Pimple,oily and little dull skin
This happened when I accidentally applied expired face wash and I was wondering if I should ask a dermatologist if I could use Garnier men's products like acno fight face wash and moisturizer and turbo bright moisturizer to cure all these problems or should I use Betnovate N. Simply but regularly.

Young man...
Do not touch Betnovate N or creams like this even by chance.
Strong steroids like this will damage your skin and agents like (N=Neomycin) are potent sensitizers and cause contact dermatitis frequently.
Also avoid OTC products, home remedies & self medications along with Dr Google's suggestions 🙏
While Garnier products per se are not bad or an issue, it is always safer to consult a Qualified Dermatologist even if ONLINE instead of trying stuff.

This looks like a mild irritant reaction from using expired face wash. It is not serious and should settle with gentle care. Avoid using Betnovate-N, as it is a steroid combination and not recommended for simple irritation, especially on the face.
Next Steps:
• Stop all active/harsh products for now
• Use a gentle face wash (like Cetaphil or any mild cleanser)
• Apply a simple moisturizer 2–3 times daily
•Apply sun protection (spf50+) daily.. repeat every 3-4 hours
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution:
• Do not use steroid creams like Betnovate-N without doctor advice
• Avoid scrubbing, acne face washes, or strong products till skin heals
• Always check expiry before using skincare
• Keep routine simple — overuse of products can worsen irritation
