Reaction to face cream

5 replies

I've had a nasty reaction to a face cream. My face has gone stingy, red, come out with lots of white heads near the chin and is generally now dry and sore. It is slightly better than day 1. Currently day 3 post cream. I've been using coconut oil and that is cooling and moisturing it but do you have any other ideas on what I could do to speed up the healing process? And the guilty cream has gone in the bin.

What was the face cream you used? it sounds really bad, maybe see your chemist first and get some advice maybe you needsome hydracortisone cream
Possibly take the cream to the chemist too, and they might identify what the ingredient was that caused the reaction,

Kiehls will refund you if you let them know. They are excellent with customer service. Let them know what happened.

Thanks I will do.

I’m still slathering on the coconut oil to keep it moist. The redness has gone but the skin feels very dry and almost rough now.
