What is adult acne?

Adult acne has multifactorial causes, most commonly hormonal imbalances such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or mechanical factors like repeated friction and pressure against the skin. In adult women, lesions tend to concentrate on the lower third of the face and the sides of the neck, with premenstrual flare-ups affecting around half of adult patients, and the skin is often more reactive, showing post-inflammatory erythema, pigmentation changes, and scarring.

For a long time, acne was seen as a teenager-exclusive concern that would fade with age. Yet today, we know that acne in adult women is a common skin issue and skincare brands have been developing targeted formulas in the last decade to answer these specific needs. There are a lot of factors that may trigger adult acne: it may be linked to hormonal imbalances, such as those associated with polycystic ovary syndrome, or caused by external causes like friction or pressure on the skin.
