The Best Adult Acne Treatments

Stress, hormones, bacteria, diet and clogged pores are just some of the reasons adults get acne. If you don't have access to a dermatologist, there are many great over-the-counter products available. 

What causes adult acne?

Some of the key acne-fighting ingredients you should look for in products include salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid and retinol.

Acne-Fighting Ingredients

Start by purchasing just one product with any of the ingredients mentioned and seeing how your skin reacts to it. Do not over-treat with multiple products. Be consistent.
