Im 26 and hve starte getting really bad spots. i look like a spoty teenager :-( Also hair has got really greasy. Any ideas?|||See a dermatologist. In my experience, the only things that really knock out adult acne are Accutane and birth control pills. Adult acne is hard to get rid of. Just ask Cameron Diaz. There%26#039;s not a whole lot you can put on your face to deal with it, despite cosmetic company claims.

The doctor prescribes me Minocycline tablets which work a treat. Am on a break from them at the mo, and sure enough, they are coming back!


Contrary to popular belief, it%26#039;s nothing to do with cleanliness, make up etc. It%26#039;s just blo*dy bad luck!


I truly sympathise.|||You need to take vitamin E and B12, they are good for hair and nails plus stress reducing agent (B12). Use (I%26#039;m sorry I forgot what it calls) the thing that they advertise on TV for it is the best skin conditioner and repairing agent.
