Adult Acne

If you thought acne was just for kids, think again.

Millions of adults put up with pimples too, so if you’re one of them, you’ve got plenty of company.

Breakouts, even mild ones, are a medical problem and are caused by factors like genetics and hormonal changes. But there are other things that can bring out blemishes in pimple-prone adults—like stress, medication and birth control pills, which can put your oil glands in overdrive and lead to breakouts.

If you’re still suffering from acne in your twenties and beyond, you may have already tried a ton of treatments. The good news is that your best ally in targeting triggers and treating adult acne may already be in your expert arsenal: Your primary care physician or dermatologist. It’s possible that there are some new treatments since you last visited, or that the right solution is just waiting for you to try.

Call your doctor and ask about the effective duo of ingredients in once-daily Epiduo® (adapalene and benzoyl peroxide) Gel, 0.1%/2.5%.
