Acne FAQ by Dr. Howard Murad: Is My Treatment Working?

"I use my acne products religiously and while they seem to make pimples fade, new acne always appears anyway. Does this mean my treatment is not working?"

Yes, if blemishes keep cropping up you need to change something. Your treatment should not only clear up your acne, but also help prevent future breakouts. A truly beneficial regimen should clear skin while also improving the health of your skin, and should include exfoliating ingredients such as retinol and salicylic acid to help prevent excess cell production, a hydrating ingredient to prevent dehydration, anti-inflammatory ingredients to reduce redness and antioxidants to protect from future damage.
