I've used the products for almost 2 weeks now. I have a medium-dry skin, and I'm a male. After using the cleanser during my shower, I wait for 7 minutes for my face to dry but it gets super super dry and white things(flakes) start to appear on my cheek causing rigidity on my face. After that, Iapplied,benzoyl peroxide, and waited another 7 min, and it gets even more dry. After applying benzoyl peroxide and waiting for 7 minutes, when I apply the moisturizer, it hurts, and gives me a stinging sensation throughout my whole face. Is this normal? I don't have serious acne, but after using the regimen, I had 2 big red spot outbreaking, and it's not getting better.

Sounds like you are going through a rough time. Dryness and irritation is to be expected during the first few weeks into The Regimen but it eventually goes away. This is particularly noticeable when applying Moisturizer.

Use Acne.org Regimen products precisely as outlined and make sure that you are not using any other products along with The Regimen to get you perfectly clear.

Make sure that you are using 2 full pumps of The Acne.org Moisturizer twice a day or as often as needed to prevent dryness and irritation. You may also add in 5-6 drops of Jojoba Oil into the Moisturizer each time you apply it for additional moisture.

I know it's tough at the beginning but just be patient and you will have clear skin.

I had this problem at the start too - my skin is just sensitive! I would recommend pulling back on the amount of product for awhile. Keep your regimen going the same, just pull back on the BP

Yeah, I've been using BP only at night but everything the same. I've seen a tiny bit less flakiness. I'm planning to use BP twice a day after a few weeks so my skin get used to it. Thank you for the advice.
