    In fact, there is no standard answer. Minor surface problems can be significantly improved in 28 days, while chronic problems involving the dermis often take 3 to 6 months or even longer. The core depends on the depth and severity of the problem and whether you really cooperate with the treatment.

    After all, the metabolic cycle of our healthy epidermis is exactly 28 days. For example, some time ago, I had a small cold at night after staying up for a week in a row, dry lines caused by lack of water during the spring season, and temporary redness and blackness from the sun. I kept doing a streamlined skin care and applied repair and sunscreen when needed. In almost a month, they were basically gone, and even my skin tone became much more even.

    But if the problem has already damaged the dermis, don’t expect it to be solved in a month. I used to help a friend with her hormone facial treatment. She used to use whitening cream of unknown origin and her face was so messed up that her face was red and bloodshot and swollen and pimples broke out all the time. She was still suffering from withdrawal rashes for the first three months, and it didn't stop until the fifth month. It is almost the 8th month before the redness fades. Not to mention acne pits and old chloasma, which are related to dermal collagen and pigment metabolism, no real results can be seen within half a year.

    The two theories that are making a lot of noise on the Internet are actually quite unreliable. One is touting "whitening in 7 days and lightening in 14 days". If you really believe it, you will easily fall into the trap of illegal products. Those with quick results are often added with hormones or excessive amounts of mercury. After use, the face will be white, but after a period of time, the face will become dark and rotten, which is more troublesome; The first one is to say, "If the treatment has no effect after two months, it is the IQ tax of the product." This is too absolute. I have seen many people eating spicy crayfish and drinking ice milk tea at 2 a.m. while applying acne cream. It's strange that their face has improved. Isn't this the same as filling a pool with water while opening the drain valve. Of course, the time when the water is full is uncertain.

    In fact, there is really no need to worry about the specific number of days. Skin tone is a slow process. If you take good care of your skin every day and don’t mess around, and keep a regular schedule and don’t act like a monster, you might look up in the mirror one day and find that the skin problem that you have been bothered for a long time has almost disappeared.
