Let’s talk about why the answer is (gently) no.
If you’ve been consistent with your routine and your skin is finally looking clear — amazing! That means all your dedication, treatments, and homecare are working.
But here’s the truth most people don’t realize:
Acne Isn’t Curable — But It Is Manageable
Acne is a chronic skin condition. That means it can’t be permanently “fixed,” but it can be controlled long-term with the right skincare routine.
The products that got you clear are the same ones that will help keep you clear.
“But My Skin Looks Fine Now…”
We get it. It’s easy to think you’re in the clear (literally) and don’t need to keep using your acne products. But acne doesn’t show up overnight — it actually takes about 90 days for a breakout to form under the skin.
So even if you stop your routine and don’t break out immediately, acne is often already developing beneath the surface. Skipping your homecare can slowly undo all the progress we’ve made.
Why Consistency is Everything:
-
Prevents clogged pores from building up again
-
Keeps inflammation down to avoid future breakouts
-
Supports your skin barrier to stay resilient and healthy
-
Stops acne before it starts — not after it shows up
Think of it like working out. You don’t stop going to the gym after seeing results, right? Same idea with your skin.
