Here are some ways to distinguish between skin purging and a regular breakout:
This happens because that’s the peak period of irritation, known to many as the dreaded “purging phase” when clogged pores start surfacing and the skin gets easily inflamed
Differin can have positive effects quite quickly, but it's subject to what's known as the Differin purge: a period during which things can seem to be getting worse again
It’s important to note that the purging phase for most skincare products is temporary and we should

Try it every few nights, work your way up to every other night, and so on

Honestly, I'm not a huge believer of purging, so if I can avoid getting pimples while treating them it would be great
