Q
Hello, will this make my skin purge? If so, are there any steps or recommendations on how to avoid purging?
Asked by Ingrid
Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand Engage
Please note that with any active ingredient that affects skin behaviour, there can be an initial purging period during which breakouts are normal. Trying test patches of each new product first will allow you to identify whether you are sensitive or intolerant to a particular formulation. If you wish to begin using multiple new active ingredients, it is best to introduce one new product into your regimen at a time and allow your skin enough time to adjust before incorporating another. We would recommend taking a break from the products until your skin has calmed. Once calmed, you may wish to try test patches of each product to see which ingredients your skin likes and which ones it doesn't.Was this answer helpful to you

Used to be a favorite

I was dependent on this product to keep acne and sebaceous filaments away for a long time. Then the formula changed and without it actually going near my eyes, I had a massive allergic reaction. It sensitized my skin so badly that now other products that I was able to use before make my eye swell up...
