Hello fellow skincare enthusiasts! I’ve recently started using COSRX AHA/BHA products in my routine, and I’ve noticed some unexpected reactions. Initially, my skin felt amazing—so smooth and rejuvenated. However, I’ve since encountered breakouts that caught me off guard. I’ve read about the concept of purging, but I’m wondering if what I’m experiencing might actually be irritation instead.
I’m particularly interested in hearing from others who have tried these products. Did you experience a purging phase that eventually led to better skin, or did you find that your skin didn’t respond well? I have combination skin, so I’m trying to balance oiliness while managing dry patches, which adds to my confusion.
If you’ve had similar experiences, what adjustments did you make to your routine? Any tips or recommendations? I’d love to hear your stories and insights to help us all on our skincare journeys!
