Hi,

I have been using the regimen for about 14 months and have cleared all my pimples, but over the last few months  my skin has turned noticeably red near my eyes, nose and cheeks.  The red skin is rough in texture.   I'm not sure if this is related to the regimen or not because it definitely wasn't this red after 10 months but suddenly the redness has started at a point when seemingly my skin would be used to the regimen by now.  After about 8 months I started using Glycolic acid, but only a very small amount.  I stopped using it once the redness started (even though I thought Glycolic acid was supposed to even out skin tone?) but the redness has remained. The redness started after I was using the GC for about 1 1/2 months anyway. I scaled back my the amount of BP I am using but it didn't do anything. I have attached some (crap) pictures to try and give you an idea.  One thing that is interesting is there seems to be a distinct area where my skin is red, as if you look closely in the crevices of my nose the skin is white and seemingly not irritated.  I should add that I am 20. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey, dude.
First off, i feel you and i can relate. I have the same thing: my nose and area around the mouth has turned red over the last 1-2 years and specially during last couple of months. Right now, I have to cover my redness with Bioderma Sensibio AR bb cream(recommend). That is the only make-up I use an im a guy.  :) With using BP and making my diet-holistic lifestyle better, im also done with pimples, but redness is an issue and i think it's from using BP. My issue is that i haven't moisturized after using BP.        

One of the things for me is shaving too. Even tho i shave like recommended, my skin still gets irritated. Guess it must be the after-shave products im using or the wrong moisturizers.  I tried to go with pharmacy ones, but i've jut picked some random stuff like aloe vera, Sudocrem(tho it's oil based) and also Bioderma sebium hydra(also oil.based). The last two i regret, lol.. I should get water-based moisturizer but im still searching for a good one.

To sum: check with your moisturizer. I think it might be the BP.
