mjk 0 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I've also had this problem.. I've been using it maybe 5 days now and it burns like crazy for 10-15 min after I apply it. I did a 'search' on this site and everyone says to ease up on the use of BP until our skin gets used to it. I've definitely noticed an improvment in just the little time I've used it so I'll try to stick it out and hope the burning subsides....

junkeroos 0 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I think you need a gentle toner that you can put before applying the BP or a moisturizer a couple of minutes after the BP has dried. My eyes however have been very sensitive since I've used BP. You can put on a sunscreen with moisturizer instead to save a step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frances 1 Share Posted September 15, 2004 some irritation from bp when you first start using it is normal. However your skin builds up tolerence really fast. But Dan does make a point of stating over and over that you have to start out with a small amount and ramp up the doage. If you are using other products like toners - you are not following the regimen and may not have the same results as those that do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad0707 0 Share Posted September 15, 2004 mine was the same but my skin got used to it after a while just let ur skin get used to it and make sure ur using 2.5% and not that much when u first start out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipperMan 0 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 I am using dans stuff ;-) and i am not following the regimen to a T i.e. i use a toner, but only because I feel i need to locse the poores on my face...it also enriches the skin and makes it look better, i put some moisteriser on today - it didnt help the stinigng, made it worse inface - but i used about 1/3 of the amount of BP as i used yesterday and the stining is greatley reduced.i also reduced the usage to my main problem areas, i do get acne in other places on my face...but that MAINLY only happens when i over irrate the skin with products...strange huh?u know - before i used any acne medication i would get the odd one or two around my mouth...i am hoping with BP i can reduce my acne levels to tolerant levels...stupid acne..grr tis evil.When are they going to figure out a laser treatment for this lol they use lasers for eveytyhing these days.

realangel 0 Share Posted September 15, 2004 mrc15 posted a thread saying he tried colorless aloe vera gel and it helped a lot with the drying, for me stinging is a side effect of the dryness, so ,maybe the aloe vera will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natalia 0 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Hi all ) I'm new here.Anyway I wanted to share a strange little tidbit about my experience with BP. A few minutes after I apply BP on my t zone(i have a blackhead problem I am trying to fix) I start to feel a heartbeat on my nose that lasts for a few minutes. This happens EACH and every time. Strange, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RipperMan 0 Author Share Posted September 19, 2004 lol weird...but we are talking abou burning here not heat beats in noses! :-PI am still applying the BP - new zits are STILL coming and its STILL Burning - so i darn't increase the amount i use...*sigh* i am thinking of throwing all my products away and seeing what my skin will do...I havn't done that in ages...and at one point in my history i was in a depression and didnt shower for like a week and my skinc leared up amazingly well - got blackheads, and skin was kinda greasy - but no acne )weird huh...well not showering/washing is not an option (differnt person than i was 2 yrs ago)but maybe i should just stop drying out my skin and let it do its own thing.DAN - how long till i can start using more of this stuff.
