Acne in adulthood

May 31 2021
akne

According to a study published back in 2017 in the Journal of Dermatology, a 60 percent increase in the incidence of acne in adults over a 10-year period was found. It is estimated that more than half (40-54%) of women aged 20 to 40 have oily skin type with imperfections, including acne. Factors that affect this include improper diet, exposure to environmental pollution, stress, microbiota imbalance, and hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle. Compared to teenagers, acne in adulthood is mostly localized in the so-called. In the zone (lower part of the face and jaw area).

As the signs of aging become more visible at this age, and dehydration of the skin is more pronounced (as a consequence of acne treatment) and gradual hyperpigmentation, the problem of skin care with appropriate products seems more complex. In addition, the impact of acne on mental health is often overlooked, although studies show an increased likelihood of developing anxiety and depression and a lower level of self-esteem in individuals with such problems. Vallerand et al. – British Journal of Dermatology – 2018).

Effective targeted care of such problematic skin therefore imposes itself as an imperative to maintain not only good looks but also mental health. There are a large number of products on the market for topical application on acne-prone skin with various active ingredients, including zinc due to its ability to regulate sebum secretion, salicylic acid due to antibacterial and keratolytic action, azelaic acid due to antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antihyperpigmentation, exfoliating and exfoliating properties. (niacinamide) due to its anti-inflammatory action, AHA acids such as glycolic, malic or citric, which exfoliate, deeply cleanse and smooth (which can be read in previous articles), vitamin A retinol and its derivatives that promote regeneration and smooth skin, benzoyl peroxide which acts as an antiseptic and astringent, antibiotics, etc.

For milder forms, the listed ingredients found in dermocosmetic products may help, and more severe forms will require strict adherence to therapy and a protocol determined by your dermatologist. But the writing of this text was actually prompted by the response of leading dermocosmetic brands in the form of launching product lines that combine anti-aging action with targeted action on irregularities such as acne, comedones, acne scars and progressive hyperpigmentation. So, if you are faced with such problems, you no longer have to shyly ask at the pharmacy about products that are usually perceived as teenage, you do not have to combine them with anti-age care, but there is a comprehensive care tailored to your skin needs.

Also watch out for common “acne triggers” like:

  • use of dirty make-up brushes and sponges
  • changing pillowcases irregularly (change pillowcases once a week)
  • use of expired products
  • dirty cell phone (disinfect cell phone screen)
  • insufficient water intake
  • stress
  • not enough sleep
