Many factors cause acne, including genetic predisposition, oil production, and hormone levels. The factors in life that cause a person to get acne will probably remain essentially unchanged. If an acne medication has been successful in controlling breakouts and then is no longer used, the acne certainly won't instantly return. However, over time the factors and conditions that cause acne can once again become optimal for acne breakouts. Unless other changes occur in life, some of those skin condition factors may cause acne to return.
The good news is that those medications that previously worked well in controlling acne should work well again. |
