Purging

In skincare, skin purging refers to a transitional phase where the skin appears to worsen before improving, often following the introduction of an exfoliating active ingredient. This phenomenon is triggered by the acceleration of cell renewal, which pushes micro-comedones already present under the skin to the surface more quickly. Unlike an allergic reaction or intolerance, purging manifests as spots localised in areas typically prone to acne.
