Why acne often doesn't fully resolve
Many acne treatments focus on reducing breakouts at the surface level. While this can be effective short-term, it may not fully address the factors contributing to recurring acne. In clinical practice, this can look like:
Breakouts returning after stopping treatment
Partial improvement without full resolution
Skin becoming less responsive over time
Acne can be influenced by multiple factors, including inflammation, hormonal patterns, and skin barrier function. Without addressing these layers, long-term improvement can be difficult to maintain.
