    There is really no unified standard answer. Minor problems can be resolved in 1-2 weeks, while stubborn chronic problems may take 3 months or even longer. It all depends on what problem you have and whether you use the right method.

    Take the red, swollen and swollen acne on my chin that I had recently when I was working on a project for three days. I stopped staying up late, applied some mild anti-acne gel every day, and avoided milk tea and hot pot for a few days. It was completely gone in eight or nine days, with not even a red mark left. This kind of small temporary problem will be cured very quickly as long as the loss is stopped in time.

    But if you have a hormonal face that has been created, closed acne that has been recurring for several years, or problems such as old acne pits or natural chloasma, it is useless to rush. The epidermal metabolism cycle of our skin itself lasts 28 days, and the metabolism of the dermal layer is even slower to hundreds of days. Just like repairing a broken wall at home, you have to clean the broken parts and patch up the putty layer by layer before you can paint and touch up the color. If you rush the work, the painted wall will peel off in less than two days.

    I have seen many products that advertise "rejuvenate skin in 7 days and eliminate spots in 14 days". Many people think that there is a shortcut. In fact, they are either exaggerating the propaganda and relying on fake photos, or they secretly add excessive exfoliating ingredients or hormones, which will peel off a layer of your outer layer of cuticles in a short time, making you look white and tender. , in fact, the skin barrier was riddled with holes. My best friend had stepped into this trap two years ago. She used a certain Internet celebrity's quick-acting whitening essence and her skin became brighter in three days. However, within a week, it started to become red, itchy and prone to breakouts. It took half a year to return to the previous stable state, but it wasted more time.

    Of course, the speed of recovery is also related to whether you cooperate seriously. You can't stay up until three o'clock to eat spicy hot pot while applying repair essence and blame the product for not working, right? If your acne and spots are caused by endocrine disorders, then just applying something on your face will be useless. You will have to adjust your work and rest, diet, and even find a doctor to adjust your endocrine system. The recovery period will naturally be lengthened.

    Don’t think that a few months is too long to be troublesome. I know several sisters with sensitive skin. Their skin didn’t get better after three or four years of messing around. But by concentrating on simple skin care and not messing around, it took just over three months to stabilize. I didn’t even suffer from redness when the seasons change. Compared with wasting time by blindly stepping on traps, it’s much faster. After all, there are really no shortcuts when it comes to skin care. Don’t believe in the myths about quick results. Just adjust it slowly according to your skin condition. Slow is the fastest.
