[Routine Help] Skin can't tolerate BP any more - feeling helpless

I’ve had the same exact thing happen to me with BP except I was using the acne.org regime. My acne was mostly bacterial related and that’s why BP and antibiotics worked so well for me in the beginning. Antibiotics eventually stopped working and after 5 months of clear skin from the acne.org I started developing some kind of allergic reaction or contact dermatitis from BP. I feel like either I really wrecked my moisture barrier from applying BP all over my face everyday or my skin just developed a sensitivity to BP over time which I heard is possible too. My acne ended up getting so bad that I eventually went on accutane.

That was my experience, but I would highly suggest curology because it seems like they have ingredients that tackle the bacteria side of things for acne (zinc pyrithione, clindamycin for example). Maybe those alternate ingredients might help? Good luck with everything!
