Because acne isn’t just one problem. Think of acne as having three major components: dead skin buildup, oil, and bacteria.
Most acne treatments target only one part of that process. For example, tretinoin helps address dead skin buildup, antibiotics target bacteria, and Accutane reduces oil production. When only one part is addressed, the remaining components can still contribute to new breakouts.
That’s why I build your clearing plan to address all three components of acne simultaneously.
But targeting all three is only part of the equation. What you use and how you use it still has to be right for your acne, your sensitivity, and the stage your skin is in. I also consider lifestyle and health factors that may be contributing to your breakouts.
When you treat the full picture, clearing becomes much more predictable. Once I assess your skin, I give you an estimate of how long your specific acne may take to clear.
That’s the difference between using acne products and following a complete acne-clearing system.
