I have really sensitive skin, so I usually tend to stick to products I know or ill sometimes break out in hives. I've been using the origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask for about a year. I've gone through at least 3 of the smaller bottles and I'll use it 3-5 times a week as it's just an intense moisturizer that my dry skin desperately needs.
I put it on last night, it was very tired so it was a minimal rinse face and put on the mask as my moisturizer, as I've done hundreds of times, no other products, and I woke up about an hour ago and my face is red in patches and swollen and super itchy. It's never happened before, and I even bought the product to sooth my dry itchy winter skin and it was a life saver.
Is it possible to develop an allergic reaction? It's almost an empty tube, so I don't know what's going on. I put a cold wash cloth on it and took an allergy pill.
Also has anyone updated the bl app on ios? There's no create topic anymore so I had to use the website on my phone to post this. It seems the development team has taken all the functionality away lol...

Alyx, I've had random reactions like this occur as well! I wish I could help more, but I haven't really found any solutions.
I don't know much about Origins products, but I know the products I was using were fragrance, solvent alcohol, and SLS free, so I just kept using them. I haven't had a whole lot of problems with that.
If your product has irritants in the ingredients, I guess maybe it's possible for the effects to slowly build up over time until your skin freaks out? Idk.
There are also other possibilities as well - it could be something else externally, like maybe something you touched and then you touched your face (or internally, like something you ate) that caused the reaction as well. I would get an allergy test done if you can! If not, I would give your skin a break from the product until it's completely healed, and then do a patch test before you try to use it all over again.
And yes Alyx! I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling with the update. There's no way to create a thread, and I also can't figure out how to find threads that I've commented on so that I can go back to them! There's no "following" section! I'm very confused 😐

I was trying to narrow it down to see if it was an outside factor but I was at home all yesterday lounging around and ate tried and true period comfort foods that I've never had any problems with haha. I'm starting to think it's maybe a combination of the dry winter air, stress from Christmas and my hormones from my period. Just a weird combination I think!Maybe it just had a weird reaction to something in it. I'm still swollen though so I'm not sure, I'll be giving my skin a break and just babying it for a week or two and then I'll try again when there's no Christmas parties or anything haha.
It doesn't have any irritants that I can see anyway. I'm pretty careful about that and my skin usually reacts right away with things like that. That's the weirdest part to me, is it was after using it soooo much over a long time. And it was all over my face, just swollen, red, blotchy and itchy.
There is a way, by going into the little account thing and going into the likes section, but it sorts it from oldest to newest! As someone who's been on here for years it's super dumb, I'm seeing 2011/2012 posts lol.
They took away the categories too, I can't sort by topic anymore. There's also no way to add photos either, it doesn't make any sense to me! They really just took all the ease out of the app and removed half of the functions.

You might possibly have contact dermatitis. I am no doctor but I do have contact dermatitis. When you have it, you can basicly have an allergic reaction to anything at any point in time, even if you've been using it for years. I get full body hives at least twice a year due to this. Other times I am lucky with only a localized reaction. People with eczema are more prone to having contact dermatitis as well. Just some thoughts to think about and possibly ask your doctor about.
