ACNE POSITIVITY
Acne is the most common skin condition in the U.S., affecting up to 50 million Americans annually. La Roche-Posay celebrates acne positivity to spread acceptance for all skin, encourage others to embrace their unique acne journeys, and foster healthy relationships between people and their skin.
"Consistency and patience are key to using retinoids successfully. It can take anywhere from 6-12 weeks to see results. If you have sensitive skin, I recommend applying the product 2-3 times a week and then gradually increase usage until you have built up tolerance for daily use."
