In other words, if you use a skincare product to just treat the existing spots, after two weeks\u00a0your acne will not have improved. So &#8216;spot treatment&#8217; is not the way forward for you. If you want to tackle acne\u00a0in a good way you need to make sure that spots don&#8217;t appear. You do this by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>slowing down the production of sebum<\/li>\n<li>counteracting blocked sebaceous glands<\/li>\n<li>preventing bacteria from entering blocked pores and causing an inflammatory reaction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8216;Spot-treatment&#8217; is only useful in emergencies. If you wake up on the morning of your wedding with two big spots on your chin, there is probably a Dermatologist around who can inject a small amount of Corticosteroids (anti inflammatory) to reduce the swelling and redness.
