I wouldn't discontinue using BP...just lessen what you use. I literally use a tiny dime size amount twice a day, and my skin isn't dry. I can't believe acne.org recommends a finger length...that's WAY too much.

I did find this when I was using acne.org, 100%. I actually got chemical burns from using the recommended amount of BP. Red, raw, burning, hot. Looked and felt like a sun burn. Took me a few weeks to get my skin back to normal.

I agree with klessard, I used to use a lot of BP to until I realised it might be to rough for my skin... Although it does keep my skin 95% clear but as a major side effect I get red skin, which is pretty normal even after using it for a year... 
Now I use less BP and my skin is perhaps not as red and irritated as before but instead I might be not as clear.  

I think BP is amazing to fight acne, but to maintain a clear and beautiful skin, im not so sure. I will keep using the 2,5% BP since I haven't come across anything else that would fight off acne as good as the BP.

I still suffer from red and irritated skin, I would love to hear other peoples tips and tricks to reduce the redness.   

Yours, 
M

How did you get your skin back to normal?

I had to skip the BP for 3-4 days to let it start healing...just kept it moisturized and only washed it. Then I re-introduced the BP VERY SLOWLY. Having said that, I eventually stopped using acne.org as it didn't help my cystic acne.

What regimen do you use now?

salicylic acid is a better alternative for sensitive skin - i would recommend spot stop by circadia. i still use BP a high amount but only a 3-5 nights a week instead of everyday.

Unblemish by Rodan and Fields!

Ween off very carefully. When i stopped the regimen suddenly, my skin broke out so bad. Reduce what you use and then how often you use it. Definitely have a new treatment plan lined up so that the bacteria on your skin doens't have the opportunity to get out of control.
