Purging after using Skin1004 ampoule!

I recently received the ampoule from Skin1004. I've been using it for a couple of days now and my skin is starting to break out! I'm not sure if it's because of this since it doesn't have any harsh ingredients. I haven't done anything different nor have I added any other product into my routine. Could anyone explain what could be the reason? Edit : I've stopped using it and my skin is back to normal. I remember using a Cica sleeping mask from laneige and having a breakout as well. I used to think that it was because of the thickness but I guess now I can say that it's the ingredient. Whatever it is, allergic reaction or pore clogging, I would personally not use centella henceforth. P.S I see a lot of people getting scared of the product. Please don't! What's bad for me can be good for a lot of people and vice versa. Do what's best for YOUR SKIN! Thanks!

hm thats weird if you didnt add new products. Maybe you're reacting bad to a ingredient in the ampoule? If I was you I would try to not use this ampoule for a few days and if your skin condition is better than I would try it again. If you still experience a break out I would stop using this ampoule

yess i agree with this, make sure you give more time to your skin to recovery, then you can trt this again. Hopefully its not from your ampoule

I haven’t got mine yet, but I did saw post that some people have breakout after introduced this ampoule into their routine. if I were you, when I want to test new product, I will do patch test for at least 3 days(non active product) and longer period for active product to ensure my skin would not react badly to the product before I apply on whole face. I will also minimise my routine to as simple as I can, as I really would want to see how my skin reacts to the new product, it would only comprised of cleanser, soothing/calming toner that I usually use, new product (ie the ampoule), basic moisturiser that I usually use. I also suggest you to temporary stop using your current serum when you’re testing out this ampoule as ampoule is much nutrient rich than serum and some skin might not tolerate an ampoule when ampoule is first introduced into their routine.

I keep hearing about this "patch test". Could you tell me how I can do that?

Some people experience purging with the Skin1004 ampoule, and some have positive effects with this product. As what others said, maybe stop using the ampoule first and observe your skin for awhile. Saw your comment above and for the patch testing, before incorporating a new product to your routine, check it first by applying a small amount of the product at the back of your ear or some part of your jaw area to see if the product suits you. Then observe it for about 2-3 days to check the effects. You can apply it to your whole face then if the area you're testing didn't have any breakouts or any negative effects. 😅😬

AM- cerave moisturizing cleanser, vitamin c serum, ampoule, moisturizer, spf. I didn't want to include it in PM since I mix Niacinamide and Moisturizer together and apply it on a damp face. The only part of the day where my skin feels good.
