For how long will my skin purging last?Updated a year ago
True skin purging without underlying inflammation should only last for a month or two, as your skin goes through a complete regeneration cycle. That may feel like a long time, but take into account how long you’ve been living with breakouts. Once you are past this phase, your skin will likely be clearer than ever.
If it takes longer for your skin to start clearing up and improving, there might be another issue at fault, like irritation or comedogenicity.
Sometimes, it can be hard to tell when your skin is starting to improve. Take a “before” picture that you can use for comparison to get a more objective idea of how far your skin has come.
