acne night cream - #17983

Ira

I am really struggling with this persistent acne and I feel like I’m drowning in products that don’t work. A few weeks ago, I tried a new acne night cream recommended by a friend, and at first, I thought it was making a difference because my skin felt smoother. But then, boom! I woke up with these big, painful zits popping up all over my cheeks and forehead. Like, what the heck? I don’t get it. Shouldn't an acne night cream help? I started checking out reviews, and some people say the same cream worked wonders for them, while others had bad reactions just like mine. I’ve even tried going back to my old routine, but now my skin feels super oily and clogged. Is it possible that my skin just hates this acne night cream? Like, how can I tell if a product is truly bad for me or if it's just part of the healing process? I feel like I’m stuck in a never-ending cycle of trying these treatments and getting disappointed. Should I just stop using the acne night cream and let my skin breathe for a while? Or is there something I should be doing differently? Any help from you all would be appreciated!
