Maybe: Many of these treatments have a drying effect, which is different for each individual. Sometimes this improves over time or with moisturizers, sometimes using the treatment every other day will help. Over time you should be able to find a workable pattern of use.

Maybe: Some acne treatments may be hard at the beginning as it could irritate the skin. If it gets to irritated you might want to use the treatment every other day instead of every day.
