Adult acne sufferers have dry skin compared to teenagers and the multitude of adult acne products on the market reflects this. Depending on the severity of your symptoms, you can find the best adult acne medications by examining topical treatments, oral medications and the new class of holistic acne cures.

Oral medications:
Oral antibiotic treatments have been a mainstay of treating acne for
generations. Unfortunately, they don't attack the root cause of acne
which is hormonal and have no beneficial pore-clearing effect like
benzoyl peroxide combined with salicylic acid. These antibiotics can
wreak havoc on your system with little benefit. Avoid them.
Cosmetics: All of the big
cosmetic companies produce foundations and moisturizers aimed at the
adult acne product market. These often contain the common acne-fighting
ingredients benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid which can help treating
mild acne. Look for products containing 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. Stronger
formulations are not necessary and will irritate your skin. While an
adult acne product containing only salicylic acid is unlikely to do
much good, salicylic acid has been shown to increase the effectiveness
of benzoyl peroxide so a product containing both ingredients is ideal.
If you have moderate to severe acne, you will probably not benefit from
cosmetic adult acne products. Save your money!
The
most powerful oral medication for adult acne is Accutane. This is a
very effective treatment, however, it should only be considered as a
last resort after all other methods have failed. There are serious
potential side effects and you must be monitored by your doctor while
taking this drug.
Natural holistic treatments:
Today, we have a much better understanding of what causes acne than at
any time in the past. Pimples are not caused by poor hygiene, so there
are limits to what can be accomplished with topical medications and
antibiotics. There are several holistic adult acne products on the
market today that target hormone imbalances through corrective diets
and other regimens. How well do they work? Judging by the thousands of
positive testimonials, money spent on holistic adult acne treatments
may be money well spent. A positive side effect is often better overall
health that comes with an improved diet. If you have moderate to severe
acne, a holistic solution may be right for you, especially prior to
taking a product such as Accutane.?






Topical medications:
These include gels, creams and lotions containing benzoyl peroxide,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],
salicylic acid, or retinoids. These are useful in treating mild acne
but are ineffective for moderate to severe adult acne. Use a 2.5%
benzoyl peroxide gel combined with salicylic acid. Over the counter
strength retinoids are not strong enough to be effective, but
prescription strength retinoids can be effective especially when used
in combination with other topical therapies. See your dermatologist.
Salicylic acid at over the counter strengths is only helpful when
combined with benzoyl peroxide and is especially useful at fighting
blackheads that can lead to pimples. Of course, blackheads are often
more of a teen problem so your mileage will vary.
Life isn't fair, is it? You suffered through your
teen years with pimples and now you're an adult and you still... have
pimples! Unfortunately, acne can persist right into our 30s and 40s.
Some people escape high school unscathed and then, blam!, they start to
get acne just when all their friends are enjoying clear skin for the
first time. There are lots of adult acne medications tailored to meet
the specific needs of adult acne sufferers. Adult acne products take
into account that our skin is often dry - not the oily mess that teens
have to deal with. Let's take a look at some of the adult acne products
available today.
