First \u2013 congratulations! If you\u2019re reading this, hopefully, you’ve achieved your skin goal.<\/p>\n

And now, of course, you need to know how to maintain that clear-skinned glow and keep the blemishes at bay. Scroll to find out more.<\/p>\n

How your formula cleared your skin <\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been dealing with acne, you\u2019ve probably been using topical retinoids, most likely adapalene or tretinoin.[1,2] These are powerful vitamin A derivatives applied directly to the affected areas of your skin.<\/p>\n

Retinoids work by speeding up skin cell turnover, removing dead skin cells and preventing the build-up that clogs pores.[3] Your formula may also contain a bacteria-fighting ingredient, such as benzoyl peroxide or clindamycin.[4]<\/p>\n

It may have taken a few weeks or months to get the results you\u2019re after, but you\u2019ll no doubt agree it was worth the wait. And now your skin is clear, you want it to stay that way.<\/p>\n

Treatment, not cure<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to remember that topical treatment is not necessarily a \u2018cure\u2019. The underlying issues that caused acne in the first place won\u2019t necessarily have gone away. These could include increased oil production, skin bacteria, build-up of skin cells, and inflammation.[5]<\/p>\n

Acne, especially in women, can persist into your 30s, 40s or beyond.[6] But, since you can\u2019t know for sure that it won\u2019t return, controlling your acne \u2013 and keeping it away \u2013 usually calls for an ongoing commitment to a good skincare routine.<\/p>\n

Keep up the active treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyone\u2019s skin is different. For the lucky ones, acne will clear and not come back. But relapses are common.<\/p>\n

Your skincare expert will probably recommend that you keep using a retinoid formula.[7] So, for example, a 6 or 12-week course of daily treatment that has worked well might be followed by a less-frequent use of the same formulation.[8,9] Retinoids will continue to lighten pigmentation and improve the skin texture, which is often present due to the inflammatory process of the skin. Furthermore, they help to stimulate collagen production and reverse fine lines caused by UV radiation (photodamage) which will help improve the overall complexion!<\/p>\n

Adapalene, either alone or combined with clindamycin, or benzoyl peroxide, is the most commonly used agent for maintenance treatment.[10] We also use other ingredients that help to fade blemishes, pigmentation and inflammation, such as azelaic acid and niacinamide. This is an effective acne treatment and might be especially beneficial if you have post-acne hyperpigmentation or scarring.[11]<\/p>\n

What happens if I stop my treatment?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a risk of your acne returning if you don\u2019t stick with the active ingredients you\u2019ve been prescribed. In one study among people whose acne improved with adapalene and clindamycin, 92% had an increase in lesions at a 2-year follow-up if they hadn\u2019t continued to use adapalene.[12]<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a good idea to review your regimen again around three months into the maintenance phase to see how things are going.[13] Our Dermatology Team will review your progress every few months to see how you\u2019re getting on and adjust treatment accordingly. They\u2019re always here beforehand as well if you have any questions.<\/p>\n

Stick to a simple skincare routine<\/strong><\/p>\n

To reduce the risk of breakouts and minimise irritation, it\u2019s best to stick with a simple routine, using tried and tested products.<\/p>\n

Cleanser and moisturiser \u2013 plus your maintenance formula \u2013 are really all you need. Veer with caution with products that can irritate your skin, including astringents, toners, and exfoliants.[14] Retinoids are powerful exfoliants in themselves, and it\u2019s important to let your skin adapt to this before trying other active ingredients.<\/p>\n

Remember to never forget your sunscreen. It’s important to use it every day, even when it\u2019s cloudy, to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Make sure to apply it about 20 minutes before heading outside to give it time to absorb into your skin. And don’t forget to reapply every two hours or immediately after swimming or sweating. Also, be sure to follow the instructions on the bottle when it comes to how much to apply \u2013 it’s usually a lot more than you think.<\/p>\n

Cleansing tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Avoid the temptation to over-cleanse. Yes, you want to keep your skin clean. But acne is not caused by poor hygiene. Over-washing could make things worse and cause irritation.[15] Double cleansing is only needed when you need to remove makeup or SPF.
\nCleansing twice daily \u2013 morning and night \u2013 is all you need.[16] You should also cleanse after sweating with exercise.[17]
\nGo for products that are pH neutral or slightly acidic, to match the natural pH of your skin.[18]
\nChoose a gentle formulation that removes dirt and excess oil, without drying your skin.
\nAlways remove your makeup at the end of the day.[19]
\nLook for oil-free products and those that are non-comedogenic. This means that they have been tested and proven not to block pores.<\/p>\n

Moisturising tips:<\/strong>
\nCheck your moisturiser is non-comedogenic \u2013 that means it won\u2019t clog your pores. It should say this on the packaging.[20]
\nIf you need an extra cleanse after exercise, use your moisturiser too. But you don\u2019t need to re-apply your active formula, as long as it\u2019s had a few hours to work its magic.
\nPick a moisturiser that will help strengthen your skin barrier and reduce any irritation from active ingredients. Look for one containing niacinamide, panthenol, tocopheryl acetate, ceramides and hyaluronic acid, as there\u2019s good evidence that these are excellent at protecting and hydrating the skin.[21,22,23]
\nIf your retinoid is causing irritation such as redness, peeling, burning or a dry, tight feeling, take a break until your skin feels back to normal and increase it gradually from there. Applying a small amount of moisturiser before applying your Dermatica formula, followed by regular application of moisturiser can help it absorb into the skin more gradually. This is sometimes known as \u2018buffering\u2019 or the sandwich technique.<\/p>\n
