Your Acne Is Not Clearing?
You have tried the cleanser. Changed the serum. Followed a skin-care routine. But the breakouts, blackheads or clogged pores are still there.
Individual treatment recommendations depend on clinical assessment.
What Is Acne?
Acne is a common skin condition that happens when hair follicles become blocked with excess oil (sebum) and dead skin cells. Bacteria and inflammation may also contribute.
It can appear as blackheads, whiteheads, pimples or deeper inflammatory lesions. Acne most commonly affects the face but can also occur on the chest, back and shoulders.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What causes acne?
Acne develops when pores become blocked with excess oil and dead skin cells. Hormones, bacteria and inflammation may also contribute.
2. Can acne go away on its own?
Mild acne may improve over time, but persistent or inflammatory acne may require treatment.
3. How long does acne treatment take?
Some patients may notice early improvement within 2 weeks after starting appropriate topical treatment. More noticeable improvement often takes 6–8 weeks, depending on the acne and individual response.
4. Will I need in-clinic treatments?
Sometimes. A customized in-clinic facial, including appropriate cleansing and comedone extraction when indicated, may help support earlier improvement alongside the recommended home treatment.
5. Can acne leave scars?
Yes. Deeper inflammatory acne has a greater risk of scarring, especially when lesions are picked or squeezed.
6. Is it safe to use over-the-counter acne products?
Yes, but they should be chosen carefully. The same active ingredient may be present in several products without you realizing it. Combining or overusing acne actives can cause irritation and damage the skin barrier.
