I purchased the benzoyl peroxide and began using it about three weeks ago along with a mild cleanser as suggested (cetaphil) and face moisturizer. At first My face was extremely dry, flaky, and irritated. My skin began to adjust to the BP after about a week and a half. I would see my breakouts clearing up and I was even breakout free for about two days, which was AMAZING! Now I'm on my third week and my skin is back to being extremely dry and flaky and the breakouts are back and have not been clearing quickly like they were before. What should I do?? I'm desperate!!
It's not uncommon at all to experience periodic purging during the early weeks of the Regimen, and for dryness to ramp up as you ramp up the treatment. Moisturize as much as you need to & you can even try adding a few drops of jojoba oil for extra hydration. Over the weeks the dryness will subside. Hope this is helpful!
