Ok, you’re finally out of puberty and well into adulthood. Thought you’re done with the breakouts….Oh, no, now what Adult Acne? Now you have wrinkles AND pimples to deal with…it’s just not fair! But, you’re not alone.

Up to 50% of adult women and 25% adult males suffer from acne. And, to make matters worse, up to 1/3 of these adults also suffer from acne on the back and chest area …this is commonly called body acne. So, it’s easy to see why there are so many adult acne treatment products on the market today.

Research from the International Journal of Cosmetic Science shows that is there a rise in adult acne and the acne symptoms lasts longer which means the required treatment for adult acne lasts well into the late adulthood – mid forties.

Obviously, this is very distressful for middle aged adults who are not only dealing with acne but wrinkles too! That is why your adult acne treatment needs to be strong but not too aggravate or dry out aging skin that is starting to show signs of lines, wrinkles, and age spots.

Adult Acne Causes

Nobody really knows the exact reasons for adult onset acne but some possible causes are blamed on hormones. Hormones and acne are pretty and the main hormone to blame is androgen which is present in both men and women.

When our hormones become unbalanced and there is excess androgen, the body begins to make a excess oil – causing bacteria to grow which leads to pimples and breakouts. Some women have found that birth control is an effective hormonal acne treatment because it lowers the hormone androgen.

Other possible adult acne causes include:
- Diet
- Stress
- Toxic, congested liver

Herbal Treatment for Adult Acne

There are hundreds of adult acne products that claim to be “adult acne cures”, but in my experience of evaluating acne medicine reviews and adult acne medication, there really isn’t a Cure. But there is a simple and natural 3 step Adult Acne treatment that makes sense, is gentle, and heals the acne not just topically, but from the inside too. Which is why I suspect it’s more effective than just your typical skin drying product.

I have found that when adult acne suffers use a combination of a gentle skin wash and topical gel which contains a mild 2% salicylic acid (which is great for wrinkles too!!) along with Medowsweet and Spirae Ulmaria extract there were able to help reduce infection, breakouts, redness, and heal the skin.

Combine this topical wash and gel with a daily dose of specific Chinese herbs like Neem, Chaste Tree, Dandelion, Milk Thistle, Honeysuckle…. The acne sufferers got better and faster results. And they didn’t damage already sensitive aging skin. Learn more about adult acne treatments and Chinese herbs here.
