This article is right on the money. I suffered from acne as a teenager, but now I'm dealing with frequent, deep, painful cystic acne. It's a constant frustration for me, and I'm always looking for further education on the matter. All of these tips seem to fall in line with what my aesthetician has told me. Thank you!

Does anyone have a daily lotion recommendation with SPF that won't irritate adult acne, or make your skin super oily?

Very helpful... I suffer from adult acne and was having a particular hard time trying to treat it ... the products that once worked for as a teen, did nothing for my skin now.... now i know why lol.... I will def. be searching for these ingredients next time around.... Btw It would have been nice to see a few product recommendations that were a bit cheaper in price... Just saying....

I was embarressed about having this at almost 27 and i do admit to being incredibly vain. No matter what I have tried nothing seems to help and most skin care products I have got from the drug store have dried my skin way too much. I now use an all natural skin carew product by mama nature. It is an acne treatment for teenagers (well I presume so from the name) but it is by way and a far better than everything else. It has reduced the greasiness to a normal level, cleared my acne, moisturizes my skin and has left my skin feeling soft and silky to touch. Look into natural skin care products it is the best thing I have ever done in the fifteen years or so I have been using skin care products.

I don't know if I'm brave enough to use an oil-based cleanser.

I didn't know that adult acne has to be treated differently from teenage acne. I've had acne since in my teens. It was on my forehead and nose in my teens and is now on my cheeks and chin at 30. I would have never thought of putting oil on my face before especially with it already being oily.
