Did anyone else experience purging while using the alpharet overnight cream or the moisturizer and vitamin C cream from SkinBetter Science or know why this could be happening? please let me know what your experiences were with these products or if this is expected or not! It’s been a month now and my skin is still breaking out everywhere when it wasn’t before i started using it. I feel like it ruined my skin and i’m not sure what to do!

SkinBetter Science Purging

I’ve been using skinbetter science to try it out because i heard people raving about it. my skin is having some SERIOUS purging when my skin was almost perfectly clear before. i did have a little bit of texture and some scarring because i used to struggle with bad cystic acne and it’s all coming back now with using these products but it’s only been about 2.5 weeks so i’m going to wait it out and see if it gets better. i was also on tretinoin for several years before that so my skin is used to exfoliation and i did monthly chemical peels also and other treatments so i’m not sure why these specific products are causing such a bad purge. if anyone has any advice please let me know!!!

I think it may be breaking you out stop using asap
You should not be purging that happens with retinoids
I would stop using and try to get a refund

I have been on Face Reality Vitamin A serum for 5 months and Skin Better Science Alpha Ret clearing serum for 1 month. Skin looks worse than before just like you said! I have never seen it purge so bad. Horrible horrible acne all over. What worked for me in the past was a very strong Benzol Peroxide and Face Reality's cleansers, toners, mandellic serums, and hydrating gels. I switched in the first place because of shipping costs but now I have to go back and suck it up! I also got told I may have PCOS by an esthetician so maybe that's something you can look into as well. I ordered a womens hormone test from Everlywell which is a pretty in depth and tests it all. So we will see. Praying for you girl. It's so tough to deal with acne. One more thing that has helped big time was: Fragrance free detergent, no fabric softener, change pillowcase every night, take zinc and strong fish oils. This was long but youre not alone!!!

SAME thing with me! Last year I gave the alpharet 16 weeks and I continually broke out! So I just stopped using it.
I just started again with the cleansing gel, and oxygen infusion and I’m having the same issue within the first 2.5 weeks! Maybe there’s ingredients in the skinbetter products we can’t tolerate.
Did it get better ??

What's your skin type? If you're oily, I would say they should have had you on Oxygen Wash, and AlphaRet Clearing Serum. Then Hydration boosting cream.

I know I'm late, but it was the Trio. Oily skin types no matter what anyone says don't always do well with Trio in my profesional experience.

I used Trio and broke out badly too after a week then I stopped using it. This product isn't oil free and irritant free
