Once I start managing acne, would it be better to keep my skincare routine simple at home?

I'm the type of person who keeps adding things whenever my skin gets worse lol

If I get breakouts, I buy another soothing product; if my skin is dry, I add a cream; and if my skin texture looks rough, I find myself looking for yet another product.

As a result, at some point, I ended up applying too many products morning and evening.

At first, I thought my skin would improve if I diligently did this and that, but lately I’ve been thinking that touching it too much might actually be the problem.

So, I'm curious how to manage acne skin at home once you start taking care of it.

During the treatment period, do many people actually keep things simple, leaving only the basics like cleansing and moisturizing?

I often use exfoliating products and have several functional skincare items, but I feel like I should take a break from them for a while right after getting acne treatment.

I'm wondering if there are times when it's better to just avoid touching my skin as much as possible on days when it feels sensitive, rather than applying a lot of soothing products unconditionally.

Also, while receiving treatment, can I discuss the products I use at home as well?

It’s not that the products I use are necessarily bad, but I’d like to check if there are any steps in my routine that are too excessive for my current skin condition.

If there are any of you who have consistently received acne treatments and simplified your home care routine, I am curious to know if your skin has felt more comfortable.

Honestly, I'm getting a bit tired of having to apply multiple products every day lol.

I think it would be better to only get what is necessary at the dermatologist and stick to the basics at home to maintain the results for a long time.

I am also curious if you should avoid scrubs or harsh exfoliation for a few days after the treatment.

I would like to know if there is a home care habit you eventually settled on while receiving acne treatment.

On the other hand, please let me know if there are any things you worked hard at at first thinking they would be good, but quit because you realized they weren't really necessary haha.
