I start using peasize of bp every night and today is my 4th day. But ever since the 2nd i noticed my face was swollen. It doesn't look like a severe allergic reaction. But it does make my face look like i gained weight or it looks my face look fatter. Does this usually happen or am i allergic to it?
Hi Homer1225,
Thank you for contacting us. I'm sorry to hear about your skin.
Allergies to Benzoyl Peroxide are extremely rare. Symptoms may include,severe swelling and crusting but it should not be mistaken for the "hardening effect" from The Regimen. Basically this is a period where the skin adjusts to the Treatment. Symptoms of the hardening effect may include itching, dryness, flakiness and even redness. The hardening effect does not last very long and it should gradually decrease within 2-4 weeks.
To remedy the hardening effect, we would recommend that you use the Moisturizer as instructed on our site. The Moisturizer is specially formulated to soothe and calm your skin. You may also add a few drops of the Jojoba Oil to the Moisturizer for added hydration.
