Because acne is a chronic condition of the skin that can wax and wane over a period of many years, treatments occasionally need to be adjusted in order to account for flares of the acne or acne that becomes resistant to the current treatment.
Most acne treatment regimens are done on a rotational basis, meaning that you start with one regimen that works for you.
