Hello, everyone! My first time posting here, have been commenting along this week in other postings. I'm loving this community energy and I'm meeting a lot of amazing humans beings.

I have a doubt about what to do when your treating acne and the so famous purging begins.

I bet is probably different depending on the product you are using. I've been using Adapalene for a month now, the purging is not so bad but my acne is getting super swollen in the last weeks and hurts so bad.

How was your experience with purging? Did your acne got worst too? How did you treat it?

What to do during purging?

I received this product from Picky and SKIN1004 in exchange for my honest review.

Let me start by saying that, SKIN1004 is not currently available in my location, so I was very happy with the opportunity to give it a try. This also was my first experience with a toner.

I used the toner together with the ampoule. After a few tests I decided it was best to apply the ampoule before letting the toner dry, it seems to spread and absorb better.

The toner is very lightweight, has no coloration or perfum. As I'm in the middle of the summer it was very refreshing to apply it in the morning. My skin love it! I thought it was going to feel sticky, but no. It dries and absorb very well.

After a month of using it together with the ampoule my skin was felling and looking amazing. 

I totally recommend this product for mature skin like mine (40yo). The improvement after almost a month is amazing. I feel my skin younger, refreshed and with a beautiful glow.

I love this product!

The ingredient list is very impressive and I was expecting it to work wonders on my skin. I have a lot of excessive pigmentation going on, acne and summer dermatitis.

As a designer I was very impressed with the quality of the package. Very good material and you can see the thinking behind it.

I've used the ampoule together with the toner on my mourning routine. I recommend the toner also, specially to use it right before, so you get a better smooth application.

The ampule has a serum texture, it's very lightweight and easy to apply in the skin. It has a very soft natural scent that dissappears in a few seconds after application. It leaves your skin glowing but not sticky. 

After only a week of use I was already seen the effects. My skin got softer, with less texture, my acne and my dermatitis got better. It did wonders for my skin lines around my eyes.

I totally recommend this product for mature skin like mine (40yo). The improvement after almost a month is amazing. I feel my skin younger and healthier as it was in my 20s.

I love this product!

The only downside is that it  starts to irritate my eyes at the end of the day. The feeling goes away when I remove it at night, but it shouldn&#39;t happen at all.

The best sunscreen I&#39;ve ever used! My skin absolutely loves this productions!!

It&#39;s perfect for oily skin, leaves a velvet texture in the skin with no shine. No whitecast at all! 

I use it as my daily sunscreen all year, and during summer I skip the moisturizer since it&#39;s very hydrating.

I got a free sample on my local pharmacy. Unfortunately, I had a really bad experience with this product. The first thing I notice was the smell. It's awful! It smells like you have just squeezed a thousand lemons in it! It's very irritating to the eyes and I can't use it at all because of my allergies.

Next, was the consistency. It feels like a very thick gel and is not easy to spread on your face. I noticed that instead of covering my pores, the color on the sunscreen was filling my pores and making them more visible.

Next, it started to give me a really bad burning sensation. I'm not sure which ingredient on it irritated my normally super resilient skin. That's actually the only impressive thing on it, the ability to burn in your face as soon as you apply it.

For last, it was horrible to get rid of it. It's very thick and as it was burning my skin and I was in a hurry it felt like forever to get rid of it. My solution was reaching my makeup remover, which worked very fast and saved my life once more.


I have nothing good to say. This product it's not worth your money!

This is the first cleanser I ever used, but I loved it at the first try. My skin feels very refreshed and cleaned without dryness. It has a really good value for money.
