Lux Powder and skin purging?

Hi, I started using the Lux powder (pearl powder) as a leave-on treatment at night.

I noticed a few small pimple like irregularities on my skin. On my nose, I see small clot like lumps that can be scratched out and feels like clogged sebum.

Is this the skin purging itself in response to the Lux powder, or I am allergic to something? :?:
Thanks!

In my experience, allergic reactions are usually red and irritated, and sometimes welted and itchy. Clogged sebum like you describe is probably something different and kind of sounds like a purge of sorts. Try it for a little while longer and see if it gets worse (if you are willing to take a chance)... If you don't want to take a chance, I would discontinue use.
