Struggling with adult acne? You’re so not alone. A whopping 54 percent of women over 25 are, too. It’s even possible to get acne for the first time as an adult. If you’re grappling with acne, it’s likely due to:

 

1.      Fluctuating  hormone levels

2.      Stress

3.      Family history of adult acne

4.      The hair and skin products you are using

5.      A side effect of medication

6.      An undiagnosed medical condition

 

If over the counter products aren’t helping to clear your skin, make an appointment to talk to one of the dermatologists at SMD about getting you started on a skin-clearing regimen designed for your specific concerns.
