I strongly believe it's purging. I do not have any research on that topic, but in my medical school, they taught us that skin can't get addicted to an ingredient. It would be different, if the active you use is an antibiotics - microorganisms can get immunity to antibiotic and then you have to try another one. But for the skin, I believe it's purging or your skin just needs something different - my skin reacts badly to zinc in any form - oral or skin treatment, I was always sick or have worse acne after using zinc. PIE is nothing else than inflammation, I would recommend choosing products with EGCG (Green tea), Vitamin C, Caffeine or Centella to reduce redness and calm the skin :) Also, since you mention redness - tone up creams can be good too :)
