Anua skincare causing breakouts?
So I bought the glass skin starter kit a week ago and have been using it religiously, the serum AM and PM, cleansers only at night and I also started using the medicube triple collagen cream AM. I noticed my skin was very glowy at first, like the glass skin they promised if you will, but now after using it the full week I’ve noticed some breakouts on my right cheek and forehead. I tend to sleep on my right side so I thought maybe that’s why I only have breakouts on that side, but why now and not before? And what about the forehead? I’ve seen a few posts describing this same problem specially with the anua serum. Do you guys know if this is some kind of purge? or just a bad reaction. I don’t want to suspend it specially since I’ve only used the routine for a week but idk if it’ll get any better over time. Could it be the medicube cream? The breakouts are mostly blackheads and comedones, they appear daily, new lesions that weren’t there before.
Edit: ty all for making me realize that just cause the products are sold as bundle for a skincare routine it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to start using them all at once. I’ve suspended the serum and the medicube cream and I’m sticking to the cleansers for now since I’ve already used them before. I’ll reintroduce the serum once my skin clears and make an update for people interested, probably in a week or two.
Btw I have normal skin but it tends to get dry at times (I live in cold weather), I don’t think it’s exactly acne-prone since I only get the occasional pimple if I eat greasy foods or around my period but it is sensitive and I’ve had allergic reactions to skincare products before. My main target with the kit was my pores since they’re kinda big around my nose and cheek area.
