I have had a skin reaction to a productUpdated 3 hours ago

When the skin reacts during the adjustment to a new skincare routine, it can be due to factors related to the skin or the active ingredients in the product. The skin is a living organ that takes about 6 weeks to adapt to a new skincare routine. It is not uncommon to experience flaking/itchiness/bumps, or similar symptoms for a short period when introducing new products and the skin is adjusting to a new skincare routine. The symptoms should be mild, transient, and disappear quickly. You can handle the adjustment as follows: Take a short break from the product until the skin returns to normal. Then start with a gradual introduction. Try using the product every other day for a short period, then gradually increase to using the product once a day. A gradual introduction is especially a good idea if you have sensitive skin.
