I would like to seek your advice.. I just completed my 1st week of using the Acne.org regimen and i think it did work on me since I observed no acne has been formed in my skin after the purging period. However, my face is super mega itchy that I cannot seem to go to sleep and work properly. I tried using the moisturizer every now and then but after a few minutes, the itchiness came back. Is there any product which can be used simultaneous with the treatment that would help my itch problem? Also, my face looks sunburned. The degree of discoloration is sooo evident that my face looked like it was exposed to the sun for the whole year. Please let me know if this is normal? Could I use some foundation which will help with my discoloration? which brand will be very effective...?
Can I use a serum from clarins? I'm afraid it will have negative effect with the whole regimen.

I get what you mean, same thing happened to me when I first started using the regimen. But it is advised not to use any other product when you first start. Also I suggest not to use any makeup yet, it'll do more harm than good right now.
Thank you Oyinkan. I guess I will not do make up first. But you know what when I go to work today all of workmates told me that my face is swollen. Is it normal? I never notice it maybe because of the itch but then as I look closely, my face is really swollen especially near my cheekbones. Does anybody here experience the same?

Maybe you are allergic to BP. I never experienced a swollen face. When it itched, did you scratch or touch your face though?
When it itched I just lightly touch my face using my fingers. Last night while I was putting the BP in my face, I felt a slight stinging in my eyes. could it be because I accidentally put it around the sensitive part of my eyes? But then I felt like my whole face is swollen right now. Do you suggest I should stop using it?

Swelling isn't good, it could mean an allergic reaction. Just keep an eye on it and if it persists or gets worse, I'd stop using BP.
