Understanding Skin Purging: Why Breakouts Happen When You Start a New Product

Have you ever started a new skincare product expecting clear, glowing skin—only to break out even more? You’re not alone. This sudden flare-up can feel discouraging, but it’s often a sign that the product is working, not failing.

What Is Skin Purging?

Purging happens when a product speeds up cell turnover, bringing deep clogs to the surface faster. This means temporary breakouts as your skin adjusts. It’s part of the process—your skin is clearing out what was already beneath the surface.

Why Does Purging Happen?

Think of it like a deep cleanse—your skin is pushing out impurities before it can truly heal. It may feel frustrating, but this stage will pass! Stick with it, and soon, you’ll see smoother, clearer skin.

What If Purging Makes Me Want to Quit?

Don’t give up! Stopping now means starting over with another product, which may not be as safe, effective, or natural as LEROSETT®—proven to clear 98% of acne. Stay consistent, and trust the process—your clear skin is coming!

What is Skin Purging?

Purging occurs when an acne-focused skincare product speeds up exfoliation, pushing out trapped dead skin and toxins faster. This temporarily increases breakouts, but once healed, your skin becomes clearer over time.

Skin Purging & Breaking Out – What is the Difference? 

The key is what type of product causes the reaction:

•Purging happens when using exfoliating products like salicylic acid, retinol, AHA, or scrubs—these increase cell turnover.

•A regular breakout occurs when a product doesn’t boost exfoliation (like a basic moisturizer or cleanser) but still triggers acne.

🔹 How long does purging last? Skin renews about once a month—if breakouts last beyond 5-8 weeks, it’s likely not purging.

How to Minimize & Prevent Purging

To reduce purging time and severity, use ClearPoint® Acne Supplements during your clearing phase. By reducing sebum production, ClearPoint® helps prevent excessive breakouts, making purging milder and shorter.
