When I first started dealing with acne, I kept trying new products every week because I expected immediate results. Looking back, consistency seems to have been just as important as the products themselves. What do you think are the most common mistakes people with acne-prone skin make, and what changes had the biggest impact on your skin?
I know this thread is a bit old, but I wanted to add my two cents. For me, the biggest mistake was over-exfoliating. I thought more scrubbing would clear my skin faster, but it just made things worse. Sticking with a gentle routine and being patient changed everything. What’s one change that helped you the most?
Switching products too fast wrecked my skin too. I stopped doing that and started checking real user reviews before buying anything new. That’s when I found skin care breakdowns, which I now use to avoid hype and stick to what actually works for my acne without wasting money on duds.
