After about 3 weeks, your skin is completely new. All the old cells have gone through their cycle of growth, death and exfoliation. A farmer's field keeps the same dirt year after year. That allows excess nutrients to build up. The same can't happen on your skin. It’s an interesting theory/metaphor but that’s not how skin works.

I change products every couple of months because of changes with my skin or seasonal changes.

I think you did cover all of the possible reasons skin's reaction to one and the same product could change over time. The 1st and 3rd seem most important to me....
