Some people might experience initial skin purging or increased sensitivity when they start skin cycling. They're known to help stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture and tone, reduce wrinkles, and clear up acne. What works for one person might not work for another.
These signs may include fine lines, wrinkles, post-breakout marks, enlarged pores, and brown spots. However, those who have used retinol or retinoids before have likely experienced a period of purging , otherwise known as “the retinol scaries.” Let’s start from the top: What are retinol and retinoids?
So for the next couple weeks, we just did Celluma LED Light Therapy 2 – 3 times a week to assist with the transition of home care and purging. Long term, I have seen acne clear and wrinkles significantly reduced. This client purchased a Celluma and has used it every 2 – 3 days.” Rosacea clients say, ‘What Redness?’”
If the new product causes your skin to break out, maybe you’re just purging. Vitamin E visibly diminishes the appearance of wrinkles and uneven skin texture. If it’s swelling, pain and redness, your best bet is to stop use immediately and consult your dermatologist.
With the loss of the structural support provided by important proteins, the skin begins to sag and lines and wrinkles become more apparent. Conventional retinol can cause dryness, redness and sensitivity and can cause a purging stage (essentially where your skin will get worse before it gets better).
Additionally, retinol is known for its ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation, making it a popular choice in anti-aging skincare routines. If you’re prone to acne, beware of ‘purging’ : Around 20% of people who use retinoids get a flare during the first few weeks after starting it.
Typically, the chief concerns are redness/rosacea, acne/scarring, pigment issues, and fine lines/wrinkles. I assess their skin, ask what their chief concerns are with their skin, what they’d like to see change, and what products they’re currently using on their skin at home.
