My face looks like it's severely sunburned every time I do the regimen. I apply 1 pump bp twice a day and tried to lower it but still was red. I use jojoba oil, cetaphil, and also aveeno postively radiant with spf 30. I'm on week 4 of the regimen.  Will the redness and burning go away? I am attaching a picture with the post. Thanks in advance for the help.

The redness and burning will subside. It worked that way for me as well.

If it feels very uncomfortable you can always add more moisturizer throughout the day.

Hello it seems you might be allergic to one or more ingredients in the products you're using on your face. This happened to me andmy dermatologisttold me I have Rosacea.I actually found out by accident when I went to the dermatologist for a different reason and he took a look at me and said I have Rosacea. But I could be wrong! My body is very sensitive & so is my skin. I only use Cetaphil Cleanser & Cerave Moisturizing Cream on my face now & it works perfectly A simple regiment & I do get compliments now. Please see a dermatologist. It's very important that if this continues the way it does it will only make matters worse & I'm telling you from experience. I only decided to become a member of this forum because I saw your face & read your post & wanted to give my input. Hope this helps!

The redness she experienced is very typical for the early weeks of the Acne.Org Regimen. I think a derm would agree.

I'm on day nine and... holy hell... the burning and the red face is getting unbearable. This week I did increase the from a pea size amount of BP to the top third of my finger (if that makes sense). So it may just be my skin adjusting to the increased amount. But the last few applications have left my skin feeling like it's on fire. During the day I feel sunburnt, but tonight I actually look sunburnt. And no I haven't been in the sun... it's from the regimen. How long does this last? Or do I need to decrease the amount of BP I use? Or maybe only use it once a day?
I wasn't brave enough to apply BP tonight incase it got worse. I just cleansed and moisturised as per usual. 🙁
