pimple cream medicine - #14665

Hriday

I am in a bit of a bind and need some help. For the last couple of months, I’ve been dealing with really stubborn breakouts. I thought maybe it was just a phase, ya know? But then I started to notice that even with a pimple cream medicine I got over the counter, it wasn’t helping at all! The cream has benzoyl peroxide, which I thought worked for others. It’s kind of frustrating, honestly. I tried using the pimple cream medicine twice daily, but my skin feels super dry and still these pesky pimples keep showing up. I went for a facial, figured that’d help too, but nothing changed. I don’t know if I should switch up the pimple cream medicine or try something prescribed, but I’m not ready to go all out with that yet. Anyone here had similar issues with pimple cream medicine? How long does it usually take for it to work? Should I be looking for something with a different active ingredient? Ugh, just feeling overwhelmed with all this skincare stuff. Any pointers or advice would be awesome!
