Hey guys,
So after using the regimen for around 4 months, the redness and itchiness is really getting bad, especially a few inches under my eyes, which I don't even get the product near anymore. I put on the benzoyl peroxide near my cheeks and there is just painful burning at first and I get very red and it feels hot, and the redness subsides through out the day, and I'm not sure if I'm developing some sort of allergic reaction to benzoyl peroxide, or maybe dermatitis? I have some pictures to show, taken like half an hour after doing the regimen. You can see it's very red near my eyes, and I don't know why it's so bad there. I also have red dry patches on my chin. Even my eyelids and under my eyebrows looks red, and I have never gotten any product there!
I have tried using less BP on my cheeks, but it still burns. I don't want to stop the regimen because it has cleared me up a lot. I have noticed I haven't broken out on my cheeks or anything in a while, just on my chin, so I might be growing out of my acne and I should taper off, but of course I'm scared of having cystic break outs again like I used to have before the regimen. Does this look like an allergic reaction, or normal burning, or just using way too much? I'm using less than 2 full pumps, twice per day. If I use it once a day, I break out.

Hi lawrence1,
I'm sorry to hear about your skin.
Allergies to Benzoyl Peroxide are extremely rare. Symptoms may include severe swelling and crusting. What you are experiencing is irritation. Just to clarify, how much of the Acne.org Treatment ad Moisturizer are you using.
Our best advice is that you stop using the Treatment temporarily until your skin goes back to normal. Once your skin is calm begin using all three products but start SLOWLY using only a very small pea sized amount of Acne.org Treatment only once per day for a full week. By week two you may start applying the pea sized amount twice a day. In week three you can begin increasing the dose SLOWLY and by the end of week four you should be using the full 4ML dose of Acne.org Treatment. Make sure that you use 2 full pumps of the Acne.org Moisturizer twice a day or as often as needed to help with the dryness and irritation.
If you need any further assistance, please let us know.
I have the same problem but worse. I have only used the product for 4 months also, starting after Thanksgiving 2019. My skin was super flaky and dry around the mouth area which caused scabbing. Redness spots started to appear at the bottom of my chin, on both sides of my cheeks. My skin completely flared up with a reaction. I stopped using the regimen once my skin got to the worst point in redness patches and scabs, and started washing my face with warm water ONLY. and moisturizing with jojoba oil at night slightly. That helped my skin the MOST to get it to the best its ever been sinceon the regimen. One day I applied a pea sized amount ofBP just to try to reintroduce the products to my skin. Within hours my skin completely flared up again, itchiness with red spots covering my cheek and chin in the same areas as before.I do not have any allergies to anything which is one thing I know. Im left with full big size products gone to waste and want to know if I can get a refund.
