skin pimple remove cream - #15183

Pari

I am really struggling with these skin pimples that just won't go away. Like, I've tried everything! Last month I tried this new skin pimple remove cream that I saw online which promised fast results. I used it religiously for a week, but honestly, it just made my skin feel so dry and irritated. Then I thought maybe it was my moisturizer acting up, so I switched it, but nope! The skin pimples are still there. I’ve read reviews where people rave about this one brand’s skin pimple remove cream, but then I read some who said it broke them out even more. Ugh, I kinda wish I didn't try those DIY masks too — I thought honey would help, but it just made things worse. Now, my skin looks worse than before! What's the deal with these skin pimples? Am I using the wrong kind of skin pimple remove cream? Should I just give my skin a break and let it heal? I feel like I’m going in circles here and getting really frustrated cause I just wanna clear up my skin! If anyone has any tips or experiences with a legit skin pimple remove cream that worked for them, I would really appreciate it!

Doctors’ responses

Skin pimples can be hugely frustrating, especially when what you’re trying doesn’t seem to work. The deal with skin pimple creams is, they’re often hit-or-miss, as individual skin types and sensitivities vary widely. A cream causing dryness or irritation is typically rich in active ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, which are commonly used to treat acne but can dry out or irritate sensitive skin. If you find your skin becoming dry or irritated, it might be a sign to switch to a milder formulation. Instead of trying more creams, consider visiting a dermatologist for advice tailored specifically to your skin type. They may recommend a prescription medication that could be more effective.

In the meantime, keeping your skin care routine simple can help. Gently cleanse your face, use a light, non-comedogenic moisturizer, and avoid any product that causes stinging or redness. Also, give your skin a bit of a break from new products or DIY masks that can be harsh or irritating. These could be disrupting your skin’s barrier and making things worse.

When it comes to DIY remedies like honey masks, results can vary and they don’t always work for everyone. Some might find them soothing, but if they worsen your condition, it’s good to put them on hold. Another point to consider is if you’re dealing with acne, it’s not just about the cream. Look at lifestyle factors like diet, stress, or hormonal changes, which could also be influencing your skin’s condition.

If your skin appears stubborn or seems to be reacting, definitely seek out professional guidance rather than continue experimenting with over-the-counter products. A dermatologist can help manage your acne effectively and suggest treatments that avoid drying out your skin. Prioritize finding out the underlying cause of the breakouts for more targeted treatment options.
