Adult acne is one of the many skin conditions that seem to get overlooked in beauty and fashion magazines. Sure, there are plenty of articles on wrinkle and moisturizing creams, but the sad truth is that there is still very little written about this menacing skin problem.
Adult acne is really common among healthy adult women in their twenties and thirties. If you think it’s the same as teenage acne, you may only be partially correct. Adult acne is usually related to stress and hormones and differs from the cystic pimples that pop up during puberty.
Dermatologists often treat adult acne differently, stressing the need to control the hormonal imbalance and correcting any excess sebum buildup. Clogged pores can turn into pimples, so it’s important to actively exfoliate the skin and reduce excess oil in your skin.
A good first step is to use Melapads Daily Exfoliating Pads to stimulate cellular renewal through the action of alpha and beta hydroxy acids. Melapads are pre-moistened pads that contain salicylic and glycolic acids to exfoliate your skin; and kojic acid to lighten and correct dark spots.
Depending on your skin type, Melapads are used twice daily after washing your face with MelaClenz Facial Cleanser. To further reduce breakouts, apply Replenish retinoid cream to exfoliate your skin and stimulate collagen production.
