I have been using the regimen for well over a year now with great success. I had mild acne before and after an initial period of very dry skin using BP, my skin adjusted and cleared up. I initially used one pump of face wash twice a day, BP twice a dayand cetaphil moisturiser. I also had jojoba oil for the start when things were very dry and use AHA every few days. In the past few months I cut down to only using BP once a day as I didn't need it. This had no ill effect.

So in the last few days my skin has suddenly become very dry. It was previously oily and I would sometimes have to blot oil during the day to avoid shine. But today I have slathered on cetaphil and jojoba oil and it's still dry. Nothing in my routine, diet or lifestyle has changed and it is summer in the UK so it is not cold.

I have read about thyroid issues causing dry skin but I know I have an underactive thyroid and am already on mediciation which is correct. Moreover when my dosage has needed changing in the past I've been depressed and unable to sleep and I am fine now :).

So I have no idea what has caused this or what to do. I didn't use BP in the last 24 hours because my skin feels too dry to tolerate it but I don't know what I should do and I don't want to get spots again from not using it. Has anyone experience this?
