Skin Purging Versus Skin Reaction
There are many brands and options for skin care products on the market right now, making it difficult to decide which one to use. Even if it’s recommended by someone you know, the product’s effectiveness can differ from skin to skin. One thing that you have to take into consideration when you just start using a product is that some of it may cause skin purging or a bad skin reaction.
What is Skin Purging?
Skin purging happens when a product is too strong for your skin. It is a normal reaction for people who have sensitive skin; it just takes some time for the skin to get used to it.
What is a Bad Skin Reaction?
A bad skin reaction, like an allergic reaction or breakout all over the face, means that the product is not for you, and you have to stop using it right away.
When do you Know that it is Skin Purging and not a Bad Skin Reaction?
In terms of duration, skin purging usually takes a few weeks, then the skin will start to clear up. Skin purging appear as whiteheads, blackheads, or small zits located in areas where you normally breakout and are usually caused by active ingredients such as retinoids, AHA’s, BHA’s, benzoyl peroxide, Adelaide acid, and certain enzymes.
While a bad skin reaction to a skin product may take longer than 4 weeks to clear,. They appear as tiny red bumps, dry patches, stings, or breakouts located all over the face. This could mean that your skin is allergic to one of its ingredients or clogging your pores.
It is recommended to do a slow introduction of a new product and to moisturize the skin as often if there is an active ingredient. Avoiding anything that can add up to the severity, like direct sunlight, is a must to limit the chances of skin purging or a skin reaction.

Skin Care at Jack Nathan Medspa
At Jack Nathan Medspa, we offer medical-grade skin care products. The potent ingredients in medical-grade skin care effectively penetrate the epidermis, therefore allowing the active ingredients to work at the deeper levels of the skin (the dermis).
The dermis is the middle layer of the skin and is a fibrous structure composed of collagen and elastic tissue. The dermis is where the change in your skin happens at a structural level (i.e., collagen induction, melanin inhibition). The potent ingredients allow your skin to see results faster.
Medical-grade skincare products, such as brands like SkinMedica and Dermaceuticals, are subjected to more rigorous testing and regulation. SkinMedica products, for instance, have several peer-reviewed clinical studies to back up the efficacy of their products.
Over-the-counter skin care products are not required to have rigorous testing and regulation and can make claims but do not have the research and studies to back up the claims.
If you find yourself overwhelmed and wondering which products are best tailored to you, our medical consultants can access your skin and help establish a skincare routine tailored to your needs.
