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.
