How quickly do Acne treatments work?

The effectiveness of acne treatments can vary, but most treatments show improvement within 4 to 6 weeks of consistent use. Some treatments, like topical benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, may provide quicker results for mild acne, while more severe cases might take longer and require oral medications or retinoids. It's important to continue using the treatment as prescribed and be patient, as acne can take time to improve.

 

How can I prevent it?

  1. Wash your face gently twice a day with a mild, non-comedogenic cleanser to remove oil and dirt.

  2. Keep your hands away from your face to minimize bacteria transference and dirt from your hands.

  3. Choose non-oily skincare and makeup products to avoid blocking pores.

  4. Reduce stress as it can trigger acne breakouts.

  5. Eat a healthy, balanced diet and limit foods that may cause flare-ups, such as sugary or dairy-based items.

  6. Keep your skin well-hydrated by consuming adequate water throughout the day.

  7. Use topical acne treatments like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide if you have acne-prone skin.

  8. Apply sunscreen regularly, especially when exposed to the sun, and avoid prolonged sun exposure.
