It's a common misconception that only teenagers or adolescents can get acne, but the truth is that literally anyone can have problem with acne.
Most of the time it's just teenagers because they are going through puberty and their hormone levels are constantly fluctuating, causing oils to be produced which leak into the thousands of tiny pores in the skin, clogging them up and causing those annoying pimples and zits to form.
Although hormone levels are the main cause of acne, they aren't the only one.
Adults who have had problems with acne as adolescents can find that their pimples are returning because they didn't treat their acne in the proper way when they had it.
Even though adult acne can sometimes be tricky to treat, there are plenty of ways you can go about finding a cure.
Sometimes over-the-counter products such as creams, lotions, and ointments work for adult acne, but not always.
Adult acne is similar to acne experienced by adolescents in that it can be stubborn and resistant to traditional methods of treatments like topical products.
The best thing you can do is to see a dermatologist who will give you ideas on ways to treat it, products to purchase, and may even prescribe you some antibiotic pills which are powerful oral medications designed to clear your skin in a quick and efficient way.
The key to finding a treatment that works is to just stay patient and keep trying till you find something that works for your specific acne/skin type.
