34F, dry skin, North West Europe. I’ve been having these reddish spots/bumps on my cheeks and cheekbones for over a year now. What is it? And how can I get rid of it? I’ve added exfoliating with Anua pads and SKIN1004 ampoule foam to cleanse in the evening (alternating). I don’t know what to do? Is it my toner?

My current routine:

Morning:

1. Cleanse with Vichy Purité Cleansing Gel (salicylic acid, niacinamide)
2. Nacomi Next Level Dermo Moisturizing face toner for dry and sensitive skin (allantoin, glycerin, urea, hyaluronic acid, lactic acid, urea)

Evening (99% not wearing make up routine):

1. Cleanse with Aleppo soap with laurel
