Soap for face washing.

Hi, I was wondering of anyone else noticed that and if so maybe someone can explain how does sit work..

So, ive always had acne prone skin, quite oily. Ive used every anti acne product as a teen, then in my easrly 20 i caked on makeup, in my late 20s I eased off makeup and experimented with different routines. I my 30 i become so bored with all produts that make me look worse i reverted to soap and eurecin atopi something cream.. and my skin never ever looked better.

I use regular bar of soap. In the evening, once q day and then I put a ton of cream on and marinate in it. In the morning i use water and more cream.

I tried all sort of acids, vit C and others, retinols, retinoid, hyaluronic acid literally everything made me break out or turn lobster red.. even coconut oil. I bought expensive and cheap creams, all gave opposite results.

Isnt it strange? Why does it happen like that?
