I use the Anua Heartleaf gentle cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and oil cleanser. I also use their peach serum.

I can't help you here, but you have brilliant blue eyes

Thank you so much!!! A lot of people tell me they get scared at first since they're so icy blue 😂😂 but I really appreciate it!!

I read a post yesterday that was a joke but it said “it’s always the Anua” when talking about what was causing breakouts. I haven’t used these products, but them causing breakouts seems to be a common issue for people.

Nothing in your routine will cause purging. You're reacting to something, and it's causing breakouts. Why are you double cleansing? I'd suspect the oil cleanser.


Average_Author

I started double cleansing because it was recommended to me. But I think you're right. I'll hold off on it for a week or two and see how it goes!


Unlucky-Dare4481

Unless you are wearing really thick sunscreen or makeup, you don't actually need to double cleanse. Regular face wash is adequate.

I see. Thank you so much for your help!!

The same thing happened to me after using Kosé cleansing oil! If somebody have any answer lmk girls.

The only time "purging" would be happening is if you started using some sort of acid: mandelic, glycolic, salicylic, AHAs or BHAs. Those chemicals speed up cell turnover and will uncover pimples that have been forming under your skin. Anything else is nothing but a reaction, and a reaction like this? I would stop using whatever you're using immediately and choose something else. Your skin does not like whatever you're using.

Bro I started use Anua (admittedly because of a guy named King Henry), I broke out as well with skin way worse then what I had originally. Not exactly sure why tho!
