I am using a rejuvenating set for 2 weeks and I am so worried about the tiny small bumps that started to appear on my forehead. Now, I know that small tiny bumps on my forehead is a skin purging. I actually thought it is breakouts! Thank God I stumbled upon this video.

[@nurulanisa6382]

Thank for ur explanation, now i know that i ate lot of sweets, and it made me breakout on my cheek. Now i just easily avoid sweets, unless it is in very small amount, i also drink more water. Within 3 weeks, only put on my face moisturizer/spf cream after ordinary wash my face, i can rid my acne and redness slowly.

[@d.s9798]

It's good to know I'm just purging. I started using a lactic acid cleanser and a salicylic acid toner. I'm purging in the areas where I usually get pimples and my skin is getting brighter and clearer. Dry plugs are coming to the surface. I'm usually in pain if I break out but glad that's not the case. Thank you!

[@gabriellee1378]

I found that I was breaking out when I started to see Nodules/Inflammatory Acnes and I was starting two new products at the same time, Aquaskin Sunscreen and cerave Retinol. At first, I thought that those were purging because of retinol, but after a month, i started to see more Nodules on my neck and cheeks, and realized that it was the sunscreen. I stopped retinol for a few days before to see if it was really the retinol, but after a week of retinol free skincare, I still get new acne and I can see more clogged pores. Then it struck me that the Sunscreen that is meant for oily and acne prone skin is causing me to breakout. It has been 2 weeks since the i stopped the suncreen and replaced it with Skintific Mist ultra light sunscreen, and the redness of the acnes have gone down, the the rate of new acnes coming out is 90% lower, and my skin looks healthier too. I also started the Skintific 5% Panthenol gel moisturizer, and it helps me face hydrate more. Sorry if I wrote too much, I just wanted to express my journey..

[@Reversely]

I'm exactly on my 1st month of using salicylic acid facewash, this is my first time using it and right now I'm pretty scared cause I have so much blackheads, whiteheads and pimples that I don't normally have. Today is early week 5, I hope this turns out to be just a purge and heals by week 6 cause if not, oh god no. (I rarely get pimples on my cheeks, its usually around forehead and nose only so I'm pretty scared especially cuz sometimes it scars)

[@shnmco]

I started using differin gel, and I’m getting breakouts in where I originally break out (cheeks) but I’ve gotten a few pimples on my forehead which I never get so I’m not sure if it’s irritated/breaking out or purging

[@eceyeldan6051]

I also using the same product and am getting breakouts where I usually get acne (my chin and forehead). I was confused if i was purging or not since its pretty red and big but not as bas as in the photos. If you are still getting acne in new areas maybe using it every other day would help with irritation, but if you are getting acne in places you usually get it i would say it’s purging.

[@ammashrurjauwad3063]

Doctor after watching this video i have understood that i am having breakouts because i am allergetic to niacinamide, i had used the ordinary niacinamide serum and after that i am having this reaction, my doctor has given me azithromycin anti biotic for my acne is it will help with this breakouts too??

Doctor, can I ask something? How long do acne scars last ? I’m using niacinamide and alpha arbutin for my scar. Also including hydrating toner, mosturiser and sunscreen.

Depends on the scars. One way to reduce it quicker is to use AHA or glycolic toner once every 3 days to reduce the scars.

[@AB-ir5kr]

Can adding a moisturizer for the first time to your skin care routine cause purging or does it only come from exfoliating products?

[@martinarodriguezferrando2105]

Hi I know that you asked a long time ago but maybe it still helps. Purging is only caused by exfoliating products, if you are experiencing pimples and irritation after only adding a moisturizer it’s most likely that your moisturizer is not the best one for you. Try to find one that is not comedogenic and is calming. It’s really important to moisturize your face since it helps with your healing process and makes your skin barrier stronger, there’s plenty of moisturizers that you’ll find are really nice and helpful!

Nowadays people don't really recommend physical scrubs as it can cause microtears on the skin (and then pigmentation) but chemical exfoliation like glycolic acid etc will help to exfoliate the dead skin cells...st. ives is a physical scrub.

St Ives isn't as bad as Internet makes it to be but with the advancement of exfoliators, we suggest chemical exfoliators like glycolic toner or salicylic toner as it gives a more uniform exfoliation without causing micro tears

Ur skin is purging

[@dcardigan13]

You can visit this korean skincare channel called Wishtrend TV to get an idea on what skincare product or ingredient you should add or change in your skincare routine to match your current skin condition. In my opinion, I think you need to add something more moisturizing and calming in your skincare routine since retinol has a drying effect (like most acne control ingredients), use a lower concentration of retinol, or use it less often to lessen the frequency of your breakouts. You can replace retinol with other acne controlling ingredients/products too, if retinol just doesn't suit your skin.

[@Brian.C]

Thats your skin freking out to new products after 8 weekes if it keeps going change

[@Kspachannel]

is there certain areas you are breaking out in? also, do you touch your face a lot? using retinol is an exfoliant so it makes your skin more sensitive to sun, pollution and any dust or germs that come in contact. If you are touching your face with unwashed hands, that could cause a breakout.

[@MomandBeanie]

When skin is purging, and then you stop the product causing it for a week (stopping on the 3rd week of purging, way before the purging ends), when you start the skincare again after a week, will the purging period reset? Like will it take another 6-8 weeks again? Or will it continue with the count of week3? (I hope it makes sense)
