How long does it take to treat skin problems?

In fact, there is really no unified standard. Mild breakouts and seasonal redness and allergies may stabilize in a week or two. If you have a face with year-round hormones, severe cystic acne, or hereditary stubborn pigmentation, it may take two or three years to slowly return to a satisfactory state.

A while ago, I met a young girl who was born after 2000. She followed the trend of high-concentration skin-rejuvenating essence in late spring. She applied it all over her face before she could tolerate it. Her cheeks burned and she developed a small rash. She stopped all irritating products and applied repairing cream and sunscreen every day. After 10 days, her face was as smooth as if there was no problem.

There was a lot of noise on the Internet before. Some people said that based on the skin's 28-day metabolism cycle, no matter what the problem is, you will definitely see results in one month. Many skin care practitioners said that this statement is too natural - 28 days is the epidermal metabolism rate of healthy skin between 18 and 25 years old. If the skin itself has inflammation that slows down the metabolic rhythm, or it is already 30+, the metabolic rate will naturally slow down. How can we wait for improvement at the 28-day mark?

I started getting cystic acne since high school, even on my back. I used a lot of anti-acne creams from Wechat before, and almost ended up with a hormonal face. Later, I went to a public dermatology department honestly and took medicine and regular acid treatments. In the first three months, I had acne. New acne recurred, and many people around her advised her not to bother with it. She gritted her teeth and followed the doctor's instructions for care. When I saw her at 14 months, there were only a few light red acne marks left on her face, and most of the previously bumpy acne pits were smoothed away.

However, I have seen many people in a hurry to use the Sanwu products that claim to "eliminate acne in three days and lighten spots in seven days." Originally, it was just a slight problem of sealing, but it suddenly destroyed the barrier and caused sensitive skin that turns red when exposed to heat. What was supposed to be solved in a month or two, took more than half a year to recover.

Speaking of conditioning the skin, it's really a bit like raising succulents. If it's just wrinkled due to lack of water, just water it thoroughly and put it in a cool place for two days to grow. If the roots are rotten, you have to cut off the rotten parts first, let them dry for several days, then replant them in the soil, and slowly wait for them to sprout new roots and take root. Is there any fixed "timetable" for raising them?

If there is any definite rule, it's just that the sooner you find the right cause, don't mess around, and take care of it in the right way, the faster it will definitely get better. It's better than trying a folk remedy today and switching to an internet celebrity product tomorrow, which will only prolong the recovery time.
