Yes, the start of an active treatment (whether a drug or dermo-cosmetic) can act as a trigger for a breakout. Under its effect, a large number of spots, previously dormant under the skin, emerge at the same time. This causes the phenomenon of a "flare-up" (an explosion or exacerbation of pimples). Treatment should be continued in all cases, because the next phase will allow for the rapid exhaustion of the "embryo stock” of spots.This will help to keep blemishes to a minimum.
In case of discomfort, use can be reduced to once a day.
