[skin concern] just started retinol & vitamin C — new pimples in 2-3 days?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi! I just started using a retinol (glossier universal pro-retinol) as well as a vitamin C serum to combat acne/maskne/scars. My skin is used to actives like BHA.I started this past Saturday and have only used the retinol once so far (sticking with once a week at night to start). I’ve been using the vit C in the mornings since Saturday.New pimples appeared on my face a couple days after (former small bumps that became pimples, and new pimples in sporadic areas).These pimples actually don’t hurt or itch AT ALL strangely, they’re just new and there. Is this considered purging or a breakout from the products? Should I continue to use them?Thank you!
