How long does it take to treat skin problems?

There is really no unified standard answer. In the past few years, I have helped friends around me deal with various skin problems, and I have also checked in with hundreds of netizens for real-life repairs. For minor symptoms such as seasonal redness and sudden breakouts, you can see significant improvements in two or three weeks with the right method. If you encounter problems such as hormonal face, severe acne, and stubborn chloasma that have damaged the dermis, it will take at least three to five months to see stable results, and there are many people who only fully recover after one or two years of conditioning.

My best friend Chun Min had an itchy and flaky face after using exfoliating essence for two weeks in a row. She stopped all the harsh medicines and only applied mild repair cream and sunscreen every day. In less than 10 days, it became less red and itchy. In about two weeks, even the redness on the cheekbones was mostly reduced. Some people also use the "skin's 28-day metabolism cycle" as an explanation, thinking that no matter what the problem is, it will definitely be cured within a month. In fact, this statement is really too absolute - 28 days is the epidermal metabolism rate of healthy and young skin. If your barrier is full of holes, the metabolism rate will slow down, not to mention problems such as acne pits and deep spots that have damaged the dermis. Epidermal metabolism alone will never get to the root cause, and the recovery cycle will naturally be lengthened.

When I went to the dermatology department for a follow-up visit, I met a little girl who bought so-called "whitening and freckle-removing cream" from Wechat for more than half a year and ended up with a face with severe hormones. Her face became red and stinging when the wind blew, and in severe cases, she would emit yellow water. The doctor prescribed a repair period of at least 12 months for her. She followed the doctor's instructions honestly and did not even dare to apply facial masks. It was almost 10 months before she dared to wear sunscreen normally. Before, she had to cover her face tightly even when going out.

Think about it, the skin barrier is like the outer wall of our face. It’s just that two bricks fell off the surface. Of course, it can be repaired quickly. If even the foundation has been soaked loose, why don’t we re-tamp the earth and lay the bricks bit by bit? What I fear the most is doing it while conditioning. A while ago, a netizen checked in with me to treat inflammatory acne. The old acne had almost disappeared in about three weeks, leaving only a few red acne marks. But I couldn't help but go to eat spicy butter hot pot with my friends, and stayed up all night to catch up on projects. The next day, new red, swollen and acne appeared all over my face. It was equivalent to wasting most of the previous efforts and having to start all over again.

In fact, there is no need to hold the mirror every day and count the days in the hope of recovery. As long as you don't try Sanwu products randomly, the method is to follow a regular dermatologist or a reliable skin care guide. Gradually, you can feel that your face is becoming more and more "steady" - unlike before, which was always red and itchy, and the frequency of acne breakouts is getting lower and lower. That is, you are going in a good direction. Instead, you worry about "Why haven't you recovered yet" every day, and your endocrine disorders will slow down your recovery.
