The ordinary

[lottieleo]

I've started using some new products From the ordinary
The niacinanide and zinc
P lant-Derived Hemi-Squalene

My skin was congested and a bit dull but now I have full on breakouts 😩

Anyone used these products? Should I carry on in hope it clears up?

As I understand, only actives should cause purging e.g. AHA, BHA.

So I think what you're having is a reaction I.e. the product doesn't suit your skin.

FWIW, this is why you should introduce products gradually and one at a time. Because at present you've no way to tell which of the two has caused you the issue (though if I were a betting woman I'd say the niacinimide, it seems to react badly with a lot of people).

I've been using their stuff for ages. Just started with Niacinamide and have spots too!

My main problem with TO is that their products don't seem to be consistent quality-wise. I could be using one product and have it work ok, and order it again only to have it break me out!
