Hi everyone! Getting results from skincare isn't always straightforward because different ingredients and products work at different speeds. Some show effects quickly, while others need more time.

Here's a simple guide on how long common products usually take to make a difference on your skin!

<h3>Cleanser: Instant</h3>

A cleanser works on the surface to remove dirt and oil. You should feel cleaner, softer, and smoother skin right after use. If your skin feels tight or dry, the cleanser might be too harsh and stripping away natural oils.

<h3>Salicylic Acid: 4 to 6 Weeks</h3>

This ingredient helps clear clogged pores by dissolving oil and dead skin cells. It takes several weeks of use to see clearer, smoother skin and fewer blackheads or whiteheads.

<h3>Moisturizer: Instant to 2 Weeks</h3>

Moisturizers are essential for all skin types. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid can instantly hydrate and plump the skin, making it feel softer right away. With regular use over a couple of weeks, you'll notice less dryness, flakiness, or oiliness.

<h3>Hyaluronic Acid: Instant to 2 Months</h3>

Hyaluronic acid quickly restores moisture, great for dry or dehydrated skin. Skin should feel plump and hydrated immediately. With consistent use for up to 8 weeks, you may also see improved skin elasticity and smoothness.

<h3>Retinol and Retinoids: 6 Weeks to 6 Months</h3>

Retinol targets wrinkles, fine lines, and acne. To see improvements, especially for acne, consistent use for about 4 to 6 weeks is needed before results become visible.

<h3>Vitamin C: 3 Weeks to 2 Months</h3>

Vitamin C brightens skin, evens out tone, and reduces dark spots. Noticeable improvements usually start around 3 weeks, with more significant fading of pigmentation after about 2 months.

Understanding how long products generally take to work helps set realistic expectations and encourages patience and consistency. Remember, good skin takes time and care!
