Question:
Will I ever outgrow my acne?
Answer:
Many people assume that when the teen years slip into the past,
so does any worry about acne.
Unfortunately,
the reality is that millions of adults struggle with acne, even
into their 40’s and 50’s. And, in contrast to the
teen years, women with clinical adult acne outnumber men by a
factor of 4 to 1.
For
many, their teen acne simply never went away, staying with them
well into adulthood. But other adults may have had a brush with
acne during their teens and pimples have been the farthest thing
from their minds for decades – only to have adult acne arrive
with a vengeance.
While
the same fundamental causes are responsible for adult acne as
for teen acne, its sufferers face different challenges. Adult
skin tends to be less resilient than adolescent skin, so toleration
of acne products can be quite different. A further complication:
adult skin has a greater tendency to be dry. So, because many
acne products are drying in nature, it adds to the challenge of
treating adult acne.

can get it just right – not too aggressive.
•
Balanced Benzoyl peroxide and
salicylic acid are two of the best-documented
treatments for adult acne, each with benefits that complement
the other. The AcneRecovery System incorporates both.
•
Timed Release Benzoyl peroxide
is an excellent treatment for acne, but often hits the skin
too hard, causing dryness, redness and irritation that adult
skin doesn’t tolerate well. In AcneRecovery, half of the
benzoyl peroxide is in a timed release form, gently releasing
it over time.

Botanical AcneRecovery’s
rich combination of botanicals and nutrients provide the healthy
background environment for the skin to recover from adult acne.
