What treatments are available for acne?

Options range from topical gels and creams that reduce bacteria and unblock pores to prescription-strength treatments that target oil production. A clinician reviews your skin history and recommends the right approach for your type of acne.

How long does acne treatment take to work?

Most treatments take four to six weeks of consistent daily use before you see improvement. Your clinician may adjust the treatment if your skin has not responded after this period.

Can I use acne treatment alongside my existing skincare?

In most cases, yes. The clinician will ask about your current routine during the assessment to check for interactions. You may be advised to simplify your routine while using prescription treatment.

Will my acne come back after I stop treatment?

It depends on the type and severity. Some patients see long-term improvement after a course of treatment. Others may need an ongoing maintenance routine. Your clinician can advise on a plan if symptoms return.

Can I collect my treatment from Queensway Pharmacy?

Yes. Once a clinician approves your request, you can collect the same day from Queensway Pharmacy at 143 QUEENSWAY, BLETCHLEY, Bletchley and Fenny Stratford.

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions in the UK, affecting people well beyond their teenage years. It happens when hair follicles become blocked by oil and dead skin cells, leading to spots, inflammation and sometimes scarring. Treatments range from topical gels and creams that reduce bacteria on the skin to prescription options that target oil production directly. A clinician will review your skin history and current symptoms to recommend the right approach for you. Most patients see improvement within four to six weeks of consistent use.
