If you start acne treatments like AcneFree do you have to use it forever even into adult years?

or once you are done with puberty can you stop using it?|||Over The Counter (OTC = non-prescription) acne treatment products are not habit or dependency forming, and are generally safe to use.





The worst risk is temporary skin irritation if a particular formulation were unsuited to your particular skin type. Unfortuantely, there is an element of trial and error involved to find the treatment which best suits your skin.





However, OTC products are only treating a symptom of a skin disease of which the root cause is a hormone imbalance - causing excess sebum (oil) production in the skin pores.





Such hormonal difficulties typically manifest during times of glandular adaptation (such as during puberty) and usually resolve themselves naturally (although this may take some years).





However, some cases of acne are stubborn and persist into adulthood.


The more serious forms (such as cystic acne) may even require prescription medications from a dermatologist.





Such prescription medications can have potentially dangerous side effects and should NEVER be taken except under qualified medical supervision.|||Alison, Try eating non-greasy food. That got rid of my acne in 5 weeks.
