Acne is common during teenage and may continue till 25 years or even more.Femcinol A is one treatment option for mild acne and is safe for long term use.Response to treatment in acne is slow and it may take 6 to 8 weeks of continuos therapy to see observable effects and the treatment need to be continued in consultation with Dermatologist to get the best results.A single treatment may not work universally in all cases,if there is unsatisfactory response to a treatment your Dermatologist may use combination of oral medications with topical creams and gels to get optimum benefit. patience is key to successful acne therapy.
