Hey are you using a moisturiser? If not you really really should or you will burn your skin. Try applying moisturiser than BP on top, it's just as effective but eases the irritation loads. Hope that helps!

Hey, thanks for your response. I am currently using moisturiser albeit on top of the BP once it has dried (as per regimen).

BP does tend to make the skin more pale, therefore making the red scars and discolouration more evident. Honestly, seeing results from bp was so worth it when i stuck at it for around 4 weeks and continued, literally all my acne cleared up, discolouration fades slowly but certainly once spots stop forming.

Hey,

I have recently switched from 5% to 2.5% on the recommendation of people on this forum (had to have it shipped from US).

I am coming to the end of my second week and the redness/discolouration is still present. It isn't AS red as it was, however still a noticeable difference from my normal skin tone, more noticeable due to my chin being the only acne prone area. I have cut back but am reluctant to take a break and have to start again...

Any recommendations? When will redness subside? Is there a secret product that helps with redness?

Thanks!

Try using thermal water for instance avene thermal water spray directly at your face, in the morning. And then i hope you are only using BP at night, or else it can be too over-kill.
