The Difference Between Adult Acne & Younger Acne

Whereas adolescent acne is more common in young men, adult acne affects mostly women.

Unlike the sporadic breakouts experienced during adolescence, adult acne is cyclical and incredibly stubborn, presenting as not only breakouts and blemishes but also lingering scars, uneven skin tone and texture, a constant shine all over the face, enlarged pores, sensitivity, and dehydration.


While it can be caused by a number of factors: hormonal ups and downs (periods, pregnancy, or menopause), stress, family history, sleep deprivation, climate, pollution, and even products you’re using, it materializes in one of three ways:

• Persistent Acne: This is a form of adult acne, also called continuous acne, which has extended from adolescence into adulthood. The blemishes are almost constantly present and flare-ups occur around the menstrual cycle.

• Delayed Acne: Also referred to as late onset acne, this form begins in adulthood. Blemishes can present as premenstrual flare-ups or suddenly for no reason at all.

• Acne Relapse: Relapsing acne first occurs in adolescence, disappears, and then begins again in adulthood.

How to Reduce The Appearance of Adult Acne

In our youth it can feel easier to find a solution for blemishes as the product selection is seemingly larger. In our adult years, our skin has often been overworked by topical treatments, as well as harsh cleansers which can exacerbate dehydrated complexions. Women need products that not only help them mattify and control daily shine throughout the day, but can also provide long-term results that won’t dry out their skin. Simply put, finding skin care products that target adult acne aren’t always easy to find…until now: Normaderm
