alovera cream - #21373

Shivam

I am really stressing about my skin right now. Last month, I started using this new alovera cream, and at first, I thought it was helping my dry skin a lot. I mean, my face felt way smoother and I thought the redness from some patches was going down. But then, after about a week, I noticed these weird small bumps appearing on my cheeks. Initially, I thought maybe it was just my skin adjusting to the alovera cream or something like that. I kept using it, but they didn’t go away! Instead, it got itchy and I even saw some peeling, too. I am super confused because I always thought alovera cream is supposed to be gentle and soothing? I read online that some people can have allergies to alovera, but I never had issues with it before. Now I'm unsure if I should continue using this cream or stop it altogether. Does anyone know if this is a common reaction? Should I just switch to a different product? Or is there a chance it could get better the longer I use the alovera cream? Please help! I don’t have a clue what to do.
