You thought you'd survived, or escaped, the angst of teenage acne. But now, as an adult, you're faced with those unsightly, bothersome blemishes.
Some people find it very troubling to be suffering from acne when they're older.
And their concerns are valid ones. Among adults, acne problems are most common in women in their late 20s to 40s. But whatever the age, the process of acne development remains the same. Combined with this oil production is an increase in the cells that line the hair follicle. As these cells and oil mix, they plug the hair follicle, trapping bacteria beneath the skin.
