pimples ointment - #20067

Nikhil

I am worried about these stubborn pimples on my face. They popped up about two weeks ago, and I’ve tried a few over-the-counter things, but honestly, nothing seems to work! I read some mixed reviews about different types of pimples ointment and, ugh, it’s all so confusing! Some people swear by benzoyl peroxide, while others mention salicylic acid as if it’s magic. I even bought a herbal ointment thinking it would be gentler, but my face felt like it was burning afterward. I really don’t want to keep throwing money at random pimples ointments that might not even work. Plus, I've noticed red marks left behind even after the pimples go away and I read that some ointments might cause that. Is there a certain type of pimples ointment that I should be looking into? Maybe something that’s good for sensitive skin? I just want to get rid of these without making it worse, you know? Oh, and is it true that some products actually clog pores instead of clearing things up? I’m kinda at my wits end and would love to hear what you all think, any recommendations would be super helpful!
