dawniedawn 0 Share Posted September 16, 2003 I find that putting moisturizer on BEFORE the BP prevents excessive drying and gunking up of the BP. Will this hurt the effectiveness of the regimen? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RyanM 0 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Most people who've done what you've done are really impressed with the results. They say it works *better* if the moisturizer is applied before the BP. I would do the same thing (have a problem with bloctchy BP) but I'm too scared to change the order! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Elly 0 Share Posted September 17, 2003 This is what I used to do when I was using Benzamycin Gel. I find that if I moisturise afterwards, the BP starts moving around and mixing in with the moisturiser. Also, since I've gotten over the red dry itchy phase, the BP seems to be absorbing really well now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flippy 0 Share Posted September 17, 2003 i'm pretty sure that won't do anything because i interned at a dermatologist i fancy myself as a derm in training (ironic, i think it's going to be a bit more important to be clear once i start practacing in a couple years) i saw the derms tell people to use moisturizer after morning shower (while still damp but dry enough that it will absorb) it helps inflamation and to an extent (i think don't hold this one against me) i think may help the medicine penetrate. i'm not sure though but i really don't think it can hurt.
