   Healing time depends upon how severe the acne is, at what stage each pimple is at, if there is an underlying infection, etc. For example, it usually takes about a week for a pimple to go through its course (no popping, no infection, etc.) If there are no underlying bacterial causes that need to be treated w/antibiotics, it usually takes about 2-3 weeks for everything to clear up. Keep up with the daily regimen even after your face is clear, but you can probably back off of the acne products if there are no symptoms of acne. Good for you for using a moisturizer, most people don’t do this – and especially good that you are using one with sunscreen. To eliminate the shine, you might try applying the moisturizer, letting it penetrate the skin for 5-10 minutes, then dabbing (not wiping) with a cotton square or cotton circle. If your drug store will not accept returns or exchanges (always save receipts) look for a moisturizer that is labeled "shine free" when this is gone. Good luck!
