acne treatment ointment - #16180

Aradhya

I am really struggling with my skin right now. Acne has become a serious issue for me over the past few months, which is just so frustrating. I had a pretty good clear skin phase, but then I suddenly started getting these really painful breakouts like, out of nowhere! I tried switching my face wash, but that didn't help, so my next step was looking for an acne treatment ointment. I heard there are different types and honestly, I'm a bit lost on which one to pick. Some friends told me to go for a topical cream with benzoyl peroxide, while others suggested salicylic acid might be better. Which acne treatment ointment works the best? I also read online that some ointments can dry out your skin, and I have a bit of a combo skin type, so I'm freaking out about making it worse. Would an acne treatment ointment be effective for reducing redness or am I just wishful thinking? And what about whether I should use an acne treatment ointment daily? Really could use some advice before I snap and go for some random product that could make things worse! Thanks in advance, anyone with experience with acne treatment ointments, I’m all ears!
