why the ordinary niacinamide 10% + zinc 1% is causing purging and breakouts 😅

👋 Hey skincare nerds! 👋 This week we’re going to talk about why The Ordinary’s Niacinamide 10 + Zinc 1 can cause purging!!!
〰️
So I’ve seen a lot of comments about this serum causing your skin to purge recently. It’s a fave of mine so I wanted to address some of the reasons why you might be experiencing a bad reaction and what you can do about it!!! But if you’re getting breakouts after using this, don’t worry, you are not alone. Not all products work for everyone, and I’ll suggest some other products that might work better for you.
〰️
💰 I purchased these products with my own money 💰.
〰️
So why is The Ordinary niacinamide serum causing purging? And how can you tell it’s purging and not a bad reaction?

"Look where it's actually happening on the face. If it's on the location where you usually break out, you're purging, but if it's on a new place where you usually don't break out, it's a break out".
*Me having acne on the whole face" : yes.

Who else just found her?? Hyram and Cathy need to do a collab!

[thegreedyworm]

I plan to fill an entire bathtub full of the stuff. I will submerge myself completely into the serum so I will exponentially improve my skin until I am a perfect flawless being

[makaylabernadez]

me: *freaking out because I purged after using the ordinary niacinamide*
FBI agent that's watching me: I gochu *puts this video on my recommended*

[vampyvamp]

mini dermatologist in practice- use it on one dark spot that’s singled out and try not to everywhere else. that way it will limit the purging, get the skin used to it, then slowly introduce 1-2 times a week or for sensitive skin 2 times a month. its a long process, and as someone who hates waiting i get it, but i also dont want more acne which im sure no one wants. be patient!! :)

niacinamide made my skin really red, itchy and gave me small dry pimples, mostly on the area around my mouth. everybody kept praising TO's niacinamide serum but it made the issues i already had with my skin even worse. gotta remember just because it works for everyone else, doesn't mean its good for you

[jiyakhurana]

Cathy: "Add products into your routine slowly"
Me: Adds 2 products from the ordinary and a cerave moisturizer within the span of a week"

[Bella-qupf]

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE I HAD NO IDEA IT JUST DID THIS TO PEOPLE WOW ILL CONTINUE TO USE IT THEN!

[Michelle-tjgk]

yall dont know how happy i was when she explained what purging looks like (which happened to my skin exactly the way she said) because i bust bought it and i was so sad when i started to "purge" just after a day. Ill keep using it!!

[haveaniceday]

Don't forget that niacidimine can also be in your cleanser and moisturizer. If you're noticing irritation and or purging. Just put a couple drops of the serum in your moisturizer

[Mammmma]

A tip: when using a new active product, try to gradually use it daily. Example: twice a week for 2 weeeks and then use more often

[theteacuppie]

I used it and never broke out or purged. In just a week my skin cleared and face was smooth. I suffer from cystic acne and rosacea. Even my redness went down. Looove it

[perlajimenez]

Niacinamide made my skin break out on my cheeks and chin and I was left with scarring, HOWEVER it’s been taking a turn and now my face doesn’t break out as much as before, my skin looks tighter and brighter and the scarring has gone away for the most part but I definitely continue to see improvement. Glad I didn’t give up on the product! 10/10 would recommend!!!

[effaaziz]

I did breakout/purging after using niacinamide and i threw it away. But after i found this channel, i bought it again. Pray for me🥺

[Hdidbi_]

My skin was purging for two to three weeks and after that it was flawless p, apart from scars of course. I’m glad I started it in quarantaine...

[audikittycat]

I just started using this product, and i have a ton of pimples caused from it. Thanks to this video, I realized im just purging

[nataliecoakley]

My skin is glowing with this stuff. Literally niacidimide is my greatest skincare friend.... ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[jovi]

When I started using it, my skin went crazy for the first couple of weeks. Now it looks and feels soooo good. Super worth it
