Why Adults Get Acne

Adult acne is more common than you think. In fact, nearly 50% of women and 25% of men over 25 experience some form of acne.

Common Causes of Adult Acne:

• Hormonal changes (e.g., menstruation, pregnancy, PCOS)

• Stress-induced cortisol that increases oil production

• Using comedogenic makeup or skincare

• Poor diet and lifestyle habits

• Gut and digestive imbalances

✅ Truth: Over-cleansing can damage your skin barrier and make acne worse.
