Not working?
The first move is usually
subtraction.
“It is not working” is five different problems, and their first moves point in opposite directions. Name which one you have, and this becomes an ordered list instead of a guess.
What is actually happening?
Three facts that change the answer
These are the inputs the ordering actually depends on. Nothing here leaves your browser.
Since the last change, not since you started. Other / custom needs about 4 weeks before a verdict means anything.
This is the line between “sensitive today” and “the barrier is down”. If it is true, it outranks every other answer on this page.
A photo in fixed light, or a dated note. Without one, “is this working” is not a question that can be answered.

In this order
Stop what may be doing harm, remove load, remove variables, then wait. Adding anything is last — you cannot read a system you are still changing.

Name the failure before changing anything
Reasonably confident“Not working” covers five different problems whose first moves point in opposite directions — subtracting is right for irritation and wrong for slow progress.

When this is not a routine problem
This desk reads product names and dates. It cannot see your skin. Stop adjusting a routine and see a clinician for: painful deep lumps that leave marks, a rash that is spreading, anything weeping, crusting or that looks infected, a mole or patch that is changing, hair loss with skin change, or any skin problem alongside fever or feeling unwell.
Cosmetic and medical are different questions. Getting the second one answered is faster than optimising around it.

Take this into a procedure conversation
If the answer turns out to be a procedure rather than a product, this carries your actives and window into that conversation.
Carries your primary job, tolerance state, active families and reassessment window. Nothing else — no products, notes or budget. That desk prints what arrived before it uses it, and turns it into questions for the provider rather than answers about the venue.

Set the date you will decide on
Most of the value of this page is refusing to change anything until a fixed date. Put that date somewhere you will see it.
