Is my skin purging or having a bad reaction?

Hello everyone ! A little backstory on my skin type , i have oily skin but overall i have pretty good skin with the occasional breakout that clears up in about a week or so and hyperpigmentation in some areas. I have just started using a solution that is made up of 10% glycolic acid and 2% salicylic acid, I have used this solution about 3 times now ( every other night for about a week now ) the first couple times my skin had no post reactions just a slight tingling upon application EXCEPTTODAY last night I applied the solution and everything was alright untilI got my day started today I have small colourless bumps where I appliedthe solution last night is this my skin purging or a bad reaction to thesolution ? . All responses are appreciated thank you. The photo below is the glycolic acid solution and my skin condition at the moment .

That looks like more of a reaction! Most purging I've seen is more in line with a typical breakout.
