Weeks 2–4: early texture and irritation check
- Some notice smoother feel or less dryness.
- Irritation depends on the formula.
- Big changes are unlikely this early.
Weeks 6–12: where cosmetic studies often look
- This is a common evaluation window for firmness/lines.
- Results depend heavily on formulation and consistency.
- Expect subtle, not dramatic, changes.
