All You Need to Know About Purging
Understanding Skin Purging
Breakouts after starting a new acne product? It might not be a bad reaction—it’s often a sign the product is working.
What Is Skin Purging?
Purging happens when a product increases cell turnover, bringing trapped oil and impurities to the surface faster. This may cause temporary breakouts, but it’s part of the clearing process.
Why Does It Happen?
Think of it like a deep cleanse. Your skin is pushing out what’s been beneath the surface so it can truly heal. Though frustrating, this stage is temporary—and clearer skin follows.
Should You Stop Using the Product?
No. Stopping now resets your progress. LEROSETT® is clinically proven to clear 98% of acne. Stay consistent, trust the process, and avoid jumping between products.
Purging vs. Breaking Out: What’s the Difference?
- Purging: Triggered by exfoliating actives like salicylic acid, retinol, or AHAs that boost cell turnover.
- Breakouts: Caused by non-exfoliating products (like basic moisturizers or makeup) that clog pores or cause irritation.
📌 How long does purging last? Skin typically renews every 4 weeks. If breakouts last beyond 5–8 weeks, it may not be purging.
How to Reduce or Prevent Purging
Use ClearPoint® Acne Supplements during your clearing phase. These help regulate oil production and reduce the severity and length of purging.
