BP too drying

HI

 

I've been using the regimen for years now but it always leaves my skin very red. Even when I only use a small amount BP one per day and loads of moisturiser + jojoba oil. Is there anything I can do? I seem to remember reading ages ago that AHA is moisturising but is this true. If so can you just replace BP with it?

This is the moisturiser I use:

I've tried several others over the years but always with the same result: red skin

 

Thanks!

I found the same thing with the acne.org BP. My skin was red, raw and flaky (and HURT). They recommend using too much, so I'd recommend cutting back on the amount (and to once a day) until you skin is comfortable/back to normal. Then increase to twice a day, but only use a pea size amount.
