What is even more frustrating is having to deal with acne as an adult. You probably had high hopes that acne would be a thing of the past; left behind and forgotten back in high school.

At Okanagan Skin Care Centre, we use only the most effective, safe, dermatologist-approved acne products on the market to give our patients the clear complexion they desire. Listed below is our line of acne products that can tackle blemishes at any stage and in any situation.

FAQs
Q: When will I start to see results from my acne treatment products?
A: Results will vary depending on the severity of your acne and your skin type. Results can be seen anywhere from 4-8 weeks after starting your new acne skincare regime.
Q: Can I wash my face too often?
A: There is no need to wash the face more than twice a day. If you wash your face too often, your skin will dry out and will begin producing more sebum (oil) to compensate for the lost moisture. Once the sebum starts to work in overdrive, you may notice excess oil on your face resulting in more acne.
Q: Is it okay if I pop my pimples?
A: Popping pimples is not recommended. If you decide to pop your pimples, you will be at an increased chance of developing acne scars and can even make your acne worse. By touching your hands to your face, you will be adding more dirt and bacteria onto the surface of your skin which may cause more breakouts. Also, by popping your pimples, you will be breaking the outer skin layers which will take a longer time to heal and may result in acne scars.
