Best Treatment For Adult Acne

Posted on 23. Nov, 2009 by Linda Robison in Women's Health

It’s just not fair! You finally got over those awkward adolescent years and thought you were done with the breakouts – only to find you now suffer from wrinkles and adult acne. Well, you’re not alone.

Did you know that up to 50% adult women suffer from acne and over 25% of all males experience adult male acne? And, up to 1/3 of those adults also experience body acne. So, it’s easy to see why there are so many adult acne home remedies and adult acne treatments on the market.

New studies from the International Journal of Cosmetic Science shows that is there an increase in adult acne and acne symptoms lasts much longer so acne treatments 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

While nobody is really sure of the exact reasons for adult onset acne many researchers are convinced that it has to do with a hormone imbalance…namely androgen. This main hormone is present in both men and women and can cause skin eruptions.

When our hormones become unbalanced and there is excess androgen, a surplus of oil is created which causes bacteria to grow – leading 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 causes include:
- Stress
- Poor diet
- Congested toxic liver

Herbal Treatment for Adult Acne

There are thousands of products that claim to be “adult acne cures”, but in my experience of evaluating adult acne treatments there really isn’t a “Cure”. However, there is a simple and natural Herbal Adult Acne treatment that makes sense, heals the skin, is very gentle, and treats the symptoms from the inside as well as the outside. Which is probably why it’s more effective than just your typical acne product.

I realized that when acne suffers use a combination gentle wash and topical treatment which contains a mild 2% salicylic acid (which is great for wrinkles too!!) along with Medowsweet and Spirae Ulmaria Extract it helps reduce infection, breakouts, redness, and heals 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.
