If you are experiencing breakouts, this is normal and typically known as the “purge period.” It can last anywhere from 2-6 weeks. If it persists, you can take the following steps to manage this symptom:
- Use your own acne cream or The Spot Cream HQ Free, which contains azelaic acid to help with acne.
- Use The Anti-Aging Cream, which contains tretinoin, which treats acne.
- Discuss other options with your dermatologist: How do I message my assigned dermatologist?
