To my knowledge vitamin C shouldn’t cause purging, it’s possible your skin is just reacting negatively to that product

Vitamin C CAN cause purging. And so can retinoids and acids (AHA, BHA).
Purging lasts around a month, but it differs for everyone. If you want to avoid or lessen it, start with lower concentrations or use a smaller amount (1-2 drops) of the product around 2 times a week. Then slowly increase the amount and frequency as your skin gets used to it.

as fas as I know vit c shouldn’t but there’s no guarantee… you could always allergic to any ingredient. also maybe check if the product has oxidized. try stop using it and see if that solves the issue.

I have not experienced personally, but i hear retinol can make your skin thin and very sensitive (hence, always use sunscreen!)
