Common Skincare Myths Debunked

In the world of skincare, myths spread faster than a viral TikTok trend – and many of them can actually do more harm than good. At Crème Rescue, we believe skincare should be grounded in facts, not fads, which is why we’re breaking down some of the most common skincare myths we hear time and time again.

Let’s separate fact from fiction, once and for all.

MYTH 1: "Oily skin doesn't need moisturiser."

FALSE.

Even oily skin needs hydration! Skipping moisturiser can actually send your oil glands into overdrive, causing even more shine and breakouts. The key? Choosing a lightweight formula that hydrates and soothes without clogging pores.

MYTH 2: "If your skin feels tight, it's clean."

Not quite.

That tight, squeaky-clean feeling is actually a sign that your skin’s natural barrier has been stripped. Over-cleansing or using harsh products can lead to sensitivity, flaking, and breakouts. Treat your skin gently and restore balance with barrier-supporting ingredients like Chamomile, Hyaluronic Acid and Blue Yarrow, all found in our powerhouse formula.

MYTH 3: "You only need SPF on sunny days."

Nope.

UV rays don’t take a day off – and neither should your SPF. UVA rays (the ageing kind) can penetrate clouds, windows, and even your car windscreen. Make broad-spectrum sunscreen a daily non-negotiable. Want to boost your skin’s defence even further? Crème Rescue Serum helps repair damage caused by UV exposure and environmental stressors.

MYTH 4: "More products = better results."

Less is often more.

Overloading your skin with too many actives or layering multiple serums can confuse (and irritate) your skin barrier. A simplified, effective routine featuring multi-tasking products can deliver visible results without the fuss.

MYTH 5: "If a product tingles, it means it’s working."

Not necessarily.

That tingly sensation might feel satisfying, but it’s often a sign of irritation – not effectiveness. While some active ingredients (like acids) can cause mild tingling, a burning or stinging feeling usually means your skin barrier is being compromised. Crème Rescue Serum is formulated to soothe, not stress, your skin – so you can heal and hydrate without the sting.

The Bottom Line?

Skincare doesn’t have to be complicated, but it should be informed. Ditch the myths and trust products that work with your skin – not against it. Whether you’re dealing with post-procedure sensitivity, acne flare-ups, dryness or irritation, Crème Rescue Serum is your go-to solution for skin that looks – and feels – healthy, calm, and beautifully balanced.
