Silk Naturals

I used this a couple of years ago with no problem but had to stop because I got pregnant. I'm now using it again and wondering if it can cause purging. When I first started with SN skin care this happened but I assumed it was from the AHA toner.

Thanks!

I'd lean more towards AHA that caused the purging. Super Serum is much more unlikely because the actives are there more to battle acne/zits/bumps/whatnot. Although different people have different trigger for purging. For example, I have experienced purging from 100% castor oil.

I'm not using AHA now, that was a couple of years ago

So are you purging now or then? From your post I thought you were purging when you were using Super Serum AND AHA, and wondering now IF you start using SS again it might cause purging. Heheh. My bad.

Yes I am purging now.

I have never heard of Vitamin C and Niacinamide cause purging. Maybe you're allergic to Venuceane? I knew some people whose skin don't go along with marine algae products like SKB or spirulina and whatnots. Maybe that's the trigger to your breakout?

I hope Karen can help clarify the issue.

I'd like to think that Super Serum isn't what's causing it, but any sort of change can bring it on- especially when you're going through hormonal things.
