2. What causes adult acne?
Adult acne is often caused
by a combination of stress,
fluctuating hormones and
excess oil production.
Mature skin also has a
slower cell turnover rate,
which can contribute to an
increase in clogged pores,
blemishes and breakouts.

3. When is it time to see a dermatologist?
If you feel your adult acne is
not responding to over-thecounter treatments, it’s time
to see a dermatologist.
Topical retinoids are often
prescribed to treat mild to
moderate acne. Your
dermatologist can also
recommend more targeted
treatments based on the
severity of your condition.

4. Hormonal acne
Adult acne is sometimes
triggered by a hormonal
imbalance. Hormones can
cause breakouts by increasing
oil production, which leads to
clogged pores with bacteria
trapped inside. If you aren’t
seeing results with standard acne
treatments, your dermatologist
may recommend trying
Accutane.
