Hi Nicole, First of all, DO NOT ramp up Ediduo, less is definitely more with this product. When I first started using it, my doctor (who I think is brilliant and incredibly knowledgeable with all th...

25 zits is quite a breakout while still using BP. Take a deep breath, start to follow each step exactly and hopefully you will be clear again in a month or so. I don't think the makeup would have ca...

I have really dark hair and eyebrows and BP turns them to a delightful ginger colour. I have to dye my brows dark again and I dye my hair anyway to get rid of the 'ahem' grey bits. I know you're a g...

Proactive would most definitely have caused your skin to be less sensitive to BP, however you will be using a lot more BP following the regimen than you would have using proactive. The dryness will c...

Because you have only mild acne and as you're so young, I would suggest you don't try the regimen just yet. Try more gentle treatments before using BP. Perhaps ask your parents to take you to a doct...

Oh wow, this thread is a blast from the past. I forgot I had even recorded a time frame....how handy! I never ever want to go through that second week again.....it was awful! vernice, I agree that ...

No I'm not experiencing the same thing as you while on Epiduo. My skin looks and feels really good, smooth, no dryness and soft to touch. I did follow the regimen first though and the first 2-3 mont...

Yikes! Glad you took yourself off to emergency! I use SPF most days in winter and every day in summer but I live in Australia so a hot/sunny climate (even in winter). SPF is really dependent on cli...

Haha I had to google who Alex is. Never heard of the show but I'll concede that maybe the hair, lips and glasses are the same. She looks like me though, as I'm much MUCH older. Damn I hate it when ...

It took 9 weeks for the burning to stop for me. I don't EVER want to go through that again. Good luck!

That seems like an extreme reaction to only two days worth of a small amount of BP. It really appears like you're allergic to BP and I would advise that you stop using it

Definitely don't get over confident. Its usually the second week that redness, dryness and burning starts and for those that started too quickly, they suffer the most. No don't start over, but just ...

I've tried AHA+ for my chest where I occasionally break out and it helps to clear it, but I've not tried it on my neck. Maybe give it a go but dilute it with moisturiser and only apply every few days...

I found cetaphil to be the most moisturising out of everything I tried but Dan's moisturiser was the one that got me clear. Cetaphil helped with flakes but not so much with acne.

wash off your makeup using whatever cleanser you are using to follow the regimen. If you use makeup that doesn't wash off easily, some people use the makeup wipes first but they can be a little too ir...

Two tips I can pass on. First is to multi-task. Apply BP then make lunch, make bed etc. Apply moisturiser and eat breakfast, pack school bag blah blah. So in otherwords, while you're waiting for ...

It looks like we have a similar skin type, and epiduo has worked really well for me. Here are some tips/advice that my doctor gave me when he first prescribed epiduo. 1. Less is more - only apply a...

Moved to the general acne discussion forum

Yes, I reduced my BP application to night time only once I had become completely clear. I worked my way down gradually though, so twice a day every 2nd day and then twice a day every 3rd day and so o...

Give your skin a rest for a couple of days (eg no treatment just moisturiser) and then start again but with a lot less treatment, building up slowly.

it will take a while for AHA to help with the flakiness but what I found helped a lot was changing my nighttime moisturiser to cetaphil. It is a lot greaser and seemed to stay on my face better whil...

The trick is to work your way up slowly. Try only only one pump (or slightly less than 1 pump) twice per day, and if all is going well after a week, then increase to 1 pump in the morning and 1.5 at...
