Adult Acne Treatments Differ

Many men and women escape the facial breakouts that are typical in the teenage years, only to get hit in their 30s and 40s with adult acne. Treatments often are quite simple, ranging from stress reduction or a gentle cleansing regimen to a switch from one makeup formula to another. At other times, these later-in-life pimples stubbornly refuse to respond to even your most aggressive efforts to clear up the breakout. This is a troublesome and embarrassing problem at any age. We can help!

Whether you're dealing with a few vanity bumps or a full-fledged, scar-producing acne attack, one thing is clear: Effective acne treatment for mild to severe breakouts in mature adults is different from treating teen breakouts. Read on for some tips to help you treat adult-onset acne at home.

Effective Acne Treatment for Adults

The same breakout cream or salve that worked like a charm when you were 17 won't necessarily make a dent as an effective acne treatment for a 37-year-old you. Adult blemishes require a different approach.

The first change to make is in your cleanser. Choose a medicated cleanser containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, which are more appropriate for mature skin. Second, make gentle exfoliation part of your preventive maintenance routine. Use an exfoliant product that contains salicylic acid two or three times a week to very gently remove dirt from pores. We have products at Metroeast Cosmetic to help you!

If nothing you do appears to be working, it's time to get professional help. Untreated or poorly treated blemishes, even small ones, can produce scars. And scarring can be worse in older patients whose skin has lost elasticity and some of its ability to heal. That staff at Metroeast Cosmetic Specialty can guide you toward adult acne treatments that are specifically designed to heal mature skin and improve your complexion for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
