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?
〰️
You’ll have to watch to find out! 👀
