Is this purging?

Hi! So I'm using Bakuchiol cream twice a week - Tues and Fri ... for almost a month, i actually i cant remember the exact 3/4wks maybe. I still thinking if the cause if my shampoo or the bakuchiol cream. I'm using spot treatment benzoyl peroxide cream 2.5% whenever i'm not using bakuchiol. I got pimples on only left side of my face. Before I got on my chin and jaw as well but it's now okay there ALSO HOW MANY PUMPS DO YOU USE? HAHA maybe I over used it? How many pumps on forehead, left cheek, right cheek, jaw and chin 😂 any help greatly appreciate

Well, retinoids cause the gunky stuff deep within skin to come up faster. It's called "purging" when it occurs due to skincare actives. This cream contains bakuchiol, but also retinaldehyde, even though it is pretty far down the list.

also I recommend you see a dermatologist if at all possible. this looks painful. I am not trying to be rude

My tretinoin purging lasted for weeks. I've had pretty clear skin since with small whiteheads, but no more large cystic acne. I've been using tret for 6 months now every night.

Not sure, but hormonal acne sometimes only happens on one side at a time. Mine would cluster up on one side, I would treat that side, then it would pop up on the other side.
