    There really is no unified standard answer. I have been doing facial skin care for almost 5 years. I have seen girls with mild sensitivity and redness during the seasons. They choose the right soothing and repairing products and strictly prevent irritation, and the redness fades in about a week. I have also seen people with recurring acne for more than ten years who used many hormone-containing home remedies. I honestly adjusted my work and rest, combined with anti-inflammatory repair + targeted acne treatment, and it took about half a year to stabilize the skin condition.

    Many people rush to change products after just three to five days without seeing any results. They always think that the skin care products are useless. In fact, this is not the case. The epidermal replacement cycle of healthy skin is 28 days. If the barrier itself has been damaged, or pigment and inflammation problems have been deposited for months or even years, the repair speed will definitely be slower. There is no immediate benefit.

    There are currently two opinions on the Internet that are quarreling fiercely. One group says that "spot lightening in 7 days and 14 days of skin resurfacing", and the other group says that anyone who claims quick results is a liar. In fact, they are too absolute. Take acne marks as an example. Fresh red acne marks that have just popped up are just dilation of blood vessels caused by inflammation. If you choose the right mild brightening and anti-inflammatory ingredients such as VC derivatives and nicotinamide, people with fast metabolism can almost disappear in more than a week. If you use this case to say that it can be improved in 7 days, it is indeed not a lie. But if the inflammation of brown-black acne marks that has been sinking for more than half a year has entered the dermis, and you say that it can be eliminated in 7 days, that is pure talk.

    Two months ago, I helped my distant cousin have her face treated with hormones. She bought three boxes of whitening masks from Moments for 99 yuan on a bargain price. After using them intermittently for more than half a year, her face became red and hot at every turn, and she also had dense rashes. When I first changed her to a repairing product with mild ingredients, she rebounded for a week, and the rashes became more frequent. I cried. I called her to ask if she had been tricked by me. I asked her not to act blindly or scribble on other things. She wore a hat and a mask when going out, and even told her to eat less spicy food. On almost the 40th day, she took a comparison picture for me and said that she realized that her apples had not suddenly become hot for a long time. It has been more than three months now, and she finally dares to put on full makeup and go out to play with friends occasionally.

    Oh, by the way, there are still many people who have been using it for a long time but have no effect. Don’t blame the product. You are applying repair cream here, staying up until two or three o’clock to watch TV dramas there, and going to eat spicy hot pot with friends on weekends. From time to time, you can’t help but squeeze your pimples and touch your face. It is equivalent to filling a pool with water while leaving the drain open. When will the water be filled?

    In fact, conditioning your skin is really the same as taking care of your damaged stomach. If you drink cold drinks and eat spicy food every day, your stomach will hurt when you eat it. It is impossible to drink millet porridge for two days and it will be all right. You have to give it some time to slowly repair, and don't always chase quick results. Those products that claim to change your face in a few days may have added many powerful ingredients, but they will cause greater damage to the skin. Staying steady is better than anything else.
