How Long Does It Takes For An Acne Medication To Work?

We bet that one would be impatient in getting rid of her unwanted acne after applying an acne medication to her acne prone face. Therefore, one would expect something like instantaneous or over night disappearance of the acne blemishes on one face after application.

However, in the real world, thing does not work out in such a way. It takes time for acne medication to show its effectiveness. Furthermore, as each of us is different, results can only be seen in days and significant improvement on our skin can only be seen in 4 to 6 weeks. Therefore, it is important to continue a new treatment that we try for at least 6 weeks before we decide that the treatment is not working for our acne problem.

At the initial stage of the acne treatment, the pimples will dry up. These pimples will leave marks or pigmentation that will be visible for days, if not weeks or months. Acne treatment that we use won't have any effect on these marks as they are remnants of the acne that we have earlier. The important thing to stress here is not to touch or pick on these marks on one skin so that they will recover as soon as possible.

With the continuation of application of the acne treatment, one will get less and less acne lesions and the new acne lesions will clear up faster and appeared less red. As time passes by, the red mark will turn to brown and if one is impatient to wait for them to disappear, one can choose a fading cream to make it fades faster.

One should always stick to the instructions on the label of the medications during the whole period of acne treatment. Don't ever think that applying more in volume or more frequent will quicken the results that one seek. In contrast, it will only irritate one's skin and make her face to have more acne breakouts.

Finally,keep this in mind!

Most people fail in seeking a suitable acne medication due to the fact that they give up too early.
