Ok I’m def purging. I’m on week 3-4 of the dr gross extra strength peel pads. Using it everyday made my upper lip and chin break out with big pimples. So now I’m gonna alternate every night with my Retin-A.. Thanks for the info!

Thank you so much for this!! We have the same skin type (oily, sensitive) but i'm also acne prone and i'm only 14.. I started trying the ordinary products because of all the hype it's receiving. I've been using them for 1-2 months now and my skin has NEVER looked this TERRIBLE. I used to have just mild acne (because i didn't really have a skincare routine lol) but now i have moderate acne and my skin just feels irritated all the time.. I feel like i wasted so much time and money trying out those products (specially because i use the allowance i get from my school since i'm a scholar plus the ordinary products in our country cost 3x the price!) I'll definitely try a more simple skincare routine with just the basics and my go-to products. I finally figured out that my skin is not purging and it's really breaking out.

thank you for making this video!

very insightful, as aways tina! Much love xx

Thank you so much for this very informative video! I’m quite sure now i’m having a purging from aha/bha serum, so i’ll stick to it 💪

That was informative. Thanks! 💗

For acne suffers this situation can be fairly common when starting out a new skincare product which is why you should test out a product on a small part of your face first for 14 days to see if the product is right for you. But more importantly, to really weed out any confusion between a product that may cause purging versus acne/irritation, look for actives. If the product contains actives like retin A or its derivatives like adapalene, BHAs like salicylic acid, AHAs, or vitamin C, chances are it’s more likely a purge which will resolve on its own over time with consistent use. But if it doesn’t contain any of those ingredients, then it’s not purging; it’s a breakout and it will not resolve over time so stop use. There are times when a product can have an active and an ingredient that your skin can’t tolerate, so studying your breakout as you’ve shown in your video can help decide. Following these steps should take out most of the guess work though. Hope this helps!

I think I am really breaking out because of the product I used. My pimples are bursting out of nowhere, I usually get pimps on my forehead or cheeks but it is scattered around now. And when I turn on the camera on sc, it can easily detect the redness in my face and my pimples.

I purged for a few weeks when I first started using The Ordinary 7% Glycolic Acid Toning Solution. I used to wake up to tiny little white heads. Mostly on my forehead. Most of the time I was able to just wipe them off with a tissue. The Ordinary 7% Glycolic Acid Toning Solution is fantastic for getting rid of adult acne. Over 12 months later, I'm still using it. And my skin has been acne free from I'd say two weeks after I started using it.

Thanks I think mine is purging stage right now. I used a snail mucin essence and I had breakouts on my chin, cheeks and forehead then I started using apadelene so purging stage started and then I needed a new sunscreen (cosrx alor suncream) but i'm still getting mild acne i'm scared if it's a breakout or still purging (it's been 2 months purging) edit : grammar

How to get rid of purging?

Hiya!. Great video im currently using the 0.2% in squalane and think i am perhaps purging. Not spots as such but little under the skin pimples not painful just not very nice ofcourse. Was this the same? Or anyone else? Also was your retinol in squalane like mine or just retinol x

Im using the same.I get tiny tiny whiteheads in some places,but mostly I have a colony on my forhead,some on my chin and a few on my cheeks but they are under the skin and are the same color as my skin,some of the ones that are on my cheeks get a bit red.It's all surface level and they don't hurt or anything.So I hope if I keep using the retinol in squalane it will go away when my skin gets used to it

Hi, I just want to ask if how many months before it minimizes your pores and became okay your face? Right now I am using aha bha products? Hoping you can reply ma'am!

Hey quick question,I recently switched over from clean and clear to cetaphil,and I’m got pimples all over my cheeks,chin and occasionally on my forehead,I’m confused if it’s purging or not because my skin is slowly starting to become rough(almost like a leathery feel?).

Omg. So whiteheads on my nose a nd chin area means purging?I never have pimples have a cleas skin usually but once a year sometimes i get pimples on those areas. I stopped using retionol but the purging has left me scarred. Like the pimples have gone but the red spots are there.and some continue to show up every once in a while.

I use multiple products every morning and night, so how would I know which product is the problem?

Have you ever used Niacinamide or Azelaic acid? Both of them reduce inflammation and help make the skin less sensitive over time. Also, there's this KZreadr/Dermatologist named Dr. Dray, and she basically saved my skin ❤️

@@adapv9584 Hey! To see if it is the cause of this reaction, I definitely think it's worth a shot to stop using Niacinamide in your case. The Ordinary's Niacinamide solution is 10%; however, the model shown to improve skin in research is 4%. Since Niacinamide in lower percentages is a common ingredient in moisturizers, I'd pursue a cream that has Niacinamide already in it if you wanted to continue application again. CeraVe's PM moisturizer contains Niacinamide and would be my recommendation :)

I know lots of people use tea tree oil for acne so maybe yes. But lavender oil is an essential which can irritate the skin, so it might be a break out. Try the product for 4-8 weeks and if your acne doesn’t cease its time for a new product. I hope this helps and best of luck on your skin care journey. You will find your product ❤️

However, I've been using active ingredients on my skin for about 3 months now and only just started to break out like crazy.
