face fresh cream side effects - #15065
I am super worried about this face fresh cream I started using. I bought it about a week ago after seeing some fantastic reviews online for its hydrating qualities, but ever since I applied it, I've noticed my skin feels kinda itchy and there are these weird red patches popping up on my cheeks. I thought it might just be a reaction to the weather or something, but then I read about face fresh cream side effects and now I'm freaking out. I really hoped it would make my skin glow, not turn it into a mess! Like, I’m not even sure if it’s the cream or something else in my skincare routine that’s causing this. Is it normal for a product to cause such irritation? I mean, why do some people rave about it and others experience these face fresh cream side effects? Should I stop using it immediately or give it more time to see if my skin adjusts? I guess I just want to know if these face fresh cream side effects are common or if anyone else has had a similar experience? Any advice would be amazing because I feel stuck here!

Doctors’ responses
It sounds like you’re experiencing a potential contact dermatitis, which is a skin reaction that happens when your skin is in contact with new products or ingredients. The itchy feeling and red patches could certainly indicate that your skin might not be agreeing with the face fresh cream. Now, while some people do experience wonderful effects like hydration and glowing skin, others can indeed have reactions due to sensitivity to certain ingredients or allergens in the cream. It’s not unusual, and reactions can vary widely depending on individual skin type and tolerance. I would recommend stopping use of the product immediately to see if your skin condition improves; often it can take a few days for symptoms to subside after discontinuation. If the irritation persists or worsens, consulting with a dermatologist would be a good next step. They can help identify any specific ingredients you might be sensitive to. You might want to check your skincare routine as well, in case there are multiple new products because sometimes interactions between ingredients can also cause similar reactions. Patch testing new creams in a small area before applying them all over your face could help prevent future incidents. Remember to hydrate well, keep your skin moisturized with a gentle, hypoallergenic cream, and avoid any harsh scrubs or active ingredients until your skin calms down. Keeping your face clean with lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser might also help soothe the inflammation. This should provide some relief while you sort out what’s causing the issue. If there’s any sign of swelling or blistering, seek medical attention promptly to avoid complications.
