Hmm ok, so definitely sounds like i had a purging reaction to using BHA for the first time. I got a TON of small pimples around my temples and cheeks where I never get them, but no real redness and they were gone in like 2 days and no reaction like that since so at least for me, it must have just been needed and the BHA really helped, since now it truly has been working for me after a few weeks now

[@luukim6248]

I got purging recently. Never get any pimples and now they appears on my oily T-zone just after I start to workout. So it is not only using cosmetics but also diet changes, trainning body etc, it start to detox your body, and the skin will have purging quickly too. I used the same products with ingredients with sacilic acid, PHA, teatrea antioxidant, benzol etc to heal all little cyst and breakouts. I also avoid over exfoliate as well

[@Tomoeine]

This happens to me too when I work out! I do everything I can to prevent acne at the gym: bringing a clean microfiber towel, patting sweat dry (not rubbing!), double washing. No matter what I do, my skin just wants to purge that acne out haha. I definitely think these methods decrease new pimples though, as a successful workout purge makes tiny papules flee before they become big pustules!

[@alifhakim6265]

did you use the somebymi miracle toner? how is the condition of your skin now

How long did your skin purge? Did it recover or did it last a while?

Treading is irritating to the skin and on top of that they used exfoliates which added fuel to the fire.

For anyone wanting Sunday Riley good genes but doesn’t want to pay 105$ they constantly have sample sizes in Their holiday kits. If you just use it as spot treatment that will last you a few months no need to buy full size and it works pretty quickly so after a few months you probably can just switch to the ordinary

my skin is really dry, and i have a really good routine going but sometimes when i go to bed i wake up with random spots on my face. and they aren’t breakouts it’s just a read bump that looks like a small zit. there gone by the next day but what do you think this could be?

Same thing happened to me! I started using it about a week and a half ago and recently added the retinol 0.5% and that’s been speeding up the purge 3x along with clearing up my scars. the sebaceous filaments I used to have started to come to the surface (trying to push out that grown baby fetus) but I think I’m gonna stick to these products.

[@caticopper]

It shouldn’t be causing purging. It’s pretty well known for having either great results or completely breaking people out. If you wanna know more about it, there are a ton of posts from people in the exact same situation on r/skincareaddiction

[@hijabee80]

I got breakouts from using it and was quite surprised as I had heard it was supposed to be great for acne-prone people. But I did some research and found that one of the ingredients in the serum made some people get clogged pores. Once I stopped using it, my skin improved vastly. So I guess it’s just suited for some of us while it works great for others. I wouldn’t consider the reaction I had from it as purging.

[@alyssaarchie8611]

I started differin a few weeks ago and I broke out so badly! I really wanted to stop using it but once I got through the purging I could tell that my skin was improving, just had to stick with it and moisturize more🤦🏾‍♀️

How long did it last

[@valeriarose5614]

When I was purging after starting Differin, the only two products that helped me keeping the purge sort of under control were Benzoyl Peroxide (killing bacteria) and Niacinamide (regulating sebum production and fading scars).

[@hotballin11]

So glad you guys covered this! I had dermaplaning done months back and I started to breakout on my cheeks(my skin had never done that) and it progressively got worse as I kept going every month. My esthetician told me my skin was purging. Well 4 months go by and I had painful cystic acne all over my cheeks and I went to a derm and he said I had an infection due to the dermaplaning. The peach fuzz growing back was getting trapped and he said even with the proper exfoliation it wouldn’t help it. I will never do that again!

[@BTG413]

Currently in the same boat although I only did home dermaplaning once a few months ago. Still dealing with the aftermath. 😂

[@Malenassaura]

When I started with my prescription cream (topical antibiotic + adapalene), my face got way worse than it was before (I had hormonal acne). But now my whole face is smooth and acne free. Stick to it and the results will show!

[@chickenbvtt]

when i broke out this year, i assumed it was fungal or irritation from using a facial sponge. once i tossed out the facial sponge, i still got the acne from time to time... turns out it was the cerave cleanser that broke me out and i wish it was just purging but i broke out for months. i never usually breakout so i knew something was wrong, i stopped using the cleanser and went back to my old routine, my acne finally cleared up 😭 moral of the story: if you have a routine that works for you, there's no need to try other products that are "recommended" because not everything works for everyone.

Sherine Shruthi hi lovely! You said 2 times a weeks and u already see pimples ?. If it works it means it very powerful also cuz only 2 times has started giving you a purge. Make sure you check carefully . Ur acne history and now is it the same... I don’t have lot of acne or pimples. I have black and white head in the past and little ones . And after 4 days using BHA I can see those pops up. You have to see what kind of pimples ,acne you have now?? Red? Itchy, Cystic? . People always says 2-8 weeks depend. Because skins cycle is around 1-2 months maximum. More than tats you have a break out. So please stick with the product at least. Or visit ur doctor to make sure ..

Remember, you do not want to use a chemical exfoliant every day. Your skin needs a break from it or you risk damaging your skin barrier.

Constance Cornejo Abarca no expensive doesn’t mean quality. It’s expensive because you buy the brand name and they make profits. A chanel lipstick is not different from a cheap drugstore lipstick in fact you find harsh chemicals on high brands most of time more than cheaper one. We just buy the name because we tend to trust even tons of them don’t work unfortunately. It’s just luck to be able to find what really works for you some expensive brands are useless and some are good same goes to cheaper one.. in the end we find ourselves spending tons of money and the beauty industry profits from women

Tea tree alway makes me breakout! I have sensitive dry/oily combo skin. I recently purchased some recommended Retinol serum but, so far, have been hesitant to use it in case I react really badly.

[@briannaking9203]

Niacinamide does not cause purging because it doesn’t speed cellular turnover. Instead, it inhibits melanin (darkening of the skin) and it regulates sebum production. If you’re using something like The ordinary’s niacinamide and you’re breaking out, it could be that your skin doesn’t like a specific ingredient in the product or you could be having an allergic reaction. Everyone’s skin is different. If you’re already acne prone, you could just be breaking out, completely unrelated to anything you’re using, since breakouts can take weeks to come to the surface of your skin anyway. It sucks but c’est la vie.

It’s as if you lot read my mind, and know exactly what I’m going through each time you produce a video. Thank you! 😂🥰

[@maxineng9855]

What about huge red pimple thingies? I've been having bad breakouts 2years ago due to an allergy accident, just started chemical exfoliating last year and recently tried the ordinary glycolic 7% and it's been clearing my face for about 1week ish? Then started to purge(?) I think? But it's red big pimples instead of white heads......

[@saraahmed-qm1pv]

make a video about rosacea. how to heal it and ofc products recommendation. luv u guys!!!

[@alishiakiiza6834]

Hi ladies! This video is many months ago but I hope you can see my comment. I'm darkskinned and get hyperpigmentation with any little pimple but thankfully I rarely breakout. I got the Ren toner to take care of the few dark spots I did have and I'm guessing I am purging now because I am breaking out but the breakouts are leaving behind even more dark spots that I originally had :(... Do you recommend I keep going and just let purging take its course or should I stop? Its been only a week

[@anniesetting1687]

Since I've switched to a k-beauty skin routine, I've seen ups and downs. I'll introduce a new product, my skin will be amazing for a few weeks - then I'll break out around week 3 or 4. So I can never tell if this is purging or product specific.

[@aussiejake4792]

The ordinary Niacinamide was working realllyyy well at first and now I’ve broken out with like painful spots. I can’t tell if it’s the niacinamide or AHA BHA chemical mask I started using or if it’s just my period because I always get these type of spots at my time of month??

[@reveluvsboba2290]

I'm using the ordinary niacinamide as well. I've been using it for a while now. And I developed these 3 painful pimples that won't go away. They're red but I can't pop them??. Is this the same case for you?.

[@anniieliin1]

I just tried the Paula's choice salicylic toner and my temple purged a little. I love the product but was nervous about that. Thank you so much for clarifying! What would I do without you

[@ace.error404]

after starting the Ordinary's Niacinamide and zinc serum I've started getting very painful cystic pimples. I've tried the product multiple times throughout a space of about a year and it constantly happens, causing me to stop out of fear that the product is causing these painful pimples. Is it a purge? Or is niacin amide and zinc really not working for me? please help a girl out!

[@YunoMe3]

I would say stop, purging shouldn't be painful. I've had the same reaction to a lush product, it cause horrible painful cystic spots. I stopped and it went away. I've just started using Paula's choice 2% BHA exfoliate and I've got some small spots on my chin and near my nose which isn't painful so I know this is just purging.

[@hemanshikumar2179]

[@addypark8497]

Hey well I have a problem/question: My nose has had blackheads on it ever since puberty, and it’s been a few years, but they have still not died down or gone away. I’ve tried everything from charcoal masks to chemical exfoliants or physical exfoliants and nothing seems to work. If I don’t moisturize to avoid excess oil, my nose becomes dry and starts to peel, and when I do it’s not too oily but the blackheads will not go away. Someone please help!!

[@narjejo]

Addy Park have you tried going to an esthetician? Perhaps they’re deeply rooted and need to actually be extracted

[@vlee7025]

What kind of chemical exfoliants have you tried?

[@addypark8497]

Makku Kuma aha, bha, lactic acid

[@makkukuma]

Addy Park did you try the popular paula’s choice liquid exfoiliant? I didn’t have a lot of blackheads but I’ve been using that recently and I don’t have any currently. Also, have you tried the Indian Aztec clay mask for it?

[@royceroman2049]

I purge every time i use a product that contains both AHA & BHA like the Cosrx one and now The Ordinary peeling one. But I dont seem to purge when using my Obagi Benzoyl Perox. :/

Definitely

[@softmochx4557]

yes

[@notanalien9041]

Not exactly. Most people with normal skin said it's better. But not for me because my skin is sensitive so chemical exfoliant is better.

when i first used paula’s choice bha salicylic acid exfoliant i broke out soooooo bad and my moisture barrier got damaged so i stopped using it after two tries :( i researched a lot about purging so i tried it again around a week ago with my moisture barrier a lot less damaged... i’m still purging but using a benzoyl peroxide spot treatment is helping so much! i recently ordered the ordinary niacinamide serum for my acne scars and i hope it won’t break me out 😭 gonna spot treat first ofc!

I have a hard time trying to read my skin ;_; I also don't want to buy too many products and then have them not work or do horrible things to my skin

[@glam_by_lydia8995]

What about The Ordinary's AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution? My skin was pretty clear then it started breaking out/purging (idk which). I used it once a week for about a month now. Every time I think I'm starting to heal I start breaking out again. Do u think this could be this product?.

[@jenjen9509]

Thank you so much for explaining all those stuff cause all this time I've always thought of purging as a bad thing and are so scared of it. Now I guess purging is a very good thing ☺☺☺

[@bjain660]

So It has been 7 months since my 5 month accutane journey got over (I had really severe acne). I used retinoids, Salicylic acid and other forms of exfoliators, products and treatment as suggested by my dermatologist. So my Question is- Will my skin still purge after I start using Paula's Choice BHA solution and The Ordinary 10% Niacinamide 1% Zinc? I am 18yrs old btw. Suggestions would be really helpful. Thanks :)

[@kaelaqt135]

if there's one thing that my skin ABSOLUTELY hates, it's glycolic acid. i've tried so many products with glycolic acid in it. /every/ product freaks my skin out. im so bummed about it ://

[@BeautyWithin]

Glycolic acid is def a very potent and strong AHA so it's really okay if your skin doesn't like it. If anything, you can try giving some of the more gentler AHAs (like Lactic acid or even PHAs) a try and see if your skin reacts well with that! Hope this helps!

[@morganmcclelland5383]

I recently started using the Cerave Foaming facial cleanser and I'm having little spots more than usual at the bottom half of my face. Could that be purging or should I stop using it ? It's only been a few days and before that I used the same cleanser for many years. This cleanser contains Niacinamide and someone here commented that they've had purging from it so could that be it ?

[@raulrajendra4053]

I used the ordinary’s peeling solution two weeks ago and my skin purge? But then last week i use it again and it still happens. I have never use any acid or peeling exfoliants or whatever. Is this normal? It’s really really bad. My skin has never been this bad

[@notanalien9041]

For someone that never used acid before and suddenly use the ordinary peeling i admit it's a brave move but also unfortunately wrong. You can't just use acid with such high concetration if you mever used it before. Just try different product with less concentration before and slowly build up to your skin to make it tolerable.

[@rensoriginal4241]

TO peeling solution might be too much for your beginner skin because it has high concentration of BHA and AHA. You should start with product which has low percent of BHA and AHA. You can try TO lactic acid 5%, it’s more gentle bc our skin also has lactic acid and you will get used to chemical exfoliation

[@raulrajendra4053]

@A normal person Not an alien do you have any recommendations on where to start?

[@raulrajendra4053]

@Ng Hằng it’s a chemical peel too?

[@rensoriginal4241]

Raul Rajendra it’s not peeling. It’s just normal chemical exfoliator

[@f4sx208]

For anyone that experienced purging from using TO Niacinamide 10% + Zinc PCA 1%, how long did ur purge last? It’s been a little over a week for me. I can see that the acne scars I had prior to using the serum are definitely fading but I am purging on both cheeks so I’m scared that my acne will continue to come out for more than 4 weeks. I use the Cerave cleanser for oily skin, niacinamide serum twice a day, cerave moisturising cream. Once a week I do a mask (clay mask by inkey list or cica sleeping mask by laneige) and i started applying retinol by Drunk Elephant once a week as well (i think this is also the main cause of my purge on top of not caring for my diet yet)

I started feeling like some burning, on the next day I had a new 4 pimples, theres pus and all!!! So I thought this might be 'purging' I think. And I will still be hopeful. I'd get through thisss!

[@honeyedflesh]

@@moonsol406 to each their own! Also fragrance isn't always a bad thing, some people like having fragrance in their skincare. It's really a personal choice.

[@moonsol406]

@@honeyedflesh yes definitely a personal choice i agree! but fragrance in skincare is an irritant for most even if they don't realize. they've done studies and tests on even natural fragrance and essential oils in skincare and found its only non irritating for human skin contact at less than 0.1which would be in the lower tier of the ingredient list. i believe having it in some of your products is okay especially when it's naturally derived (even though naturally derived fragrance like lemon peel and citrus fruits have been widely found to be irritating at the hypodermis). the problem more so comes in when you are using say a face wash, toner and moisturizer all with differently derived fragrances and the mix can be internally detrimental for your skin barrier even if it is not visible for years to the eye. your cells overturn daily so with daily use of fragrance and dyes on your face your cells are internally turning over with this information which definitely disrupts structures and doesn't promote cells staying healthy and youthful in the long run. even if you aren't allergic to fragrance outright you can develop sensitivities because our skin organ being exposed to those compounds consistently can reverse effects of some of the active ingredients we use. most dermatologist who looks deeply into different types of skin everyday for years would recommend fragrance or dyes. the overall dermatological stance is to get clean products free of fragrance at the very least even if you show no signs of sensitivity. even with perfumes which seep into the skin layers and expose our body to different chemicals that wouldn't otherwise be present has effects we don't realize. definitely to each their own and a personal choice though.
