So I’ve been using Murad for a few days and while the texture of my skin is softer and better, my breakouts are worse. I’ve stopped using the treatment gel as it made my face really red (I was an idiot and used it twice a day as instructed without letting my skin get used to it) and am now using the T-Zone Pore Regining Gel in place.

However, my skin is now in the so-called “purging” phase- little whiteheads along my mouth and cheeks, placed I’ve never gotten acne before. How long should this last before I see results? I had read a load of bad reviews after I bought and began using it (I had read only positive things on Sephora before filtering, and I also kept in mind everyone’s skin is different). I’m mainly curious about the purging… Is there anything I can do to lessen the blow?

I’m 20 by the way.
I forgot to add- I called a skin care rep at Murad and told them that it was making my face red and was advised to switch gels as the T-Zone one is way less harsh yet still effective, and use a gentle moisturizer. So the redness is now gone a day later as my skin has calmed down… But now the breakouts. =/ If it keeps up, any other brands? I’ve tried:
Proactive
Neutrogena (basically everything)
Clean & Clear
Nature’s Cure
Clinique
Differin (perscription)
Nogzema
Aveda
Burt’s Bees
St. Ives
Clearisil

Sorry, this may sound like a slightly irrelevant and stupid question but i’ve got to ask.

Every day i wash my face twice a day and put acne medication at night up until about the last few days i’ve just been washing my face once at night and putting the medication on. Well i got tired of my old foundation so i bought some new kind lastnight. Tried it on today, worked perfectly fine and actually better. I did my make-up the same as always except that one change. Just a few moments ago when i washed and put the medication on, it seems to be burning more than ever. Which hasn’t happened in a looong time since my face started really clearing up.

Any relevance whatsoever between the two or just coincidence? Rude remarks aren’t neccessary ty.
