Can the Cerave pm lotion cause purging?

I started the lotion at the beginning of this month with the Neutrogena hydroboost spf 30. The month is ending now and my skin is worse than before. I have now more and bigger pimples and also on my forehead. I'm not sure if I'm purging or breaking out from one or both of them.

hi! the pm lotion have niacinamide which can cause purging. What I am more concern about is the neutrogena lotion, it has alcohol denat which can be drying and cause break outs as well as fragrance which can be irritating. Im not sure which one of these can cause you irritation, or if your skin break out from too much moisture, so I think you should remove one of them in your routine to see how your skin react, then do the same thing for the others. You can patch test on your neck behind your ears to see how your skin react. I hope this can help :)

I don’t know what the issue is, but I wouldn’t think the CeraVe is the issue, because the ingredients are fine. The neutrogena one contains Fragrance that could be a problem if your skin is sensitive. Also I would definitely recommend to use a treatment with salicylic acid/BHA if you’re not already using one , that helps with pimples Hope that helps :)

hey, but if you skip using that sunscreen you should definitely use a different SPF. The CeraVe cleanser is a good Option and a great start when you starting to use exfoliating products.

Hey, okay then you definitely need a SPF. Soo I would now recommend you a very basic skincare routine with Korean products (you can get them pretty easy over YesStyle). For your breakouts salicylic acid would really help you, but U think it’s more effective in a treatment then in a wash off that’s why I wouldn’t use the CeraVe SA cleanser. Okayyy so first of AM routine Use the normal Etude House cleanser simple and gentle Then shoose one of the moisturiser all off them are good they all contain niacinamide with helps with acne scars, pigmentation, sebum contact... And then very important a sunscreen In PM you probably need to double cleanse, because sunscreen is typically not so easy at washing off So you can start with a oil, balm or micellar water And then use again your cleanser Then use the toner it should be fine to use it every day because it’s a quit low percentage of BHA/AHA, but just in case start 2 times a week and build slowly up And to finish just use your moisturiser If you don’t see the changes that you want (give your skin at least 6 weeks) then we can add some more products to work with your concerns Hope that helps sorry for the late answer
