Skincare advice needed please

Choco88 · Apr 14, 2022

I started using an Elemis cleanser about 5 days ago. Before that I was a bit lazy and just used face wipes. My skin is feeling better (it’s not dry and flaking as it was before) but I’ve got a lot of spots. I’ve read online that when you start a new product this can be normal as your skin is ‘purging’ but I was just wondering how long you’d expect this to go on for? Thanks

What cleanser was it? If it has AHA’s or BHA’s anywhere on it then you may purge and can last up to 12 weeks but if it doesn’t I would stop using it as a regular cleanser shouldn’t break you out.

it’s this one it does have AHA in it. Do you think
It’s worth sticking with it?

Yeah I think it’s worth sticking out for about 8-12 weeks but if your skin doesn’t improve after that I would leave it! AHA/BHA cleansers we’re the thing that cleared my skin up so it’s worth the wait!
