Advice re: skin regime?

[wesleysgirl]

Assuming nothing dramatic was happening (like, I don't know, developing sores or deeply cracked skin or something like that,) how long would you continue to use new skin care products before making an assessment about whether they were working or not? A week? Two weeks? If you'd seen no improvement at all in a week's time, would you figure you weren't on the right track?

So far, I'm definitely not seeing any improvement. I don't think it's necessarily any worse (possibly a tiny bit, but I know with skin conditions you can often see things get a bit worse before they get better as toxins leave the skin etc etc.) I need input!

Absent any allergic-type reactions or persistent discomfort, I'd probably give it a week or ten days. Not more than two weeks unless I had it on good authority that the product has a cumulative effect.
