Hi guys.
I started my regimen using:
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
5% Benzol Peroxide
Dermacare daily moisturising cream (of Boots, i'm leaving in London,Uk)
I follow the regimen every night, in the morning I only wash my face and apply moisturizer.
Because there are no 2.5% bp in Uk, I had to use 5% Bp for the first 2 weeks until the 2.5% bp of Dan's came from my amazon order.
The problem is that: this is my 3rd week but my skin still red so so much, not after applying bp but after I use moisturizer.?? Yeah I have tried to look in the mirror after using bp for 30 mins, the skin still looked fine until I used moisturizer, it immediately got red and irritated. My skin sometime peeling even I just use a small amount of bp (equal to the recommended dosage, even less).
My friends just keep ask me what happen with my face why it turn red bla bla.. I trusted the regimen because it works for me, breakout stops and no more acne. But the with the red skin I honestly dont know what to do with it?
Should I stop the regimen for a while? Or continue but reduce the bp apply? Can anyone explain what happen with my face?
Thank you so much for reading it
A bit of redness is typical but it shouldn't be severe. Please read here: http://www.acne.org/faq.html#burn

You can consider reducing the amount of bp you are using for now. And since you mentioned your moisturizer causing some irritation, please read here: http://www.acne.org/faq.html#moisturizer-sting
