Does anyone know or have any home remedies for adult acne? My friend has tried everything from over the counter facial cleaners and so forth to actually seeing a dermatologist. She has been on actutane and it did nothing for her. I am wondering if there is any types of food she can eat (other then vitamin A) foods that will help clear her skin or any other concuctions that can help. Also does anyone know of the levulan procedures? how well do they work and are they worth paying 800 dollars per treatment?

I have bad adult acne especially after my period and the problem is my acne are huge and it’s inflamed to the point that it hurts. Any recommendations to what works? I’ve tried Proactiv, but it’s too drying
Thanks.

The appearance of adult acne in people who never had acne in their adolescent age challenges the belief that acne is related only to hormonal growth, and that you can get rid of acne when puberty comes to an end.

Adult acne can prove really emotionally disturbing for people who have never had acne as teenagers and always had clear blemish free skin. It is really more annoying as they don’t have any psychological justification to justify their acne as there is for teen acne.

What is Adult acne?
Adult Acne is a widely used term for whiteheads and blackheads plugged pores, deeper lumps and even pimples, which mostly occur in the chest, neck, back, upper arms and even on face.

Adult Acne also affects teenagers and young people to some extent. Nevertheless, adult acne is not confined to any specific age group; any one can get adult acne from the age of 15 to 40.

Alright, my husband used to see a dermatologist for his adult acne. Since he joined the military, the Army dermatologists have totally messed up his skin. They took him off of the antibiotics that were working and put him on something else. It totally irritated his skin and so he stopped treatment altogether. Does anyone out there know of a good over the counter cleanser and/or acne kit that works on this kind of acne?

I am 30 with adult acne on my cheeks. When younger it was on my t-zone but now mostly on my cheeks and beginning to scar. I have been on accutane before. Cleared it up but it’s back in different location.

I am currently using combo of dial soap, tri-derma intense fast healing in morning and acnexus and benzaclin at night.

For many years the skin condition, Acne, has been associated with adolescence and those “difficult” teen years. Since most adolescents experience some degree of acne, it has long been assumed that hormone levels directly impact acne, and goes away when a person reaches maturity and hormone levels balance out. And it is true that hormonal activity does play a role in the development and severity of acne. Hormones promote the manufacturing of sebum or oil; excess oil blocks skin ducts and pores causing acne. However, many times acne problems continue on after a person becomes an adult, and sometimes these problems increase during adulthood and the child-bearing years. Adult acne is simply not as uncommon as has been previously supposed.

Adult acne can be just as frustrating and embarrassing as adolescent acne, perhaps even more so. There are many social, emotional and psychological effects of acne, which, together with the physical symptoms, contribute to a lower self-esteem. Those who suffer from adult acne may withdraw from social situations fearing that their condition makes them conspicuous. They may suffer from a lack of confidence or embarrassment due to scarring and breakouts.
