so its the BP that is making us breakout?
No. The acne was already formed before you even started using the BP. If you think about it, BP is an exfoliant. As soon as BP touches your skin, it breaks down into oxygen & benzoic acid. The oxygen kills the acne-bacteria; the benzoic acid dries your skin, which causes it to flake off. This renews the skin & therefore brings the already formed acne to the surface quicker. It's normal.

Are you using the cleanser correctly, meaning gently cleansing for 10 seconds or fewer? Are you using it to remove makeup?
Of all products, the cleanser would seem least likely to break you out, considering that it shouldn't be on your face for more than 10 seconds.
Yes, I follow as instructed.. 10-12hrs apart. wash 2x daily.
I have been using the benzoyl peroxide along with the other products in the regimen for almost two weeks and my skin is being effected severely by the use of the benzoyl peroxide - my skin suffers with a constant stinging sensation and is very red. My cheeks are also quite puffy. The stinging and redness of my skin worsens each day. I'm applying over half a pump of BP morning and night as it recommends on the website to increase the dosage of BP by week two. Should I reduce the amount of BP I'm using or continue to increase the dosage as it recommends?
