Adult acne

3 replies

Just wondering if any one has any suggestions for adult acne. My DD had great skin through teenage years but in her early 20s developed spots especially around her chin area but now moving to her cheeks too .
she is rigorous with cleansing and has been taking anti biotics prescribed by her gp for 6 months but they don’t seem to be helping .
she had bad migraines when on the contraceptive pill and now has a coil. It’s getting her down and affecting her confidence.
is there anything else she can try? Any advice gratefully received

My DD is having some success with scar tape, but it never cures it, she manages it. And she does a good job with make up to hide it when she wants to.

I’ve started using skin + me as I started to get acne in my early 30s, 6 months in and it’s cleared up so much and my skin looks 10 times better.

Also make sure she’s cleaning makeup brushes / pillowcases etc that can be something that’s overlooked (I know I used to with my makeup brushes!).

Thank you both. I’ll mention both of these suggestions to her .
