acne spot cream - #14733

Divya

I am dealing with this really annoying breakout, and it's got me super frustrated. I don’t even know where it came from. One minute, my skin was fine, and the next, boom! I get this huge pimple right on my cheek. Just my luck! Anyway, I immediately went to my local drugstore and picked up an acne spot cream that was highly recommended. It’s one of those with salicylic acid - thought it would work since it’s supposed to be super effective. But here I am, a week later, and honestly, the acne spot cream doesn't seem to be doing much good. The angry red spot is still there, and my skin feels even dryer now. Should I be using it longer? Or is there a chance this specific acne spot cream isn’t right for my skin type? I’ve read about other ingredients like benzoyl peroxide too but should I mix them? My skin gets sensitive, so I'm hesitating. Does anyone have thoughts on what I could do? Like, if the acne spot cream isn’t performing as expected, is it better to wait a few more days or try something else? Ugh! I just want clear skin back! Anyway, any insights would really help!!
