After applying Bioderma Sébium cream, breakouts appear. Is this a purging reaction or a sign that the product isn’t suitable?

The Sébium line is designed for oily and acne-prone skin but may contain active ingredients (such as salicylic acid and zinc gluconate) that can:

cause an initial flare-up by purging clogged pores,

or lead to irritation if you have a sensitivity to certain components.

How to tell what’s happening:
If breakouts appear during the first 1–2 weeks and then gradually decrease, it may be a normal adjustment phase.

If breakouts worsen, become painful, or appear in new areas, the product is likely not suitable for your skin.

Important tips:
Start by using the product every other day to let your skin adjust.

Always pair it with a gentle moisturizer to minimize skin stress.
