Am I being naive to believe in skin purging

[mayandjuniper]

I've started using a new skin product that's supposed to be amazing according to the internet but my skin is getting a bit spotty. It's only been a week, and apparently products that work () cause this 'skin purging' before you get perfect skin. Am I being stupid to hope it's true and carry on or is this actually a thing?

I think its a thing - when I was on Roaccutane my skin got absolutely awful whenever I increased the doseage, and then cleared up, repeat etc.. sometimes it works, sometimes the product is actually just breaking you out! Only way to know is to use it long term
