A Word about Adulthood Acne
It is a common misconception that adults do not experience acne. They can
and do! Adulthood acne manifests as persistent breakouts at the chin and
along the jaw line. Those areas should be treated as
Oily-Active/Blemish-Prone skin, while the rest of the face can be treated
accordingly. No other preparations should be applied to these areas.
