Purging: Embrace the Journey to Clear, Radiant Skin

Have you tried retinol or salicylic acid hoping for flawless skin, only to encounter new breakouts? Don't worry—this might actually be good news!

Introducing powerful actives like retinol or BHA acids can kick-start a process called purging. This accelerated skin renewal brings underlying impurities to the surface, leading to temporary blemishes. It means the product is working to rejuvenate your skin from within.

How to Distinguish Purging from Irritation:

1. Duration: Purging usually lasts 4–6 weeks as your skin adjusts. Breakouts heal faster than usual during this time.
2. Location: Blemishes appear in areas where you typically experience them. If new spots show up in unfamiliar places, it might be irritation.
3. New Actives: Starting products like our premium Retinol Serum or Salicylic Acid Elixir can trigger purging due to increased cell turnover.

Tips for a Gentle Transition:

To ease into this process, introduce new actives gradually—begin with once a week and slowly increase as your skin adapts.

After the purging phase, you'll be rewarded with clearer, more radiant skin 🙏
