3 Days After Using the Dr. Dennis Gross Blemish Solutions Acne Eliminating Gel After using the gel for three days I decided to snap another photo to document my progress. I know that real results take much longer to occur — at least a couple of weeks to a month is standard — but I could already see a difference in the redness and inflammation in my acne. While the pimples were still there, no new ones popped up and the existing ones seemed to be healing. I continued using it every night in my skin-care routine on the bottom half of my face. The best thing about this acne gel is that I experienced none of the dryness or peeling that is usually synonymous with starting a new acne treatment.
