Most people notice existing breakouts healing faster within 1-2 weeks. Skin texture improves by week 3-4. Post-acne marks start fading around week 6-8 with consistent use. Can I use this with other acne products? Yes, but avoid using in the same routine as other BHAs, AHAs or retinoids to prevent over-exfoliation. Works well with gentle cleansers, hydrating serums and non-comedogenic moisturisers. Is it suitable for sensitive skin? The formula is designed to be gentle, but start slowly if you have very sensitive skin (2-3 times per week) and build up as your skin adjusts. Always patch test new products. Will it help with acne scars? It fades post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark marks) thanks to vitamin C. For deeper, textured scarring, professional treatments like microneedling or laser therapy would be more effective. Can adults use this or is it just for teens? Anyone can use it! While gentle enough for teen skin, this balm is effective for anyone dealing with breakouts at any age—hormonal acne, stress breakouts, or occasional blemishes. How much product do I need per application? A rice grain-sized amount covers several spots. This is highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way. One 17g tin typically lasts 3-6 months with regular targeted use. What does it smell like? This is fragrance-free but has a natural botanical aroma from the calendula and kunzea oil—herbaceous and earthy. The scent fades within minutes of application. Who should avoid this product? Avoid if you're allergic to aspirin (salicylates), have active eczema in the treatment area, or are using prescription acne medications without consulting your dermatologist first. IMPORTANT USAGE NOTES: Discontinue use if you experience irritation. Patch testing recommended for extra sensitive skin.
