Many teenagers suffer from acne. It is not always the case when acne goes away as one becomes an adult. If adults still suffer from acne, they may feel self-conscious. It can be quite distressing to live with acne. For ladies who put make-up to cover up their acne, it may actually make the situation worse. Several reasons for adult acne include stress and hormonal problems. Sometimes, medications to resolve these problems may worsen the situation.

What exactly causes acne?
It occurs when the hair follicle or the pore is clogged. When you exfoliate your skin, some parts of your skin cells remain on the skin and this results in a blockage. Skin cells block the pores and sebum is trapped as a result. Hence, bacteria will build up and the skin gets inflammed.

How can we solve the problem?
Some people try all sorts of weird methods. Some put toothpaste. Scars occur when people scratch and pick the pimples. There are many unorthodox treatments that may cause greater problems.

A lot of products found in the market help to reduce acne in adolescents and adults.The most common treatment is retinoids that is available in Vitamin A. Many products that are found over the counter can be used as well. Retin-A is the most popular prescription medication.

How do the medications work?
They remove the stickiness in the skin cell that causes the exfoliated cells to remain trapped. To prevent sebum from clogging up your pores and bacteria from remaining on your skin, you should exfoliate your skin more often. There are many acne products you can use to unclog blocked pores as they reach the sebaceous matter. You need to find a suitable cleansing product for your type of skin. Results may not appear overnight, but if you use these cleansers on a regular basis, you should be able to get clearer skin where you are free from blemishes.
