[@jma.950]

I was about to freak out bc I’m getting random pimple popping up. First time I purge and first time hearing it. thanks for the explanation. (I’m using cosrx original toner pad and nacific whitening essence)

Explains it a lot better than other people

[@kritikasubbiah6412]

Did anyone purge while using Cosrx snail cream ?? :(

[@haurin93]

Lolololol Kate. I've used the BHA benton toner available in hikoco. Really kept my skin clean and breakout free when I was using it. Recommend trying it too

[@priyachowdhury6475]

I am using some by mi toner for a month once a week. Bumps and white heads all over my face no proper pimple is it purging.. but now Iam seeing 2 pimples. Should I stop using it or it will get better 😭?! I have just crossed tretinoin purging level... Now another purging.. I am getting depressed. Will it be okay?😢

[@sindhub13]

Veryyyyy useful video. Pretty much cleared all my concerns. I am currently using the cosrx aha/bha clarifying treatment toner. Can I apply a vitamin c night cream while using this toner?? I use sukin’s vitamin c night cream from my their brightening range. Please advise 😃

I have oily skin/hormonal acne(cystic acnes on my chin and jawline, cheeks are filled with few papules . forehead is clear ) I use SA cleanser(Cerave) for the first time without patch testing. My first weeks were fine. No irritating and any physical pain.Now it's a month, the whole face getting worse with more active acnes( chin with more cystic acnes 😔)How do i know it's purging or reaction ?

[@tresaannthomas6891]

I started using the COSRX BHA Blackhead power liquid last week. Upon the first use, I didn’t find any difference but on the second, I notice some bumps on my cheeks. They don’t look like pimples and are not obvious until you go close. I have closed comedones and blackheads. Soo is my skin just purging or having a reaction? I’m so confused. Btw, I don’t really have a proper skin routine. I just wash my face with the cetaphil gentle cleanser everyday. But on the days I use BHA, I wash my face with the cetaphil cleanser, pat some of the BHA liquid on and after 20 mins I put some aloe Vera gel. Can someone please help? Thank youu!!

[@HIKOCO]

If the bumps aren’t itchy or irritating, we suggest trying the product for a few more weeks! If it’s still persistent or worse after 8 weeks, it could be a reaction and we would recommend to stop using the product 😢

[@louisemerriel6103]

The same happens with me, I do get bumps as well. Is this because of the combination of bha blackhead and aloevera? are they compatible with each other?

[@tresaannthomas6891]

@@louisemerriel6103 I stopped using Aloe Vera after applying the serum. I just leave it after putting the serum on. Almost two months have passed and 90% of my closed comedones have disappeared. My skin looks much better than it did before😃 I did purge for about 3 weeks but trust me, it does get better.. My skin does get dry so that is when I dab on a little aloe Vera.. but I make sure not to use both together

[@louisemerriel6103]

@@tresaannthomas6891 Thank you so much. I was thinking that it was becaus of the aloevera. Do you recommend any moisturizer to pair with the BHA?

Hey. I would be really greatful if u could answer my question. I’ve been using some by mi 30 days miracle cream. It didnt burn my skin and I dont think I am allergic to it but after using it for 10 days I had lots of pimples on my forehead. I think my skin is purging but I am not really sure. Should I contunie using it?

[@remboesendharts684]

I tried it too and it made my skin breakout n did not heal in time,, i stopped using it afterwards

[@mariaangela1163]

Same :(

[@cami0742]

Bro same. I had three cystic pimples before I used the 30day trial. After I used the bar soap, it immediately soothes my pimples. I was impressed. But after a week, those 3 pimples did dried up but I got more pimples now, and they come and go. Some cystic some just tiny bumps. My face kinda itch too. I had less blackheads and whiteheads too, but the marks are just too many. I’m also not sure if I’m gonna continue, it seems to be working but the pimples just kept on coming. 😢

[@shehneelasutro3697]

[@cami0742]

shehneela sutro hey, I only tried the trial version. I get to finished it with acnes still on my Face. Hahaha. Ive been using different prod now. My zits are dried up. But the marks are crazy.

One moment -skin can't get used to anything. There are new cells every couple of weeks.

i have started using LJH grow tea tree 70 bha toner 1 month back And since then i'm breaking out or maye purging.i hv sensitive skin & AHA BHA toners has roken out my skin before but i wanted to give this product a try.eventhough i used it twice a week it gave me so many pimples! i also startted using LJH tea tree cream which i think is super drying for me & probably is doing no good at all.i don't know what to do now.this is taking toll on my mental health giving me depression! i used to hv single pimple once i a while efore ut started having hormonal acne for last few months before starting these products.should i wait or stop?

[@HIKOCO]

Hi there! If you already have breaking out experiences with BHA before, we reccomend stop using the toner immediately. Both AHA & BHA can be irritating for sensitive skin 😢

[@zulfauzan_life8327]

I have used some by mi 30 miracle day , that product gave me pimples , that purging or breakout? Please answer 😢

[@HIKOCO]

As exfoliating products such as the Some By Mi 30 Day Miracle line can often bring underlying pimples to the surface, it’s possible for these pimples to be a result of purging. If it’s still persistent or worse after 8 weeks, we recommend you stop using the product💖

[@justreallyshort7098]

Omg everything adds up now! My doctor prescribed acne meds to me and she prescribed benzoyl peroxide to me (not knowing I had sensitive skin), and so my skin burned almost every time I used it. So... no wonder it’s cuz it’s a retinoid😂

[@mrssarker8763]

If purging occurs do we stop using product or still continue it till it gets better?

[@mharzelcuspanio5025]

If you know it's purging, then just keep on using it. It will eventually turn back to normal

[@sanjidakashfi6115]

Then which Aha bha toner will be helpul for me? Like I have tiny bumps as Close conmedogonic and some fungal acne as well which one should I buy? Some by me? Or cosrx aha bha toner?

[@itsmea4289]

Same question

[@HIKOCO]

You might find more benefits with the Some By Mi toner, as it contains AHA BHA and PHA, as well as tea tree oil. The Cosrx toner is a product with a more gentle concentration for daily use! 💖

[@sanjidakashfi6115]

@@HIKOCO will some by mi aha bha pha will be to harsh as it has tea tree toner? As I have close conmedoginic acne and fungal as well

[@Amelidylle]

can you use an AHA and a BHA in your routine, on different days ? 2 times each would be too much ??

[@userone5735]

You can use daily 2times in one day.. Somebymi AHA BHA PHA (GREEN) its my recommendation😀

[@HIKOCO]

Our recommendatiom as well!💕 Unless you have super sensitive skin, AHA & BHA are fine to use day & night 😍👍🏻

[@itsrzaaa9182]

@@userone5735 i use that too 🙈 I have been using it for almost 2 months and my skin just wants to react 😆 I have never used any product before consistently,and its my first time 🙈
