Is this purging or breakout?

[User3936493947]

I started using Dermalogica Milkfoliant once weekly (Sat) and Inkey List Salicylic Acid cleanser once weekly (Weds) hoping that it would help with my occasional breakouts. I’ve had these red bumps on my forehead, chin and one cheek since then. The spots on my cheek and chin are roughly where I have had them previously but the forehead is new.

Persist with the exfoliants or stop using them?

I would perhaps stop, let the breakouts heal and then introduce one product back at a time.

I do use the milkfoliant daily - I find it quite gentle and it really helps with the small bumps I used to get, but your skin may just be more sensitive and one/both may have damaged your skin barrier.
