I was still get acne when I turned 24 after I had my daughter. I have been using it for 2 years and ive not got a breatkout since.|||Well if you wash your face, eat right *No fast foods or fatty foods* And Drink plenty of water.


Then you would see the difference!|||Theres no cure or specific age when it goes away. I have acne and I%26#039;m 18. There are signs it going away but I still get some big pimples once in a while.|||it won%26#039;t go away on its own. sad to say. in my teens i always had the clearest skin until i turned 21 now i%26#039;m fighting acne. lol i%26#039;m a commercial for proactiv. and yes i use it. not cause jessica simpson says so..she scares me. but you should try that or talk to a dermatologist first if you%26#039;re not sure.|||For some people it does. However, I%26#039;m 40 and still get it once a month or if I use the wrong facial product. Did you check with a doctor? A good dermatologist can help.|||Ideally acne disappears after teen years, because these are due to hormonal changes鈥?br>

But sometimes even if you鈥檙e older it still remains, probly because of bacterial pathogens. Try taking antibiotics, ask your physician on what dosage is suitable for your age. Other reason may be heredity鈥?and blood infection|||Voice of wisdom, let me tell you sweetie, I am 32; and I still suffer..its all about water intake. The more water you drink the better your skin will look..it is one glass per every 20 lbs; say 160--8 glasses) also vitamins, B, E, silica are excellent. The water is essential!! I also have model friends, and a home remedy is--YOU MUST WASH YOUR FACE EVERY MORNING AND EVENING!! Also IS MAKE A MIXTURE OF 1/2 WATER AND 1/2 HYDROGEN PEROXIDE on a cotton ball, gently cotton over face, and let dry, and after dry, apply moisturizer..MORNING AND EVENING!!! Also, moisturizer, same, night and morning. Another reason for the problem sometimes with adult acne, is sugar; alcohol included--and bad diet.

Goodluck|||Usually hangs out for a while, and often around the chin, and particularly around the time of one%26#039;s period! How severe is it? A good diet low in red meat, high in other protein, such as salmon, blueberries and strawberries, lots of green vegetables and green tea helps. If you need an acne line, don%26#039;t use a benzoyl peroxide line, but a salicylic acid product, such as Arbonne%26#039;s. I like Arbonne everything! Contact me with questions!

Adult acne scarring treatment - please help!?

what can i use to make them dispear!


i have an oily skin - spots mainly round chin and forehead! old acne scars are like red to black spots!





used every thing! nothing worked!


whats the best to buy from Boots in the UK|||Well, try seeing a dermatologist to get something specially for your skin type and problem. When you are there at the dermatologist%26#039;s office, ask him/her about an acne scarring treatment. Either that or you can just try doing this instead if you do not have the time:





1). Google up %26#039;acne-scarring treatments%26#039; and try to find a product for you.





2). Then Google up %26#039;most recommended acne-scarring treatments%26#039; so you can get a more accurate answer about what works and what doesn%26#039;t. (Even if it is the product the you found on Google that you think is the best one for you.)|||I saw a Dermatologist and I was given Differin cream which is the only thing I%26#039;ve used that seems to have made a difference .





I%26#039;ve tried many things and they didn%26#039;t help. Bio oil won%26#039;t help you as it just makes oily skin more oily which%26#039;ll just make you get more spots which%26#039;ll lead to more blemishes.





Good luck!|||Go and see your doctor, he/she will refere u to a dermotologist. You have to get rid of the acne COMPLETELY before you can even start to think about scar treatment.|||Bio oil has done wonders for me.


And its inexpensive. =]

Does anyone have Rosacea a*k*a adult acne?

I was recently told I had Rosacea a-k-a Adult acne. I was using products for an average teen acne that I thought I still had, but then found out it was making my skin worse with break outs because the Rosacea made my skin more sensitive. I do still get break outs...What should I be using. I have been using Cetaphil anti-bacterial cleanser and also an Aloe Vera Gel. Is this right or not? I cant afford to see a derm.. at the moment.. Need advice with anyone with this personal experience...|||i hate to admit this because it%26#039;s gross. But I was told the same thing, one doctor would say rosacea, another acne, none of the treatments would work. Finally, I discovered that I had a bacterial infection under the skin. I wasted alot of money and time only to find that rubbing a little athlete%26#039;s foot cream on my face each night for about 3 days got rid of the problem permanently. I know it%26#039;s kinda icky but if you can%26#039;t get to a really good doctor you might want to try it. It can%26#039;t really hurt.|||dont worry, clean and clear is way better. and yes i still have acne, don%26#039;t worry its only natural.|||All u do to avoid acne is wash ur face more and dun eat hot stuff or chocolate.|||A lot of people probably do... don%26#039;t worry about it. Your%26#039;e fine.|||rosacea is not adult acne. you should learn the difference because acne medicines will just dry out your skin more causing it to become more red. go to a dermitologist and get prescribed creams.|||First of all Rosacea is not AKA adult acne. They are 2 separate skin disorders. Probably why acne products are making it WORSE. Rosacea is treated with specific medications prescribed by a dermatologist. Keep using a gentle moisturizer and you can see your primary doctor regarding rosacea, you don%26#039;t have to see a dermatologist if you can%26#039;t afford to.|||You will need special cream and sometimes pills from the Dermatologist. Avoid caffeine, spicy food and alcahol. It makes skin worse.|||you need a perscription for cream that you would use twice daily (morning %26amp; bedtime)





Use luke war water and a VERY mild cleanser.





Good Luck

Will my acne clear up when i enter my adult years?

So i do know that adults get pimples





But i was hoping that it wouldn%26#039;t be as bad as it is in your teen years!





i am 15 and my acne was way worse in middle school





but i still have it....but i honestly dont want to deal with things like bacne and stuff my whole life....





i can take the blemishes once in a while...but not the constant break outs!





so over all...Will my acne get better as i get older?|||I am a dr ophthalmologist ( eye specialist).


1.Excessive oily skin





2. Poor hygiene,





3. Bacteria like propionibacterium acnes all are responsible.for acne








. Read these links for details|||Well, yes. They say that acne is a young age thing and gets better as we get older. However, adult acne is on of the contrast points to this statement. If you are above 25 and still get plenty of pimples, consult a dermatologist. He/She might advise to take Accutane medication.


You can find lots of information about this medication on google and yahoo answers as well.|||hello


there was a quote: somthing like %26quot;a woman does not born beautyful, but she learns it%26quot;


what does this mean??


it means that you can help acne disappear: use products for your face every day when you wake up, when you go to sleep, when you come from school to clean your skin


you can use clearskin, or products from garnier or other products you find in shops... try maybe natural products


if the products you use contain alcohol then it would be better to use a cream for your face too, but not a fat one... use one from olaz (i have one and i am very satisfied) or garnier


help your face!!!


Good luck|||Well. I%26#039;m 52 and never had acne in my teens. But over the years my skin has become more oily and I have it now. So. who knows.

What causes adult onset acne?

Hi guys. I%26#039;m 26 years old, and I%26#039;ve always always had really clear skin, even when I was a teenager. I used to get 1 zit every few months. 2 months ago I moved to another state and my face has been breaking out like crazy since then. I%26#039;ve tried changing my skin care (although Im still using the same basic face wash and moisturizer I%26#039;ve been using since I was 16) but I%26#039;ve added a daily scrub, a toner and sometimes I use the acne overnight thing but it just makes my face red and dry. I have dry skin and this just looks awful. Is it something to do with the move? A change in water or somtehing? Shouldn%26#039;t my skin be used to it by now? My older sister has always had acne, but her face was doing much better till we moved here. How do I fix this?!





Thanks!|||It%26#039;s possible that the change in weather and air could have an effect. There are other factors that could be considered such as a change in diet - have you started eating unhealthily or dropped a food component? There is also a chance that it may be stress related and the move will have affected you in ways you may not realise. I certainly used to get more spots at times of axnt - such as exams etc.





Your skin probably will adapt over time but you may have to go through a %26#039;settling down%26#039; period.|||You are not having acne.You need not use scrub,anti acne medicines.Use moisturizers,and mild steroid cream for a week.|||Hi there. Acne is not caused by the change in weather, the foods you eat, how much you wash, etc. but rather caused by an imbalance in hormones. I suggest to avoid using a scrub as it can be too exfoliating and harsh on your acne prone skin along with spreading acne. My recommendation would be to use a natural balancer along with pure products specifically formulated for your skin condition. Arbonne has a Clear Advantage line for acne that consists of a dietary supplement to help with acne from the inside out along with a wash, toner, and moisturizer. All of Arbonne%26#039;s products are pure, safe, beneficial, result oriented, and do not contain ingredients such as alcohol, chemicals, mineral oil, acetone, etc. They also contain nanosphere technology which helps the products adjust to your specific skin type to help even out your skin tone. To learn more, you can click on my profile and visit my website. If you have any questions, I%26#039;ll be happy to help you.|||generally, hormonal fluctuation, dietary habits....|||I%26#039;d disagree with anyone who tells you it is food (it really doesn%26#039;t help when people put out that myth, because a pimply kid who eats healthy may find their acne does not go away - leading to dismay when they expected a change in diet would cure the condition).





Is the new place more polluted?





I think pollution in the air could do it.





Maybe your skin is later to mature than most?





i%26#039;d agree about stress causing acne. Moving is a very stressful thing to do. Perhaps if you have not moved places before, it is even more stressful. Perhaps it would then settle down eventually once you are all settled in.





It might also possibly be some other skin condition that resembles acne perhaps.





Might be worth seeing a doctor / gp as dioxin can poison someone and cause some bad things like acne to appear on the face.





THere are some great new medicines for acne you might be able to get if you see a doctor.|||unhealthy skin is due abnormal keratinization this is due to vitamin A deficiency.


the abnormal keratinization leads to closure of the opening of the sebaceous(fat secreting) glands which leads to acne.


you can use a face cream containing retinoic acid(tretinoin),


or tablets containing etretinate or isotretinoin.


all these substances are vit-A derivatives|||Could be the move.....You were used to the water that you used at the old location....now you have moved this could be hard water or something to that effect. Also change in climate....that could be a factor....you have to remember you were in one place and left and moved somewhere else....so take those things into consideration....





I would go see a doct and get some help!

Has anyone tried Juice Plus+ for adult acne? ?

I had a friend or an acquaintance really, who had horrible acne, and I saw her recently and her skin is perfectly clear and smooth. She said Juice Plus+ has cleared it up. Does anyone know more information on Juice Plus+? I%26#039;m considering giving it a shot, I%26#039;ve been using Retin A Micro for 9 weeks, and my skin is alright, but I still have zits and pimples. Thanks,|||I have looked at Juice Plus+ before and it%26#039;s simply just a good combination of juices and nutrients. However, the experience your friend/acquaintance had would be because her body needed those nutrients, although yours may not be the same. The major problem with nutrition is that different people%26#039;s bodies respond differently to different nutrition and food because each one needs different nutrients overall. That%26#039;s why different supplements and nutritional aids (like Juice Plus) work differently for different people.





That being said, it is very good for overall good health and it can help to keep your body working properly. In the case of your acquaintance, her body working properly took care of her acne. In your case, the acne could be based on hormones, cleanliness, nutrition (or lack thereof), etc... without knowing what your body is lacking, it%26#039;s hard to know if this will help your acne, but it definitely will help to keep you healthy. Good luck!|||I use it in my practice to help my patients fill in the nutritional gaps of their diet. Everyone can benefit by improving their nutritional status; however, nobody can predict what that will mean for each individual. If you have acne, there are likely many aspects of your lifestyle that could be cleaned up to help you reach a specific health goal.





Juice Plus can play a part in getting you the results that you are looking for. It is a very good product with a lot of research behind it.





If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.


|||I%26#039;ve heard good things about Juice Plus, though, I%26#039;ve never used it... But, in order for anything to work you MUST understand that acne can be the result of a couple of things: 1.) hormone unbalancement 2.) toxins 3.) food allergies 4.) stress. And, that you MUST cut out all fried foods %26amp; sugar.


I%26#039;ve had good luck with Evening Primrose, but as with any herb you must take it for a couple of months before you will see best results.





Good luck.|||i have not heard about juice plus+


however my gf used to have extreemly bad acne and she used Proactiv and cleared it right up.


the only drawback is that as soon as she stops the acne comes right back.


i would suggest changing diet first.

Has anyone ever used Acnezine (formerly called Acuzine) for adult acne, and has it worked?

Do not use Acuzine! It%26#039;ll make your acne worse. Try Salicylic or Glycolic peels, they%26#039;ll dry out the acne that you have now and prevent new ones from forming. www.platinumskincare.com. This is where I get my peels from. As for Acnezine, it sucks cause I was so stupid and ordered 6 months of the product and only used two months but the company won%26#039;t even let me return the 4 bottles that I have left. DO NOT TRY ACNEZINE!!! Please trust me on this.|||Hi. Acnezine can cause some serious side effects. You should try using a topical treatment. You can find more info on http://www.acnetreatmentsreviewed.com|||You still get acne as an adult??!!!!!!!!!! Damn....I thought all that would end when you get out of your teenage years!!!!
