Why Your Skin Doesn’t Respond — Despite Using So Many ProductsBy Dr. Sarah Habib — Consultant Dermatologist, Novocare International Hospital, SargodhaDo you have a shelf full of skincare products but still see no results?Here’s why your skin might be “silent” despite all your efforts:1️⃣ Wrong diagnosis – Not every spot, bump, or patch is the same. Treating pigmentation as acne, or dryness as sensitivity, can make skin worse.2️⃣ Too many actives – Overusing strong ingredients (like acids, retinol, or vitamin C) can irritate the skin barrier, making it more reactive and less responsive.3️⃣ Skipping sunblock – Without sun protection, even the best serums lose their magic. UV damage undoes weeks of progress.4️⃣ Product hopping – Constantly changing products means your skin never gets the chance to adjust and show results.5️⃣ Ignoring internal health – Hormonal imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, and stress often reflect on skin health. Skincare works best alongside healthy habits.6️⃣ Fake or expired products – Counterfeit skincare can cause more harm than good and won’t deliver the promised results.💡 Dermatologist’s Tip: The right treatment starts with the right diagnosis. A tailored routine is far more effective than a cabinet full of mismatched products.
