jonny 0 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Hi Kel.You should try BP for a lot longer than just one week as your skin needs time to adjust. Suffering from redness/ dryness is very common and should lessen over time.Of course using a really good moisturizer can help a lot. As BP can really dry you out, i suggest using EURCIEN renewel face cream with 5% urea...this cream totally helps the dryness of your face, plus soothes the skin. I actually use eurcien as a base then i use Garnier's PURE A moisturizer to help tightening pores- even my skin completition, and this contians SA which works throughout the day.So try and go back on BP....but using eurcien after applying BP. Don't use too much BP (half a finger), start off with once a night....if after say 2-3 weeks you see no improvement then maybe use it twice a day. However if only using it once a day/ with eurcein still cause redness/ dryness then you know BP is reacting badly to your skin...so see your doctor.Its simply a case of trail and error, something i'm always doing.
