No treatment will fix acne overnight – you must be patient. Acne is controlled not cured, so expect to use some type of medication once you have achieved improvement.

Use the medication as your Doctor suggests and you should see an improvement within 4-8 weeks. The time it takes to see a difference will depend on your acne type, your skin and your perseverance in using the medication.

Visit your Doctor for a check up. Ask your Doctor when they would like to see you again to discuss your treatment. If your acne is severe or you are concerned that your acne has not improved, you should ask to be referred to a Dermatologist for acne solutions.
