Acne is considered to be something which only affects our youth, but the fact is that millions of adults still suffer acne even well into their 50s. One study from the University of Alabama Birmingham in the United States found that over 50% of women in their 20s suffer from adult acne, and 42.5% of men do. In their 50s, over 15% of women and 7.3% of men are still suffering from adult acne.

How Adult Acne Differs From Teen Acne

Teen acne is fairly easy to spot: teens will have numerous tiny bumps, whiteheads and blackheads spotting their facial skin. The areas most commonly affected are the forehead and around the chin, where there also being occasional bouts of acne on their chest and back.

Adult acne is a different story. Adult acne is largely centred around the lower part of the face, such as around the jawline and the mouth. The pimples and other deep nodules that we experience as adults are also larger and more pronounced than what may have been experienced during our teen years, making them all the more obvious and more difficult to cover up and conceal.
