I recently started this regimen (about a week) the cleanser bp and moisturizer and my skin is very much worse in fact the side of my face which began with three dime sized cyst turned into a swollen extremely red hard patch (above and below the skin) with about 8 large pimples on top. My face is noticeably swollen. Where do I go from here? I stopped using benzoyl peroxide after some research I found this might be the cause. Should I stop the entire regimen? Are there any other recommendations on what I should do to minimize this horrible disaster on my face? Please do let me know!!

In the initial stages of the regimen most people's skin will experience breakouts. This is your skin purging and adjusting to the medication. So expect a lot of ups and downs...meaning breakouts, dryness, itching, redness, etc. I was still breaking out during my 4th and 5th week but I didn't stop because I wanted to give the regimen time to work for my skin. Eventually I was right and not stopping was the best decision I have made for my skin. Have been clear now for almost 4 years.
