apply the moisturiser - I am left looking like I've done a very poor job with fake tan on my face. This wouldn't usually be a problem, as hey, who doesn't love a tan? The only problem is, it's only colouring certain areas of my face and I live in the UK, where Sun is a rare occurrence, thus making me look like I got a bit too excited with my sister's fake tan or something. My neck down is almost anemically pale (which I've been used to most of my life, due to my interests and lack of holidays), so this is a very bad thing for my confidence, when my facial pigment isn't corresponding with my neck and body. Not to mention, because I've been doing a seemingly bad job of applying the BP and I've only been using it on my typical breakout areas, it looks utterly ridiculous, as my face makes me look like a white and tanned Dalmatian.
Anyway, enough of the self pity and insulting - Has anybody experienced this? And most importantly, does it subside?
I've heard of A LOT of redness on this website, and I think I've even caught a glimpse of 'tanning' somewhere, but nothing has settled my mind yet. However, I still apologise if I'm attempting to turn on a broken record with this thread.
Also, I used my Sherlock deduction skills, to figure out that it might even be Dan's moisturiser? After all, it is an odd yellowy colour, and I still seem to be harboring a tawny pigmentation, even on my morning routine, which currently doesn't even involve the Benzoyl Peroxide! - I hope not though, because my face and Cetaphil DID NOT get on well, even before the regimen, and I really enjoy Dan's moisturiser.
Thanks
Hey, I've been on the regimen for a few months now. In the beginning, my face was very sensitive from the BP and looked more "burnt" almost than the rest of my body; I'm also darker skinned by the way. A week or so after that, my skin began getting used to the BP and felt less irritated. The "burnt" look went away. This should hopefully happen for you as well!
The problem is, it's not the burning I'm worrying about. It is literally tanning my face. Imagine you're pale all over, then you put fake tan on your face. Then imagine, you apply the fake tan badly. That's what I look like. And for a guy, this is a problem. I can't work out if it's the moisturiser or the BP, or a combination of the both, but either way, it's a problem right now. It would make sense if it was the moisturiser I suppose.

Hey man, I'm not sure about what you are saying but as for me my face is literally peeling off, don't know what to do, whether to stop or not

Did u find out what this was? Was it the Licochalcone in the moisturiser?
