Our benzoyl peroxide is very potent but it should not be radically different from other brands. Most likelyyou are simply using more. However, the fact that you are on your 7th week and still that dry and flaky is a concern.

1. Are you moisturizing? How much are you using?

2. Have you added in AHA+ yet? This can clear up dryness and flakiness almost immediately.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the reply!

1. Yes, I'm moisturizing twice a day. Following The Regimen exactly. I'm actually less concerned with the dry skin and flakiness, but more concerned that my skin and face is still noticeable red and hot. A couple of days ago I decided to start reducing the amount of BP I'm using to see if the redness would subside. It's now a little less red, but my skin is nowhere near it's normal color and still constantly warm.

2. I have not introduced AHA+ yet, because I don't feel like my skin is used to the BP yet with it still being red, hot, dry, and flaky. 7 weeks in going on 8 in a couple days, I really don't know what to do.

Thank you for your advice.
