Adult Onset Skin Problems

I'm in my thirties and thought I'd left this problem behind in my teens. Why is this happening again now and is the approach different for adult cases?

Adult breakouts are actually super common and often have different underlying causes than teenage ones. Hormonal changes, stress, dietary factors, and even skincare products can trigger them. The approach for adults is often different because adult skin has different characteristics - it's less oily but also less resilient than younger skin. Treatments need to address the breakouts while also considering signs of aging and being gentle enough for more mature skin.

I dealt with the same surprise in my early thirties after having clear skin for years. When I consulted with an acne treatment dermatologist, they explained that adult cases often require a more nuanced approach. They looked at potential hormonal factors, my lifestyle, stress levels, and even my skincare routine. The treatment plan they developed was specifically designed for adult skin - effective for clearing breakouts but also incorporating ingredients that supported overall skin health. It's definitely not the same as treating teenage skin, so finding someone who understands adult cases specifically is important.
