nitrogen cream - #14185

Yash

I am kinda freaking out here. A few weeks ago, I started using this nitrogen cream my dermatologist recommended for my dry skin, which was really bad, like cracked and flaky. At first, I thought it was working wonders, but now I'm not so sure. My skin has been really oily, and I'm noticing some weird breakouts where I didn't have issues before. Like, does nitrogen cream cause this or is it just my skin being super weird? Also, I'm worried maybe I’m using it too much or not enough? It's sometimes hard to tell if I'm supposed to use it daily or just when my skin feels crunchy, you know? And I’ve heard things about how nitrogen cream can also help with healing and social media is full of these success stories, but why does it feel like my experience is the opposite? Could this be a normal reaction or am I just overthinking it? I really want to avoid a full-on breakout, ugh! Has anyone else had a similar experience with nitrogen cream? How long should I be using it before seeing results? Any advice would be super helpful!!
