I used to have acne 2 years ago . Been on tret and clindamycin but , the only thing that save my skin was by using aloe vera soothing gel. Skin is glowing and clear finally. 2 years after this is my skin , i ran out of the aloe vera gel i've been using and i have no means to buy one because of the lockdown here in my country due to covid19. My cheeks are starting to become red. No malls are open , so i tried buying different aloe vera brand at watsons . .but i guessed it didn't worked. Now rash-like red patches developed on my cheeks and the redness is slowly spreading to places that were really smooth. Both cheeks are like that. It is more noticeable in person than in pics. Is this a bad reaction to the product i recently used? What should I do? I stopped using gel yesterday hoping for the redness to subside? What should I do?

I tried buying online , but due to lockdown, vehicles are not allowed to enter our viccinity, most of the deliveries are banned. This morning when I woke up , the side of my cheeks are really itchy and there are new tiny bumps on my temples. Also the redness of my cheeks are slowly becoming tiny red bumps.

I honestly do not understand this language but google translate helped. I know this may be a skin allergy but I am trying to convince myself that this is just skin purging. Is it not? I am using a coconut and papaya herbal soap to clean my face , then use Eskinol facial deep cleanser , then i applied luxe organix aloe vera soothing gel. This is my day and night routine, but orginally, i use nature republic alos vera gel but i ran out of it and cant buy one because they are only available on malls( malls are closed due to covid19) so i tried experimenting with different aloe gels available at watsons. Should I stop? I planned to stop it but on day 2 without using soothing gel my face become so dry and tight.

Se que esto puede ser una alergia en la piel, pero estoy tratando de convencerme de que esto es solo una purga de la piel. No lo es? Estoy usando un jabon de hierbas de coco y papaya para limpiar mi cara, luego uso el limpiador facial profundo Eskinol, luego aplique el gel calmante de aloe vera organix de lujo. Esta es mi rutina de dia y de noche, pero originalmente, uso el gel nature republic alos vera pero se me acabo y no puedo comprar uno porque solo estan disponibles en centros comerciales (los centros comerciales estan cerrados debido a covid19), asi que intente experimentar con aloe diferente geles disponibles en watsons. Deberia parar? Planeaba detenerlo, pero el dia 2 sin usar gel calmante mi cara se volvio tan seca y apretada.
Deberias de parar ese gel de aloe vera, es una reaccion al mismo y si te pica es por que es asi, si tu piel se vuelve seca, Por que no intentas con una crema hidratante?, por lo menos hasta que puedas conseguir de nuevo el gel de aloe vera, podrias usae Cetaphil hidratante o Neutrogena hydro boost, en teoria la ultima es en base a agua, entonces no te deberia dar ningun problema.
It did improve right? What I did was wash the aloe vera gel after an hour of applying. My face isn't as dry as before though there is till very mild itchiness from time to time. I will observe more for couple of days. If it becomes itchy and red again, i will try looking for other moisturizer. However the moisturizers you mentioned, i am not sure if they are available here in my community. Our resources are really limited due to lockdown. I guessed I really need to experiment,sadly
