Troubleshooting
My skin feels a little tight after using the cleanser.
While designed to be non-drying, individual skin types can react differently. Try using a slightly smaller amount of cleanser or ensure you are not over-cleansing. Immediately follow with a hydrating moisturizer suitable for your skin type.
The product isn't foaming as much as I expected.
Ensure your face is adequately wet before applying the cleanser. A small amount of water is needed to activate the foaming agents. Also, ensure you are using enough product (usually one full pump is recommended).
I've started breaking out after using this cleanser.
Sometimes, when introducing new active ingredients like Niacinamide, a temporary 'purging' period can occur where skin appears worse before it gets better. If breakouts persist or worsen after 2-4 weeks, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist, as the product might not be suitable for your specific skin.
