My face gets so itchy at night... How do you all manage freckles in the winter?

How's everyone's nighttime skin care? I'm just waiting for my computer to finish updating, and suddenly my cheeks and forehead feel so itchy that I can't help but scratch... Maybe it's because it's winter, but my skin already feels so dry, but why does it get so itchy at night? I've been getting blemishes around my eyes and cheekbones lately, so I've started trying out some skincare products that target freckles. But I'm worried that these products might be irritating my sensitive skin, and I keep getting a stinging and itchy sensation. Seeing the area I scratch getting red and inflamed is already stressing me out, and I'm worried it might cause a flare-up. I wonder if I'm actually damaging my skin barrier by trying to get rid of my freckles. Is this normal for people to experience these symptoms when using functional cosmetics? Or is my skin just more resistant to them? It's so complicated to stay up late and think about it alone... For those of you with sensitive skin like mine who are concerned about freckles, how do you choose products? Do you have any tips for soothing itchiness on these dry winter nights?
