“How can I clear up acne fast?”

OTC anti-acne products include benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and adapalene. All are effective. However, unfortunately, all anti-acne products typically take on average eight to sixteen weeks to begin to work and even longer until they reach their maximum effectiveness. So, for now, there is unfortunately no quick fix. That being said, a dermatologist can inject inflamed pimples, cysts and nodules with an anti-inflammatory agent an bring them down usually in one to three days and can manually clean out whiteheads and blackheads for immediate improvement.

Go to your nearest dermatologist

Depending on how much your face is involved and the type of lesions (Papules, Pustules, or comedones), typically 4-12 weeks. For a more thorough evaluation, please visit your local dermatologist.
