Avoid the sunbed, and apply SPF while you're away and you should be fine. Also make sure you wear a hat.....if your skin isnt used to the sun you may find that you will start breaking out due to swea...

I had the same but I just stuck it out. I never ever want to live through the first 5 weeks of starting the regimen again as it was so awful, but I'm glad I pushed through the pain because just sudde...

Once my skin had adjusted to the BP, I found that I would wear makeup just fine over the top of the treatment (just had to wait a bit longer for the moisturiser to soak in before applying foundation)....

I had incredibly dry skin prior to starting the regimen. If I didn't apply moisturiser within 30 seconds of drying my face after a shower, my skin would start peeling. But to be honest, now that I h...

After 1.5 years following the regimen, I switched to epiduo. Still contains BP but I manage to stay clear using this product once a day around 4 days a week.

I think that its so personal with what works for the individual. I had a lot of luck with cetaphil, but others hate it.

The first 4 weeks or so are hell for most people (myself included), but as lilly has mentioned above, if you're following the steps exactly, are consistent and persistent it will start to get better. ...

I would apply after you shower in both instances.

I would look for alternative moisturiser options to incorporate with jojoba oil. Good luck! It must be so annoying to find issues with getting back on the regimen when it was so successful for you i...

The burning sensation is awful isn't it, and it's something I don't miss for one second. Hang in there!

I'm not quite sure what to make of your thread, but I would like to take the time to respond to some of your accusations. You are saying that 'assistants' of this site promote acne.org products and ...

Don't let your excitement and impatience get the better of you. If you go too quickly you will just chemically burn your face and set yourself backwards for a month. In the first month it's not abou...

I've moved this thread to the Regimen Forum. 4 weeks is still early days for your skin to adjust to the BP, however if your skin is not red, itchy, burning etc and all you're experiencing is dryness,...

Done.

I don't know about the medication that you're taking, but I know that if my boyfriend takes berocca (vitamin B drink) I can smell it through his pores the next day. Maybe ask a family member if they ...

Getting acne where you normally haven't had it before is yet another normal reaction for some people. It really sucks, and I'm sure its really discouraging, but you've just got to hang in there. Mak...

Moved subject to 'general acne discussion'.

It's around the 3 - 4 week mark that people start to get frustrated and give up. It's usually at this stage that people's skin is really reacting badly to the BP too, with dryness, redness and burnin...
