we need to make appreciation for Rowena and Felicia because both of them want to take a risk of purguing or breakout to try a new product to help people out there with their skin concern . We need to thank both of them for want to try and error products to help us 😭
Same ~ but I need to head for work. I am really thankful we are wearing mask.. however I need to remove it everytime we eat.. and it really makes me lose my confidence :( hope our skin heal 💕
I think I am experiencing it to right now, but when you experienced it, is it itchy? and when you touch your face its kinda like a little painful? I am also using the TO Niacinamide :
Roasted Baby Chicken ikr.. I think this is useless. You r a human how can u not just touch? My eyes itch. So even if I don’t want i need to touch or even normally..
Blah Blah my point is life is just not fair 😂 i avoid touching my face avoid diary products and cut down my sugar while other people drink sugary boba daily has better skin than mine
Blah Blah I can’t concentrate on not touching my face all the time like you already said as well. And eg at home I don’t care about it too much. But I try to really avoid it at places like the subway/in a bus.
I find that sometimes I just have to strip down my skincare routine to the bare minimum to avoid loads of whiteheads and skin coloured bumps under my skin that I get sometimes
This video was so helpful for my daughter😊The whole Cerave line broke her out and I was so upset because I didn’t have the receipt for the purchase and I spent almost $200 on the line. Thank God I have 3 girls cause my 26 yr old loves the line, so I just gave them all to her. Thanks again Ladies❤️👑👑❤️I absolutely love y’all 🥰🥰Great information, very clear and understandable and awesome personalities🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😘
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!
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
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!
Carolina Zarr around 2-3 months and then after that my skin is back to normal and hardly get any acnes. I also build a healthy skin care routine together with healthy diet and healthy life style to avoid skin dehydration too.
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!
Thank you. This explains why I suddenly have this small breakouts in my jaw. I have started The Ordinary Peeling solution, so far so good aside from the small breakouts i get.
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
I totally thought my skin was purging based on what was shared, until you said it typically happens where you normally experience breakouts... Back to square one 🚶🏽♀️🙇🏽♀️
Hey there! As Alex was saying, we have separate vids where we talk about retinols in general as well as adapelene! Here's the link to adapelene that you can watch here (timestamped for your convenience): czcams.com/video/9wTd0BuzXF0/video.html and the link to the retinols video here: czcams.com/video/6vrgLP52sWk/video.html. Hope this helps!
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
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.
Don't scrub your face, period. You're scratching & irritating your skin with every rub. Get a good, mild chemical exfoliant. But do your research according to your skin's needs & type.
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).
Ironically I got my first "purge" after changing my routine drastically. I think it happened after using a physical scrub or possibly retinol? Most likely the scrub since it was the newest product used. Thanks for the video there's always so much to learn about skincare (:
How is ur skin now? After 4 months? I just started using the 2% BHA from Paula choice. And I start getting black head, white head, some bumpy skin. But no painful big red acne. So it hope it’s is a purge
@@VyNguyen-wy3ov Hi so I just started using the cosrx bha blackhead power liquid twice a week for 2 weeks now. I've noticed alot of bumps on my nose, forehead, chin and cheeks. So is does it mean that the product is working? If so how long will it take to see results?
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 ..
I just started using the Pixi Glowing Toner and thought damn, all that money gone for nothing 😂 But here we are, learning that it's probably purging that is happening to me, thanks guys 💪 I will keep using it and hope that my skin gets better in a few weeks 😊
Can you guys make a video where you describe what a skin type really needs in its whole skin care routine? I love your channel but with all these product types I feel like I need all of them. What is to much for my skin and what isn’t enough?
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🤦🏾♀️
Tip for people with really really oily skin; I have stopped using moisturizers in the morning and my skin has gotten so much better. What I do is I spray my face with some rose water (you can use anything that’s light and will hydrate your skin) and then apply sunscreen and that’s it. I have realized that if I use a moisturizer I will kind of breakout so yes, try this and let me know if it helps :) have a nice day! (Also don’t forget to moisturize at night so your skin doesn’t lose too much water)
I was going through this but dint know what's happening with my skin. I was freaking out!!!! But thanks to you ❤😭 got some positivity after being depressed about my skin for sooo long . ❤❤❤
We feel your struggles! It's easy to judge every imperfection we see on the surface so quickly! 😭😭 At the end of the day, remember that your body is incredibly magical and smart and knows what to do to keep you living and breathing 💕 Hopefully things get better for you soon!
Oh. My. Goodness! This is exactly what I needed RIGHT NOW. I just had 3 spots “breakout” with one very inflamed by my nose and I was questioning purging or not. I had previously used BHA from cosRX and I had added Paulas choice pure BHA cleanser a couple of weeks ago-so I was confused. But then the mention of niacinamide- I recently added a serum containing it... now I’m wondering if this is what is reacting poorly!
some time ago I used AHA and BHA acids and niacynamide serum together, and it was the biggest mistake in my skincare, it went SO red and irritated for around two weeks, and purged a bit, I had to simplify my skincare to a minimum and it finally went OK again
Niacinamide can break down when it is exposed to extremely acidic environment which may cause your skin to flush. Would be better to wait 15-25 min between applying AHA/BHA and niacinamide.. #copied! Also avoid using too much BHA on to your skin as it can make your skin flaky and dry.. don't forget to add a good moisturizer in your skin routine..
I WILL KEEP COMMENTING!!! I RLY WLD LOVE TO SEE A VIDEO ON DARK CIRCLES AND EYE BAGS (even on young people) AND BLACK HEADS/CLOGGED PORES, AND ALLURES BEST OF BEAUTY, AND YOUTH TO THE PEOPLE, AND EYE PATCH MASKS!!!! i looove ur videos i just hope you can answer my questions!
Hello! We already did a video on dark circles and eye bags, eye patch masks, and eye creams that you can check out here: czcams.com/video/aMuMRq-wDxg/video.html For the outfits, Fel and Ro mainly get them from Rent the Runway 😁😁 And for the skincare brands you mentioned, we'll definitely keep in mind for a future video! Thanks for the suggestions! Hope this helps!
I noticed my purging started to grow after I use AHA/BHA toner. And I stop for using the toner , and just start my skincare routine as normal but I just change the toner. And my purging slowly disappeared. This video really helpful !
Is the ordinary 10% niacinamide 1% zinc known to cause purging? I started using it recently and think I'm experiencing purging based on what you described. Love your channel! It's helped me SO much!!
Julia Heslop girl i used it too Over the summer and i hear it works really well for folks with oily skin/problem skin (me) and I broke out! and I pretty much never react to products! so I guess so!
@@ajaddae5894 exactly my experience! I'm pretty sure I have combination skin and heard great things about the products but I have very swollen pimples everywhere where I normally get them now! I wonder if it's purging or a breakout. 😭
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.
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
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.
Got my face waxed and had a similar reaction to Ro. Everywhere she waxed got lots of acne. I’m already acne prone, so I think it just opened up a pathway for existing bacteria into my pores.
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 ☺☺☺
Wow I was literally watching purging or breaking out videos and thinking if beauty within has any video about purging..since I'm getting pimples all over on my cheeks after using the ordinary niacinamide 😭 I hope it goes away! And it's only purging ❤️ Edit : I'm only breaking out where I usually do.. hopefully it's only purging.
@@unsashahh12 hey, I'm still using the niacinamide..and my skin doesn't break out like crazy anymore..the purging phase is over I believe! :) I'm using the lactic acid 10% from ordinary too and that's kinda peeling my skin..but I know it's gonna go away.
@@thomasjefferson6451 hey,I stopped using niacinamide for a while..and I felt my skin was better..then I don't know why I started using it again to give it a chance..but it broke me out again! I've stopped using it now..I feel like it's not for me.. it wasn't purging..it just made my skin way worse than before 💔
@@thomasjefferson6451 I thought it was purging too! I was so hopeful with this product! Very disappointing tbh..broke my heart lol! My skin got horrible 😭 But I love the hyaluronic acid from the ordinary! I can literally see the difference every morning now
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?
Love you twoooo! Please make a video regarding ACNE PRONE dry type of skin and dehydrated on other parts of the face without acne. How do we layer products for this kind of skin? 🤔 This sounds toxic yet interesting haha. But i hope you would consider this for people who are struggling with this skin type. 🙏🙏🙏🤗
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!
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.
OMG! can u guys do a series where you review other influencer's skincare and what they can improve on! Can you guys do one on sacheu's "unsponsored skincare routine"!
I literally been crying for the past 4 days I guess Im purging I just tried out cereve I was so excited and boom next day my skin has a bunch of little white heads in my cheek
Keep going with cerave !! It’s a good brand with good ingredients. Ive been purging bcs of TO, Drunk Elephant and Cerave but I’m sure in a few weeks time these hard moments will be worth every penny and emotional breakdown :)
I’ve always had clear skin so I’ve never “needed” a skin care routine but I want to start one to maintain a my skin so if I purge it’s okay and I should carry on with cerve
Which product of cerave did you use and did purging make you're face sensitive im kinda going through purging right now and im just trying to make sure it's not a breakout
I started my 1rst chemical exfoliant, a BHA in COSRX Original Clear Pads, very mild. Doing it 2x/week. During the end of that 2nd week my chin said, "NOOOO"! So at 1rst I didn't know if I was reacting to the product or if it was purging. So I'm glad I had Derm's advice & even watched this video. It happened in an area I would always get break-outs if I were to get them, & just a little at where I was applying the pad, for I was only applying it where I needed it. Glad I am not alone in this.
Dermalogica and Paulas Choice are really popular amongst aestheticians and dermotologists. If you havent found something that works by now I'd try that!
zelda_ The majority of the Paula’s Choice products I’ve used have made my skin flare up and burn. It turned me bright red and it looked like I had a bad sunburn. But I have extremely sensitive skin. I’m still trying to figure out which products I can use
Sarah Chang You probably can’t even use majority of the products most people rave about then because your skin will react to most ingredients :/ You probably need to stick to products with the most basic ingredients - Cetaphil and Cerave.
Oh my god, this video really helpful, and my skin condition very similar to Felicia, especially on the jawline. I can't thank you guys enough for this helpful video. Love you all :)
Thank you for the video. I enjoyed all of your videos. They are very educative, informational and enjoyable. Every time I ordered or bought new products I would read reviews both positive and negative to get both sides of the stories and see what I am expecting. I'm kinda nervous too. As I get older in my 30s I find myself tend to stick to the same products that work for my skin. But I feel that my skin is needs exfoliation these days before it's so dull and not smooth. Having bad experience with chemical exfoliation, I am so nervous as I just ordered Paula's choice BHA, 10% niacinamide and 1% retinol. I hope my skin will love the products.
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.
I was so close to crying ang breaking down. I already had my check up on a dermatologist. He gave me a toner, reaclyn cream and benzoyl perocide.. At first its was fine. But then on the 3rd day. 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! God Bless😇
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
now i know what happened to my right jawline area few days after i experimentally applied adapalene (intentionally for my back acne) onto my facial spots. thanks for the vid heheh
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 ://
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!
Just a small note, I think desquamation is pronounced as de-squam-a-tion, because it means removal (so de- as in decrease/decline and the like) of skin cells (squama from Latin which means scales, in this case referring to squamous epithelial cells, that lines our skin and other organs too).
Fel & Ro, you girls don't look like you both enjoy every time you overly act too excited, i mean it kinda looks unreal. i mean your'e geniuses... and you guys should act just as you want to. anyways i might be wrong, but more power to you
Thanking you guys so much! Your video was a great timing for my problem these past 3 days too. Highly enlightened about purging vs breakout. My questions have been answered now ❤❤ love lots
That was the only thing I had changed in my routine and it was painful under the skin breakouts that were SO stubborn and are still there kinda. Idk what happened :/ can u shed some light
I get this skin purging ALL YEAR ROUND. Literally. Although the Niacinamide from the oridinary reduced this a bit but I still haven't completely gotten rid of it.
pixi elf and mario badescu all have fragrance, dyes and irritants that aren’t good for the skin. more than vegan and cruelty free you should look for fragrance free products. so many bad things have come out abt mario badescu too you should definitely never use their products. that spray everyone loves is full of parfum and fragrance and artificial dyes like yellow 5 etc
@@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.
@@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.
I had a bad reaction when i started using oil cleanser. Which is such a shame because everyone raved about how good oil cleansers are for removing make up and sunscreen. 😭
Cleansing oil was the first skincare product I ever used and before starting skincare, I never broke out. After using a cleansing oil I broke out for 4-6 weeks (not a lot, only a few small bumps, and they decreased every day) but afterwards my skin was better than ever
missaisohee the keys with oil cleansers is make sure theyre mineral oil and olive oil free because those oils clog pores and have a good water based cleanser for after to completely wash off the oil cleanser.
I started using Mandelic acid and the amount of whiteheads coming out is insane. I haven’t stopped purging yet though and I think this is about to be my third week. I hope it is actually purging.
My regular soap caused me to break out when i switched back to it after a new product. Can you react to a product you are used to or would this be purging?
I'm a combination skin type- Oily T-zone but dry flaky on the cheeks (& sometimes between brows). I use a face wash, toner, & SPF (I have a moisturizer on it's way). I experienced purging when I introduced Greek Remedy oil (has amazing reviews) to my nighttime routine. It REALLY confused me as it's pure, all-natural oils that are non-clogging. I speculate I was using too much (again, T-zone is already oily). I've yet to use it nightly (to push through a purge), but rather only a thin layer when my face feels extra dry or visibly flaky. It was just whiteheads, no pain, almost over night from using it. XD I also added Era-Organics Revive face scrub (walnuts as the exfoliate) and in just 3 days of using it, I could see even texture, old acne spots fading, and redness reduced. It's cruelty free, vegan, no perfume, no dye, sulfate/paraben free, and organic! A little pricey, but all those traits + results, it's worth it to me :)
@@emptyricebowl the scrub is very mild. Doesn't feel abrasive (though my eyes aren't microscopes). I don't have a jelly cleanser, but when what I have runs out, I'll try one! :)
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.
The first time I had so much purging (breaking out everywhere on my cheek/chin) was after I did chemical peeling twice a month... it did disappear in a week but it really SCARED me because my skin is quite mature and hasn't really broken out in cluster in years. Then now, I started to really spend more time/effort into skincare (with all these quarantines), and eating better - using retinol every night, and glycolic/salicylic acids - now I see random red spots that ain't even bumpy/painful I know it's not acne... (I know what breaks me out -- food that is spicy/oil/processed/cheese but I didn't eat much of those recently) YUP. It sucks, I just have to moisturize as much as I can with my face and wait for them to go away.
@Jessi Xiao I also.did chemical peeling and after 2 days I got many pimples on my chin and cheeks is that normal does it go away coz I'm scared I have never had so many pimples at one time
I recently started using cerave Sa cleanser, ren aha toner, niacinamide, vitamin c (in the am), and a sunscreen, along with my regular moisturizer. My skin in definitely purging. I think it’s bc of the aha toner, since you had it on the list, but Do I KEEP on using it, as it’ll get better soon or just completely stop?
Ok now I know what’s going on. I also started using an AHA toner + AHA creme, and the cerave cleanser and purge like crazy since q week. I never had acne in my life and started a skin care routine because of my big pores on my nose..
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. You may want to cut down how often you're using it but keep going. Be patient. Hate to say this but purging can last up to 4 weeks. I would use it just 2x's/week in the evening only. Advice from my Derm. I learned.
Princess A this is why u need to only use 1 new product at a time. You aren’t going to know what’s causing this reaction because u started so many different products at once.
Recently, I tried a benzoyl peroxide mask and Im an oily skin type. I thought this would help keep my pimples down but somehow I broke out in lil bumps around my chin not white heads. Is tht purging still? And how did i get rid of it? Help me Felicia! Thank you!
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)
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!!
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?

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!
Currently in the same boat although I only did home dermaplaning once a few months ago. Still dealing with the aftermath. 😂
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
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!
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?
Carolina Zarr around 2-3 months and then after that my skin is back to normal and hardly get any acnes. I also build a healthy skin care routine together with healthy diet and healthy life style to avoid skin dehydration too.
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!
How much time does purgimg last?
Sarah Bitar 3-4 weeks
Same🥺 hope I get good results though
Thank you. This explains why I suddenly have this small breakouts in my jaw. I have started The Ordinary Peeling solution, so far so good aside from the small breakouts i get.
Getting home from a stressful day to chill with my girls!
Same 🤗
So cute
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
I totally thought my skin was purging based on what was shared, until you said it typically happens where you normally experience breakouts...
Back to square one 🚶🏽♀️🙇🏽♀️
You should talk about adapelene or retinols in general!
they have a video specifically for that
Hey there! As Alex was saying, we have separate vids where we talk about retinols in general as well as adapelene! Here's the link to adapelene that you can watch here (timestamped for your convenience): czcams.com/video/9wTd0BuzXF0/video.html and the link to the retinols video here: czcams.com/video/6vrgLP52sWk/video.html. Hope this helps!

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
Never heard about purging before, thanks for teaching me something new! Love the channel 💕
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.
After this video we will know for sure how to take care of our skin! Thank you for being our Brand Ambassadors! ❤️
That awkward moment when breaking out everywhere is normal for you...😳
Mood. I've got maybe one inch on my left cheekbone I can gauge by???
Same bro same!
In conclusion, stick to a good routine and not scrub face with a fragrance product.
Kimnicole.e e thank you
Inaccurate. There is much more to it.
Don't scrub your face, period. You're scratching & irritating your skin with every rub. Get a good, mild chemical exfoliant. But do your research according to your skin's needs & type.
my skin started breaking out/purging after using cetaphil (soap free, fragrance free) and niacinimide and zinc which is also fragrance free
Maddy hannah that could mean that your skin is getting used to the new product you’re using
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).
Treading is irritating to the skin and on top of that they used exfoliates which added fuel to the fire.
Ironically I got my first "purge" after changing my routine drastically. I think it happened after using a physical scrub or possibly retinol? Most likely the scrub since it was the newest product used. Thanks for the video there's always so much to learn about skincare (:
Just started using bha yesterday and noticed several acne popping up than I would normally have. So I'm definitely going through a purge
How is ur skin now? After 4 months? I just started using the 2% BHA from Paula choice. And I start getting black head, white head, some bumpy skin. But no painful big red acne. So it hope it’s is a purge
@@VyNguyen-wy3ov Hi so I just started using the cosrx bha blackhead power liquid twice a week for 2 weeks now. I've noticed alot of bumps on my nose, forehead, chin and cheeks. So is does it mean that the product is working? If so how long will it take to see results?
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 ..
I just started using the Pixi Glowing Toner and thought damn, all that money gone for nothing 😂 But here we are, learning that it's probably purging that is happening to me, thanks guys 💪 I will keep using it and hope that my skin gets better in a few weeks 😊
How was your skin now? Give update!
This video came at the right time for me😍as I'm building a skincare routine with new products and everything. Thanks guys!
Can you guys make a video where you describe what a skin type really needs in its whole skin care routine? I love your channel but with all these product types I feel like I need all of them. What is to much for my skin and what isn’t enough?
I’m currently purging my face so this was really helpful gals! ❤️
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
Tip for people with really really oily skin; I have stopped using moisturizers in the morning and my skin has gotten so much better. What I do is I spray my face with some rose water (you can use anything that’s light and will hydrate your skin) and then apply sunscreen and that’s it. I have realized that if I use a moisturizer I will kind of breakout so yes, try this and let me know if it helps :) have a nice day! (Also don’t forget to moisturize at night so your skin doesn’t lose too much water)
I used to use Vaseline as a moisturizer with oily skin & fungal acne...😬now I don't use a moisturizer at all and I'm tryna find a good one for me
A Random Person omg Vaseline?? Lmao I hope you find one! Try gel moisturizers they are pretty good for us oily skinned people lol
@@scullcandy4948 yes Vaseline 😂 but ty for the advice . I'm thinking about ordering the hydrating gel cream from simple
I was going through this but dint know what's happening with my skin. I was freaking out!!!! But thanks to you ❤😭 got some positivity after being depressed about my skin for sooo long . ❤❤❤
We feel your struggles! It's easy to judge every imperfection we see on the surface so quickly! 😭😭 At the end of the day, remember that your body is incredibly magical and smart and knows what to do to keep you living and breathing 💕 Hopefully things get better for you soon!
Oh. My. Goodness! This is exactly what I needed RIGHT NOW. I just had 3 spots “breakout” with one very inflamed by my nose and I was questioning purging or not. I had previously used BHA from cosRX and I had added Paulas choice pure BHA cleanser a couple of weeks ago-so I was confused. But then the mention of niacinamide- I recently added a serum containing it... now I’m wondering if this is what is reacting poorly!
Niacinamide won't cause purging
Holli Martin I’m thinking more of a sensitivity since I’ve had some rough/redness as well
some time ago I used AHA and BHA acids and niacynamide serum together, and it was the biggest mistake in my skincare, it went SO red and irritated for around two weeks, and purged a bit, I had to simplify my skincare to a minimum and it finally went OK again
@@hollimartin yea but if you used it with acids aha bha it could make you breakouts.
Niacinamide can break down when it is exposed to extremely acidic environment which may cause your skin to flush. Would be better to wait 15-25 min between applying AHA/BHA and niacinamide..
#copied!
Also avoid using too much BHA on to your skin as it can make your skin flaky and dry.. don't forget to add a good moisturizer in your skin routine..
i love rowena’s outfit!🥺
I WILL KEEP COMMENTING!!! I RLY WLD LOVE TO SEE A VIDEO ON DARK CIRCLES AND EYE BAGS (even on young people) AND BLACK HEADS/CLOGGED PORES, AND ALLURES BEST OF BEAUTY, AND YOUTH TO THE PEOPLE, AND EYE PATCH MASKS!!!! i looove ur videos i just hope you can answer my questions!
also feel free to post an outfit video?
They’ve already covered it?
Hello! We already did a video on dark circles and eye bags, eye patch masks, and eye creams that you can check out here: czcams.com/video/aMuMRq-wDxg/video.html
For the outfits, Fel and Ro mainly get them from Rent the Runway 😁😁
And for the skincare brands you mentioned, we'll definitely keep in mind for a future video! Thanks for the suggestions! Hope this helps!
Azelaic acid was a game changer for me on black heads and clogged pores. Give that a shot!
I noticed my purging started to grow after I use AHA/BHA toner. And I stop for using the toner , and just start my skincare routine as normal but I just change the toner. And my purging slowly disappeared. This video really helpful !
Is the ordinary 10% niacinamide 1% zinc known to cause purging? I started using it recently and think I'm experiencing purging based on what you described. Love your channel! It's helped me SO much!!
Julia Heslop girl i used it too Over the summer and i hear it works really well for folks with oily skin/problem skin (me) and I broke out! and I pretty much never react to products! so I guess so!
@@ajaddae5894 exactly my experience! I'm pretty sure I have combination skin and heard great things about the products but I have very swollen pimples everywhere where I normally get them now! I wonder if it's purging or a breakout. 😭
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.
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
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.
one of the first lovers of beauty within :) you girls do such a good work ,lots of love also for the staff
Got my face waxed and had a similar reaction to Ro. Everywhere she waxed got lots of acne. I’m already acne prone, so I think it just opened up a pathway for existing bacteria into my pores.
Your skin=glowing * Bing Bing *
Your style=popping😍
This is what I needed rn to brighten up my evening 😍💜
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 ☺☺☺
Wow I was literally watching purging or breaking out videos and thinking if beauty within has any video about purging..since I'm getting pimples all over on my cheeks after using the ordinary niacinamide 😭 I hope it goes away! And it's only purging ❤️
Edit : I'm only breaking out where I usually do.. hopefully it's only purging.
@@unsashahh12 hey, I'm still using the niacinamide..and my skin doesn't break out like crazy anymore..the purging phase is over I believe! :)
I'm using the lactic acid 10% from ordinary too and that's kinda peeling my skin..but I know it's gonna go away.
Sadia Saiyara any updates? Are you still using it?
@@thomasjefferson6451 hey,I stopped using niacinamide for a while..and I felt my skin was better..then I don't know why I started using it again to give it a chance..but it broke me out again! I've stopped using it now..I feel like it's not for me.. it wasn't purging..it just made my skin way worse than before 💔
Sadia Saiyara thanks for the reply! I had been using it too and I broke out and I wasn’t sure if I should stop or not
@@thomasjefferson6451 I thought it was purging too! I was so hopeful with this product! Very disappointing tbh..broke my heart lol! My skin got horrible 😭
But I love the hyaluronic acid from the ordinary! I can literally see the difference every morning now
This literally happened to me a month ago when I tried out new skincare! It all made sense now! Thank you for this video, so informative!
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?
Love you twoooo! Please make a video regarding ACNE PRONE dry type of skin and dehydrated on other parts of the face without acne. How do we layer products for this kind of skin? 🤔 This sounds toxic yet interesting haha. But i hope you would consider this for people who are struggling with this skin type. 🙏🙏🙏🤗
Yes please!!!!!!! Oh my gosh I thought I was the only one with this skin type
Happened to me after using retinol for the first time, thank you for reassuring me it's perfectly normal. 🥰
So happy to see the duo again!
make a video about rosacea. how to heal it and ofc products recommendation. luv u guys!!!
Ok the spray had lots of fruit ingredients like orange apple and raspberry so maybe that's what made a reaction happen?
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!
Can you also add outfit details?😅 Love watching and learning about skincare from Australia😘
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.
Thank you for always being a part of my evening routine....I watch you aftee I do my nighttime skincare routine and hit the pillow. Good times
OMG! can u guys do a series where you review other influencer's skincare and what they can improve on! Can you guys do one on sacheu's "unsponsored skincare routine"!
I'm scared...I'm literally buying a whole new set of skincare except for cleanser😶😶😶😶 * says a hail mary for the protection of my skin *
Buy a cleanser! You need a cleanser for your life
I think they meant they’re just keeping the same cleanser they were using before
Same. I can't add products to my routine one at a time, cause I haven't had a routine before... yaaaaay depression.
@@Nerdyknitter42 I would say...just get basics ie cleanser, moisturiser spf of brands like cerave.
@@chloe067 just be happy
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! 😂🥰
I literally been crying for the past 4 days I guess Im purging I just tried out cereve I was so excited and boom next day my skin has a bunch of little white heads in my cheek
Keep going with cerave !! It’s a good brand with good ingredients. Ive been purging bcs of TO, Drunk Elephant and Cerave but I’m sure in a few weeks time these hard moments will be worth every penny and emotional breakdown :)
f4s x thank you! It is getting better I’m trying not to touch my face or pop them there slowly going away
Sameeeeeee!! Omg!! But I stopped the cleanser. I used it for a month
I’ve always had clear skin so I’ve never “needed” a skin care routine but I want to start one to maintain a my skin so if I purge it’s okay and I should carry on with cerve
Which product of cerave did you use and did purging make you're face sensitive im kinda going through purging right now and im just trying to make sure it's not a breakout
I started my 1rst chemical exfoliant, a BHA in COSRX Original Clear Pads, very mild. Doing it 2x/week. During the end of that 2nd week my chin said, "NOOOO"! So at 1rst I didn't know if I was reacting to the product or if it was purging. So I'm glad I had Derm's advice & even watched this video. It happened in an area I would always get break-outs if I were to get them, & just a little at where I was applying the pad, for I was only applying it where I needed it. Glad I am not alone in this.
Ohhh.. Now i know what happened to me when I started using retinol for the first time...
Reshma Panjwani I just bought a retinol from cerave and I got scared cause I started breaking out glad I’m not the only one
Drunk elephant made me break out... I spend like 180 dollars... just to break out ..😌😣😢
Dermalogica and Paulas Choice are really popular amongst aestheticians and dermotologists. If you havent found something that works by now I'd try that!
😭😭😭😭😭
zelda_ The majority of the Paula’s Choice products I’ve used have made my skin flare up and burn. It turned me bright red and it looked like I had a bad sunburn. But I have extremely sensitive skin. I’m still trying to figure out which products I can use
Sarah Chang You probably can’t even use majority of the products most people rave about then because your skin will react to most ingredients :/ You probably need to stick to products with the most basic ingredients - Cetaphil and Cerave.
Oh my god, this video really helpful, and my skin condition very similar to Felicia, especially on the jawline. I can't thank you guys enough for this helpful video. Love you all :)
Just used the ordinary 10% lactic acid and woke up to baby white heads. Thank you for the reassurance that I am just purging
Thank you for the video. I enjoyed all of your videos. They are very educative, informational and enjoyable.
Every time I ordered or bought new products I would read reviews both positive and negative to get both sides of the stories and see what I am expecting. I'm kinda nervous too. As I get older in my 30s I find myself tend to stick to the same products that work for my skin. But I feel that my skin is needs exfoliation these days before it's so dull and not smooth. Having bad experience with chemical exfoliation, I am so nervous as I just ordered Paula's choice BHA, 10% niacinamide and 1% retinol. I hope my skin will love the products.
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.
I really love this duo so much! 😳❤️
I was so close to crying ang breaking down. I already had my check up on a dermatologist. He gave me a toner, reaclyn cream and benzoyl perocide.. At first its was fine. But then on the 3rd day. 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! God Bless😇
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
now i know what happened to my right jawline area few days after i experimentally applied adapalene (intentionally for my back acne) onto my facial spots.
thanks for the vid heheh
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 ://
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!
Really mine hates all types of acidic and clay things I’m lost I have oily and acne prone skin help
My skin is the same way and lactic acid works SOOOO well for me try it out!!
I used glycolic acid the other day and my skin is so sensitive and reacting now :(
Just a small note, I think desquamation is pronounced as de-squam-a-tion, because it means removal (so de- as in decrease/decline and the like) of skin cells (squama from Latin which means scales, in this case referring to squamous epithelial cells, that lines our skin and other organs too).
Fel & Ro, you girls don't look like you both enjoy every time you overly act too excited, i mean it kinda looks unreal. i mean your'e geniuses... and you guys should act just as you want to. anyways i might be wrong, but more power to you
You guys are too awesome ✨💞 so much interesting information conveyed in a simple way, amazing videos as always
I love learning from your channel 😭❤️
Idk ‘bout u guys but they have great outfits and fresh makeups every single episode 💯
Thanking you guys so much! Your video was a great timing for my problem these past 3 days too. Highly enlightened about purging vs breakout. My questions have been answered now ❤❤ love lots
That was the only thing I had changed in my routine and it was painful under the skin breakouts that were SO stubborn and are still there kinda. Idk what happened :/ can u shed some light
Bby Darlingg dude my under the skin breakouts last for like weeks so i always feel like i need to get them out myself so they’re gone faster 😕
I feel like you guys are reading my mind cause I just started Adapalene gel from Laroche Posay and my skin is PURGED 😂 I need answersss
I get this skin purging ALL YEAR ROUND. Literally. Although the Niacinamide from the oridinary reduced this a bit but I still haven't completely gotten rid of it.
Sarah Israth putting the inkey lists retinol on after niacinamide has helped me
You girls are so stunning and relatable! Love you!
I would love a vegan cruelty free skin care routine (cleanser, moisturizer etc!)
Anabelle Hache pixi!!
Check out elf cosmetics, klairs, and Mario badescu!
pixi elf and mario badescu all have fragrance, dyes and irritants that aren’t good for the skin. more than vegan and cruelty free you should look for fragrance free products. so many bad things have come out abt mario badescu too you should definitely never use their products. that spray everyone loves is full of parfum and fragrance and artificial dyes like yellow 5 etc
@@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.
@@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.
I had a bad reaction when i started using oil cleanser. Which is such a shame because everyone raved about how good oil cleansers are for removing make up and sunscreen. 😭
Cleansing oil was the first skincare product I ever used and before starting skincare, I never broke out. After using a cleansing oil I broke out for 4-6 weeks (not a lot, only a few small bumps, and they decreased every day) but afterwards my skin was better than ever
Check the ingredients. Most oil cleanser use mineral oil and it's comedogenic and some people could actually breakouts because of that
Same I used the face shop cleansing oil and it broke me out!! 😭😭
missaisohee the keys with oil cleansers is make sure theyre mineral oil and olive oil free because those oils clog pores and have a good water based cleanser for after to completely wash off the oil cleanser.
I started using Mandelic acid and the amount of whiteheads coming out is insane. I haven’t stopped purging yet though and I think this is about to be my third week. I hope it is actually purging.
Yessss I’ve been researching so much on the difference I needed this video
My regular soap caused me to break out when i switched back to it after a new product. Can you react to a product you are used to or would this be purging?
I wrecked my skin with burts bees oil cleanser and the tiny bumps it left eventually became pustules that lingered 😭😭😭😭
I'm a combination skin type- Oily T-zone but dry flaky on the cheeks (& sometimes between brows). I use a face wash, toner, & SPF (I have a moisturizer on it's way).
I experienced purging when I introduced Greek Remedy oil (has amazing reviews) to my nighttime routine. It REALLY confused me as it's pure, all-natural oils that are non-clogging. I speculate I was using too much (again, T-zone is already oily). I've yet to use it nightly (to push through a purge), but rather only a thin layer when my face feels extra dry or visibly flaky. It was just whiteheads, no pain, almost over night from using it. XD
I also added Era-Organics Revive face scrub (walnuts as the exfoliate) and in just 3 days of using it, I could see even texture, old acne spots fading, and redness reduced. It's cruelty free, vegan, no perfume, no dye, sulfate/paraben free, and organic! A little pricey, but all those traits + results, it's worth it to me :)
MMWoodcock use a jelly cleanser that's suits for all skin types, don't use your walnut scrub, or if you do only use it once a week
@@emptyricebowl the scrub is very mild. Doesn't feel abrasive (though my eyes aren't microscopes). I don't have a jelly cleanser, but when what I have runs out, I'll try one! :)
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.
Asian women are so beautiful. ❤️ shoutout to yall
You're beautiful too! Sending you love right back! 😘
Y’all’s graphics are unmatched
The first time I had so much purging (breaking out everywhere on my cheek/chin) was after I did chemical peeling twice a month... it did disappear in a week but it really SCARED me because my skin is quite mature and hasn't really broken out in cluster in years.
Then now, I started to really spend more time/effort into skincare (with all these quarantines), and eating better - using retinol every night, and glycolic/salicylic acids - now I see random red spots that ain't even bumpy/painful I know it's not acne... (I know what breaks me out -- food that is spicy/oil/processed/cheese but I didn't eat much of those recently)
YUP. It sucks, I just have to moisturize as much as I can with my face and wait for them to go away.
@Jessi Xiao I also.did chemical peeling and after 2 days I got many pimples on my chin and cheeks is that normal does it go away coz I'm scared I have never had so many pimples at one time
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate(Vitamin C) made my skin purge for 2 weeks and it's so clear now😍
Yay!! So good to hear! 👏👏
I recently started using cerave Sa cleanser, ren aha toner, niacinamide, vitamin c (in the am), and a sunscreen, along with my regular moisturizer. My skin in definitely purging. I think it’s bc of the aha toner, since you had it on the list, but Do I KEEP on using it, as it’ll get better soon or just completely stop?
keep using it, if the acne is still there after 3-6 weeks then you are breaking out.
The majority of that can cause purging tbf. What did you end up doing out of curiosity, how is your skin now?
Ok now I know what’s going on. I also started using an AHA toner + AHA creme, and the cerave cleanser and purge like crazy since q week. I never had acne in my life and started a skin care routine because of my big pores on my nose..
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. You may want to cut down how often you're using it but keep going. Be patient. Hate to say this but purging can last up to 4 weeks. I would use it just 2x's/week in the evening only. Advice from my Derm. I learned.
Princess A this is why u need to only use 1 new product at a time. You aren’t going to know what’s causing this reaction because u started so many different products at once.
Recently, I tried a benzoyl peroxide mask and Im an oily skin type. I thought this would help keep my pimples down but somehow I broke out in lil bumps around my chin not white heads. Is tht purging still? And how did i get rid of it? Help me Felicia! Thank you!
Very informative now I'm fully aware I need to let go of my new cleanser I introduced to my routine
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'm going thru this with the hada labo foaming hyaluronic acid cleanser
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!!
Addy Park have you tried going to an esthetician? Perhaps they’re deeply rooted and need to actually be extracted
Me too helpppppppp
What kind of chemical exfoliants have you tried?
Makku Kuma aha, bha, lactic acid
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?
Can you guys make a vid on like ur more personal channels on how you learn all this and your other jobs on the side. And idk stuff like that. I’ve been really looking into jobs in the skincare industry and I love what you guys do
This is why i love watching your videos, very informative 💓
