Concerned So Far, Help!

The itching and dryness will go away with time. You're going to have some unexpected outbreaks that will pop up here and there, but it won't be that way forever. I'm on something like day 50, and I ca...

Week 1 Advice Appreciated

I went much, much slower than what Dan recommends in terms of dosage increases. I would keep your dosage the same until week 2 and then begin (slowly) doing a second application in the mornings.

Preparing For "the Regimen"

I would just try to get into the routine of washing and moisturizing your face twice per day. Get used to being kind to your skin. Change your pillow cases. Don't touch your face. Start the good habit...

Bp Causing Rough, Dry Skin

My scaly-skin finally went away around week 5 when I began adding AHA to my moisturizer. Hang in there! You won't have lizard-face forever.

The Regimen... Ha

Want to know why some of us don't have before pictures? It's because we're too embarrassed of our skin to get in front of a camera. That's the case for me, at least. I'm now on day 30. Although I am ...

When I first started, I only did the BP once per day at night and continued with cleansing/moisturizing in the morning. I started doing a smaller dose of BP in the mornings when I was into my second ...

Help Red Itchy Splotches

Did you change anything else in your life lately? New dryer sheets or laundry soap? It might just be random patches of ultra-dry skin that sometimes happen when the weather is wonky. Maybe some corti...

Redness, Flakiness, Itchy

@mainavidesu I'm on day 25 now, and I've also experienced the random pimples. They're mostly just little whiteheads that don't last for more than a day. I'm fairly certain this is normal and all part...

Redness, Flakiness, Itchy

I'm not using Dan's moisturizer. I find the tanning effect to be a result of the BP drying my skin and making it seem a little "leathery".

Redness, Flakiness, Itchy

Also keep in mind that your increase in flakes may have something to do with the weather where you live. This is a dry time of year for me (even before I started with the Regimen). We all probably hav...

Redness, Flakiness, Itchy

Like what Hope said, I don't think there's any harm in dunking your face in moisturizer throughout the day to keep the itch and flakes at bay. If it makes the regimen more tolerable and doesn't cause ...

Has the weather changed at all where you live? Are you applying BP once or twice per day? Are you using Dan's BP or another brand? Why are you only moisturizing in the morning? (I probably reapply ...

Redness, Flakiness, Itchy

I'm just about in the same timeframe that you're in (day 19 for me). I wouldn't say my face is red (it looks more tan than anything which is strange for me given how pale I am), but I am definitely fl...

Using Twice A Day

I started doing a morning application around day 10 as well, but I used VERY little. I only put a thin layer on my biggest problem areas. Go as slowly as your skin needs you to go. I'm still on a half...

If that's the only thing that you've changed, I'd say it probably is related to the pill. Which one are you on? Have you been on it before? Another thing to consider is that you've maybe changed one ...
