Is the niacinamide and vitamin c in one product? If not, just introduce them one by one. It can take up to weeks when purging so I suggest using other soothing products in your routine.

Purging: -Pimple appears at the place that u usually breakout - won’t last long (ard 3-4 weeks depends on each individual) -ur skin will looks worst than b4 -but once ur skin heal , say hello to glowing & smooth skin 🤩 Breakout: -pimple appears at new area that u usually doesn’t breakout -last longer I always incorporate soothing & calming ingredients whenever I breakout to soothe my skin & I focus on hydration, I make sure my skin is always hydrated enough so my skin hydration & oil production level will be balanced. This way ur skin will produce less oil & won’t lead to much pimple & clogged pores. ☺️☺️

Hi girly! I know how annoying this can be as I started to purge when I started my Retin A. Unfortunately, it’s just something you have to go through. A recommendation for next time, as you have new products you want to implement in your skincare routine, do so slowly and not too fast to prevent the purging. Start 1-2 x then increase it. I’m sorry there isn’t a direct answer to help you currently, but I’m sure the results will be well worth it ✨

Just use it separately . So you know whos the one are give you purge . Wearing a niacinamide in 2 weeks then after you see the result and your skin is okay so layer than you wearing vitamin c after that and if any irritation occur so you already know that vitamin c that give you to lead to purging . So intro one by one to your skin amd never use all mew skincare in one routine because can give you more trouble to think which one is lead you to purge . Good luck for finding for it .

Vitamin C is a pretty common ingredient that cause purging. If it purging, thats totally normal and it will detox your skin and will be better in the run. Purging produces small zits that are not as imflammed as acne. I attached a picture from Picky on how to deal with it. I hope this helps.
