I'm new to the Regimen, I'm on my third week and my face is burning and bright red. It feels kind of tight, but it seems like the moisturizer is keeping my face soft. I think that these side effects should go away soon, but do you think my face will stay red? When I was on Retin-A, I had such a red face, and after I stopped using it, the redness subsided. Do you think that while I use the BP my face will stay red, like it used to?
Im on Epiduo which is 2.5% BP and I occasionally experience some redness too. This occurred when i would over apply the gel and use more than i should... and when i accidently got some around my cheekbones on the thinner skin. My face is super sensitive to BP for some reason but over time (7 weeks) my skin is much more use to in. Give it time, dont over use, and apply moisturizer and you will be good!

I've been using Quinoderm 10 (10% strength) for 2 weeks and my skin has got better over the past few days, but it is also darker? Sort of like a red tinged darkness. It looks really weird, wondering if this is transitory? Should I stop using it/ decrease the amount I use? Or will my skin just get used to it?
