Guest TylerD Share Posted March 22, 2005 Lol man i dont know if your just trying to be a smart ass or if you are serious. But if you are serious then yes BP does cause dryness ALOT!!!! Ill say that again ALOT!!! My face right now is so dry i havnt used moisturizer but im going ttoo start. If you are using bp u should deffinitely be using moisturizer man. FOOOOR SURE remember that lol. Other wise like 2 months into the regimen your skin is just going to fall off lol good luck bro peace.

Dan 621 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Dryness is normal and to be expected for the first few weeks. Just make sure to start slowly with the amount of bp you are using. The dryness should subside in the next couple of weeks. Eucerin Skin Renewal moisturizer is the best at preventing scaliness/flakiness and I highly recommend you switch to it after a couple of weeks on the regimen as well.

gesiting 0 Share Posted March 29, 2005 This is the first post I have ever put on any message board, anywhere! I am a 35-year-old woman who has had moderate acne for about four years, since going off the pill. I'm still curious about the hormones involved, but in the meanwhile Dan's regimen is the only thing that has worked on the acne. However, for me no moisturizer was enough to prevent the dryness and redness the BP gel caused. After a few months of trying less, ramping up to it, etc, here's what finally worked for me. Leaving it on, morning and evening, for as long as is convenient (1/2 hour to 2 hours), then rinsing it off and putting on that fab Eucerin. Rinsing off the BP may not be QUITE as effective as leaving it on 24/7, but for me it is a nice compromise between treating the acne and not completely ravaging my skin.If I see someone with acne, I have a hard time not going up to them and giving them the address to the website!Thanks Dan..

Guest virgo Share Posted March 30, 2005 I'm using Benza-Clin at the moment and it does dry out your skin, but I put lotion on after putting on the Benza-Clin so my skin is fine. The only thing I'm worried about is the lotion reducing the effectiveness of my prescription... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poi 0 Share Posted March 30, 2005 you're supposed to be comfortably dry when treating your acne with medications. It will ensure that you get the most out of your treatment.Smothering you're skin with stupid moisturizers just clogs your pores and takes away from the benefit of BP or whatever you use.~Poi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandolynn 287 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Gesiting, nice to see another "mature" woman on the board with me! The regimen works for me as well!Randy005, if you haven't gotten yourself a moisturizer, get on as soon as you can. Dan has a list of products he recommends to use with the regimen, check out the moisturizers and see if you can find one. This should make a big difference in the dryness. Good luck to you!

Dustino 0 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I am still very dry if I dont moisturize, and even a little when I do sometimes, and I've been using BP for 9 months now. Some people just dont adjust to it as well as others, my brother uses the exact same Bp as me and he doesnt even need to moisturize as his skin just does not dry out from it.
