Sounds like you damaged your skin barrier - I’ve done that too! It’s best to stop active ingredients and switch to soothing and healing ones instead to give the weakened barrier a chance to heal again. The cleansing oil is likely fine, but a second gentler cleanser without salicylic acid would be very helpful. Then skip the other products you tagged and go straight for the cream. You could add in a cica product, a serum with ceramides, or even a snail essence to help restore a strong barrier, though! Good luck 💕

I think that BHA cleanser and 10% AHA serum are more likely to be the culprits than the cream. If you've been using them often or daily, you've probably over-exfoliated your skin. So stop using them for now, until your skin returns to normal.

Definitely sounds like good old "over exfoliation" and damaged skin barrier😅. The Salicylic acid and Lactic Acid are not meant to be used daily. Discontinue the use of both and buy some gentle cleanser and barrier repair serum, I suggest those two

Sounds like damaged skin barrier that I had last week. I had to stop using everything except gentle cleanser and apply basic moisturizer a few times a day. I wash face once a day and leave it damp before applying moisturizer the topping it off with a thin layer of petroleum jelly. Clinique is the only thing my skin could use without stinging.
