I haven't even used my treatment a week yet and the first couple of days were fine but what felt like over night I started getting clusters of whiteheads on my chin. My acne was never very bad but I wanted to perfect my skin to the best possible so my question is. Is it common for people to start using the treatment and start breaking out badly? It gets worse before it gets better kind of thing?
Yes! You will have a lot of ups and downs in the initial stages. Some people get clear then eventually breakout a few weeks in.
For me it was the same things, no breakouts for a months then out of the blue 5-6 spots came on at the same time. This is very very normal. Just need to power through and not give up.
It varies from person to person. For some it was a month, so others it was three months. For me it took about 10 weeks to get clear.
I know it is hard, but it really is best to not compare your progress to others. Everyone has different types of acne so just make sure you are diligent with your routine and give the regimen time to clear you.
