i got some important news for ya: despite what your frantic internet search history might be telling you, breaking out after starting a new skincare product isn’t always a sign that your skin is “purging.” you see, skin purging really only happens when you begin using two types of ingredients: vitamin A (aka #retinoids ) and hydroxy acids (like #salicylicacid, #glycolicacid, #lacticacid )—i.e., “active” products that speed up your cell turnover. and even though skin purging has a lowkey terrifying name 😬 , it isn’t anything to be scared of 😊—the breakout is only temporary and it’s actually a SIGN that your products are doing THEIR JOB. **as you can see here, my skin is experiencing a slight purge due to incorporating 2 new products with ACTIVE ingredients.** Even Tone Correcting SerumTM @skinbetter AlphaRet® Exfoliating Peel Pads @skinbetter
