How long does it take the Clinique Acne system to work?

I've been using the Clinique three step Acne system for about four days so far and its been working pretty good. It has cleared up some of my acne but I am still not totally happy with my skin. I know systems take a while to really work, but I was wondering for those who have tried it about how long does it take the system to really clear skin up?|||hi lady gaga :)





i haven't used the Clinique acne treatment system myself, but they say that you'll see visible results within 2 weeks. However, i would suggest that you stay with it at least a few weeks to give it time for the full benefits. They also say that if you alternate acne treatment products, you'll get better results. Many work for a time, then the treatment seems to fade.





To know what will work best for you, you first have to know the causes of acne breakouts to reduce exposure to it. This includes not just hormones, but stress, pollutants, bacteria, improper diet or cleansing, etc. Then you need to know which type of acne you have, there are several in varying degrees, and whether it's chronic (long-term). Once you know what type of acne you have, then you can better choose what type of acne treatment or product to use to fight it, more than short-term.





There are also homemade acne treatments you can do yourself very inexpensively, and you can take particular vitamins to help treat it including Vitamin B for acne, vitamin a and vitamin e.





The best thing to do is to learn more about it. Then you'll have the information you need to find the right acne treatment or product for your skin. Good luck :)|||like a month if u had it bad. if acne just came upon ur face (hahah "upon") then it wil work in about a week or two.|||Use it for about a month and your acne will mostly clean up except for a few pimples. Love it so much it works great!|||Here you can learn ten very simple and effective ways to get free of acne.





1. Do not press out, pick or rub your pimples. These things actually increases the sebum generation and rupture the membranes under your skin. Also, you risk increasing the chances of leaving scars on your face.





2. Clean your face 2-3 times a day with a gentle soap. It is even good if you can purchase sulfur-based soap especially for acne. If your skin is so oily, use soap with benzoyl peroxide.





3. Find out if it is because of the food. For several people, food allergy can result in very serious acne problem. You should keep away from having too much oily and spicy food.





4. Every day drink lot of water. "Eight glasses of water a day can keep acne away." says acne expert. The reason is that water can carry waste material out of our body and it really helps treat and prevent acne flare-ups.





5. If possible do not wear makeup. Makeup items can clog your pores, cause more blackheads and pimples.





6. Don鈥檛 apply oily products. Stay away from goods such as intense oil-based facial moisturizers, hair pomades, and oily cleansers.





7. Keep your face clean. Do not lay your chin on your hands or constantly touch your face. Routinely shampoo your hair and keep it off your face, particularly when you sleep.





8. Exercise moderately as it will help in blood circulation and removal of toxins.





9. Stay stress-free. Research have revealed that stress not only worsens acne flare-up, it also worsens the overall skin condition.





10. Get more and more Sunshine and fresh air. Sunshine stimulates vitamin D in the body, a necessary vitamin for healthy skin.
