Hello,
I have been using the regimen for a month and a bit. It's been great and has cleared my skin up very well, however recently I seemed to start getting very dry and dark eyes and my eye lids also seemed to go dry and irritated. I always make sure I don't put the BP around my eye when I apply it so I'm not sure why this happened.
has any one else experienced this?
Sometimes BP can travel into the eye area over the course of the day, when touching your face unconsciously and rubbing your eyes. It's not uncommon. Use eye drops for dry eyes, and maybe try a drop of moisturizer on your eye lids to keep them from drying out. Otherwise, just try to be careful when rubbing your eyes that you don't accidentally get BP residue in your eyes.
This was happening to me a lot, one of the reasons I went off the regimen last year. It could be the bp residue getting in there and that is what I thought was my problem. But then I started to wonder if it was the moisturizer I was using. I was using cerave and was having a lot of irritation with my eyes (even when I didn't use BP with it). I recently swithced to the acne.org moisturizer and the burning/irritation has resolved.
Thanks for the replies both, I'm currently using less BP than I was before and I think the irritation is slowly starting to go away. Once this area is back to normal I will start to slowly increase the BP and see what happens. I'll post here so other people can see what happens.
