Common stereotypes portray acne as the bane of the teenager: oily, blemished skin, exacerbated by overactive sebaceous glands, adolescent hormones, and less-than-ideal skincare routines. While adolescence is, indeed, a prime time for problematic skin, acne can persist into adulthood. In fact, acne affects 25% of adult men and 50% of adult women.
Acne is a significant concern on its own, but when acne meets aging, skin damage is magnified. When adults are battling acne, they have a unique set of age-related concerns:
- Firstly, overactive sebaceous glands results in enlarged pores
- Secondly, the skin’s texture becomes rough
- Thirdly, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can linger long after blemishes subside.
