anti acne spot gel - #16015

Vedant

I am dealing with some frustrating skin issues and I really need advice. For months now, I’ve been trying to control these breakouts, but nothing seems to work. A friend suggested using an anti acne spot gel, but I’m honestly not sure if that’s the right route for me. I tried one brand and it made my skin feel super dry, like, really dry. Then I switched to another anti acne spot gel, thinking it would be better, but my skin kept breaking out in new spots. I’m really confused because, on one hand, I want to believe the hype around these gels, but on the other hand, I feel like I’m just wasting my money. Do these anti acne spot gels actually work for someone like me with oily skin? Are there specific ingredients I should look for in an anti acne spot gel? I read somewhere about benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, but do they really make a difference? Sometimes I think maybe I should just give up altogether. Also, should I be using the anti acne spot gel every day or just when a new spot pops up? Help me figure this out!
