    There is really no unified standard. A minor problem may disappear in 1-2 weeks, while a serious chronic problem may take 3 months to a year or even longer. It all depends on what problem you have and whether you have stepped into the trap of conditioning. A while ago, I helped an intern from the same company to take care of the seasonal redness. When the temperature dropped last week, the little girl wore less clothes and rode an electric car to get off work. After two days of wind blowing, her face became dry and itchy, and she also developed a dense rash. Fortunately, she had not used any strange skin care products before, and she only lightly used them. The barrier was damaged, so I asked her to stop using soap-based cleansers and whitening and anti-aging essences, and use a mild repairing cream and sunscreen every day. She even chose the softest ear strap type mask to avoid rubbing her face. In less than 10 days, she came to me and told me that her face was no longer red, and it no longer felt rough to the touch.

    But if you encounter severe acne that has been recurring for three or four years, or a hormonal face caused by using unidentified micro-commercial products, it is not something that can be solved in a few weeks. A sister who does skin care in my circle of friends reported to me that she had bought a whitening and rejuvenating kit for tens of dollars for a cheap price. When she used it, her face whitened quickly, and her acne broke out red and itchy as soon as she stopped using it. After she was diagnosed with hormone dependence, she took care of it on and off for almost a year before she finally dared to switch to a regular brand of skin care products. In the meantime, she took medicine for half a year according to the doctor's instructions. She even dared to drink her favorite pearl milk tea only once a month. She was so greedy.

    Nowadays, there are always people on the Internet saying that "a 28-day skin metabolism cycle can solve all problems." This is really true. 28 days is just the epidermal metabolism cycle of healthy and young skin. If your problem has damaged the dermis, such as old acne pits and deep chloasma, the metabolism rate is much slower than that of healthy skin. How can you see obvious changes in a month? I have stepped into this pitfall of quick success before. I had a cleft lip the summer before last year. I thought it was too slow to adjust it slowly, so I followed the trend and added a high-concentration fruit acid essence and applied it for three days. The cleft lip burst out, and my whole face turned red like a cooked shrimp. I expected that the cleft lip could be cured in half a month, but I added an extra month of barrier repair period, but in total, I lost more time.

    I don’t say this to create anxiety for you. In fact, most common minor problems can be improved within the expected time as long as you look in the right direction and don’t mess around. For example, if you occasionally get red and swollen acne caused by eating hot pot, you can apply a reliable anti-acne cream in three or four days and it will disappear. The inflammation will disappear and the red acne marks left behind. If you use sun protection and use some mild whitening essence, it will be gone in 1-2 months. If it becomes a black acne mark after being exposed to the sun for a long time, it may take 3-6 months to slowly fade away. As for the sunken acne pits that have already formed, applying skin care products is basically useless. You need to undergo a fractional medical aesthetic treatment. You can see the effect of lightening the acne pits after just one treatment. However, if you want it to be completely close to the state of normal skin, you have to do it three or five times according to the course of treatment.

    There is really no need to stare at the number "how many days it will take to get better" and look for changes in the mirror every day. Emotional anxiety will affect the endocrine system and slow down the speed of recovery. If you are really unsure, go to the dermatology department of a regular hospital and register for a consultation. Follow the doctor's plan. Less blindly following the trend and using Internet celebrity products, less being a monster is better than anything else~
