pimple gel cream - #16623

Shreya

I am super confused about this pimple gel cream situation. I’ve always had pretty clear skin, but lately, I’ve been breaking out like crazy! Last month, I started noticing tiny red bumps and then they just kinda exploded into actual pimples. A friend suggested this pimple gel cream that worked for her, and I thought what the heck, I’ll give it a shot. I got the cream last week and started using it. The first couple of days, I thought it was helping, but now my skin feels kinda irritated, and I think I might be using too much or something. Should I really be applying it all over or just on the pimples? The cream says you should use it twice a day, but it seems like my skin can’t handle that. I also noticed some dry patches forming, which is driving me nuts. Is that normal? Maybe it’s just not the right pimple gel cream for me? I did read online that some can have harsh ingredients that don’t work for everyone. Ugh, is there a way to figure out if it’s a reaction to the gel cream or is it just my skin freaking out? I just want my skin back to normal!! Any advice would help a lot!
