Many of us assume that acne is a problem left behind in our teenage years, but for some, it appears well into adulthood. Whether you\u2019re in your thirties, forties, or beyond, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/what-age-does-acne-go-away\/\">adult acne<\/a> is more common than you might think. Regardless of age, understanding why it happens and how to manage it can help you tackle breakouts with confidence, leaving your skin clearer and healthier.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-causes-adult-acne\"><strong>What Causes Adult Acne?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Adult acne refers to acne that occurs after the age of 25. While it\u2019s often associated with teenage skin, many adults only experience it for the first time later in life. Brio-Medical Nutritionist <a href=\"https:\/\/brio-medical.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sarah Herrington (MS, CNC)<\/a> explains, \u201cBoth may be influenced by changing hormonal levels, but while adolescent acne is due to growth and development, adult acne may be caused by other factors such as one\u2019s environment, diet or food intolerance, or stress levels.\u201d Acne has many different types, varying in size, shape, and severity. Whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, and some pustules are among the more mild forms of acne, while other types, such as nodulocystic acne, are much more severe, causing (painful) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/anti-inflammatory-lifestyle\/\">inflammation<\/a> and scarring. Both direct and indirect factors contribute to adult acne, and recognizing these is crucial to treating the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-direct-causes-of-adult-acne\">Direct Causes of Adult Acne<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Several internal and external factors can directly cause acne to flare up in adults. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Excess oil production<\/strong>: Your skin naturally produces oil, or sebum, to stay hydrated. However, when your body makes too much of the oil, it can clog your pores, leading to acne.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clogged pores<\/strong>: When oil, dirt, and dead skin cells build up in your pores, they can become clogged. This creates a perfect environment for bacteria to grow, promoting acne. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6874694\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cutibacterium acnes<\/a> is one type of bacteria that clogs pores and causes inflammation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inflammation<\/strong>: When you have clogged pores due to bacterial buildup, your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-the-immune-system-works\/\">immune system<\/a> fights the bacteria by triggering inflammation. This inflammation results in swollen, red pimples or cysts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-indirect-causes-of-adult-acne\">Indirect Causes of Adult Acne<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Beyond the direct causes, many lifestyle and hormonal factors indirectly contribute to adult acne by affecting oil production, inflammation, and clogged pores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hormones:<\/strong> Experiencing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-to-get-rid-of-hormonal-acne\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fluctuations in hormone levels<\/a> like going off <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/different-types-of-birth-control\/\">birth control<\/a>, your menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/natural-relief-from-menopause-symptoms\/\">menopause<\/a> can all cause imbalances, causing excess oil production. Environmental and chemical pollution can disrupt our hormone balance, leading to breakouts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stress<\/strong>: Stress causes your body to release <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/stress-awareness-day-boost-happiness-lower-cortisol\/\">cortisol<\/a>, increasing inflammation, which can worsen acne. This is why you notice more breakouts during stressful periods in life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Underlying medical conditions<\/strong>: Certain medical conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/pcos\/\">PCOS<\/a>) can lead to hormonal imbalances. PCOS symptoms such as weight gain, hair thinning, ovarian cysts, and irregular periods often come with increased acne.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Skincare, hair, and makeup products<\/strong>: Certain products can clog pores, especially if they are oil-based or heavy on the skin. Make sure to choose products that are \u2018non-comedogenic,\u2019 \u2018oil-free,\u2019 or \u2018non-acnegenic\u2019 so they don\u2019t further clog your pores, making your acne worse.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Diet<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/foods-to-avoid-for-clear-skin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Inflammatory foods<\/a> like those high in sugar, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/dairy-and-acne\/\">dairy<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/gluten-intolerance\/\">gluten<\/a>, can exacerbate acne. Eating an unhealthy diet can affect your entire body, including whether or not you get acne, the severity, and the areas of the body it appears.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Exercise<\/strong>: While exercise is great for your health, sweat buildup on your skin can trap oil, dirt, and bacteria, resulting in clogged pores.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Medications<\/strong>: Certain medications, including corticosteroids, anabolic steroids, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/hypothyroidism-vs-hyperthyroidism\/\">thyroid<\/a> hormones, and lithium, are medications that can cause acne as a side effect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-prevent-breakouts\"><strong>How to Prevent Breakouts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Preventing acne is often easier than treating it once it appears. Incorporating some of these simple yet effective habits into your routine can make a big difference in your skin\u2019s health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Remove makeup and cleanse before bed:<\/strong> Dirt, bacteria, and makeup can accumulate on your skin throughout the day. Washing your face at night with the right cleanser for your skin is essential in preventing clogged pores and breakouts. Herrington suggests looking for a cleanser that is gentle on the skin and will avoid irritation and inflammation. \u201cIdeally, a cleanser should be free of oils and other harsh chemicals. Additional facial products to target acne are best utilized after cleansing when makeup and dirt are stripped away, and you don\u2019t risk drying the skin,\u201d she says.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use the right skincare products:<\/strong> Opt for skincare products that won\u2019t clog your pores and are formulated specifically for your skin\u2019s needs. For those who do experience moderate to severe acne, be careful not to over-wash your face. This can dry out your skin, prompting your body to produce more oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid oils if you\u2019re prone to breakouts:<\/strong> If you\u2019re sensitive to oils, using them on your skin or hair may worsen acne. Try oil-free alternatives if you notice flare-ups.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adjust your diet: <\/strong>Cutting out or limiting inflammatory foods like gluten, dairy, sugar, or other processed foods can help. Incorporate more fruits and vegetables, especially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/benefits-and-types-of-leafy-greens\/\">leafy greens<\/a>, and those high in vitamin C and beta carotene, which support skin health.

However, keep in mind that there\u2019s no one-size-fits-all solution. Different types of acne require <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3080563\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">different treatments<\/a>, so it may take some trial and error to find what works best for you. Herrington recommends \u201cproducts containing Salicylic acid to exfoliate pores, niacinamide to shrink pores, and oil-free moisturizers [which] can help treat acne. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-to-use-retinol\/\">Retinol<\/a> creams can also be extremely beneficial for acne and signs of aging. Active blemishes can be protected with pimple patches.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Over-the-counter (OTC) treatments<\/strong>: Many mild cases of acne today can easily be treated with OTC products. Look for ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to treat active breakouts and prevent new ones from forming.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Professional treatment<\/strong>: For more severe or persistent acne, a dermatologist may recommend stronger medicines such as prescription medications or antibiotics. These can help regulate oil production and reduce bacteria and inflammation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid certain products during pregnancy<\/strong>: If you\u2019re pregnant, acne treatments like retinoids, salicylic acid, and isotretinoin should be avoided due to potential risks to the baby.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-acne-treatment-ingredients\"><strong>Key Acne Treatment Ingredients\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Adapalene:<\/strong> A type of retinoid that prevents follicular blockage and reduces inflammation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Azelaic acid<\/strong>: Works to fight acne while also helping fade dark spots that might still be visible from previous acne.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Benzoyl peroxide<\/strong>: This popular ingredient is effective but can be drying and irritating. It\u2019s recommended to start with a lower concentration, slowly increasing the dosage as needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salicylic acid<\/strong>: An exfoliant that helps unclog pores and reduces the buildup of dead skin cells<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sulfur: <\/strong>Dries out active blemishes and removes dead skin cells to prevent them from clogging the skin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Birth control<\/strong>: For some women, birth control can regulate hormones, which in turn can improve acne<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p>Sudden adult acne can be frustrating, especially if you never had to deal with it as a teenager but keep in mind that acne usually means there\u2019s an underlying issue. Fortunately, understanding the root causes can help you prevent and treat breakouts. The best thing you can do to avoid acne is to maintain proper skin care habits, make lifestyle adjustments, and understand that breakouts sometimes just happen (regardless of your hygiene or routine). It\u2019s always a good idea to consult a dermatologist for persistent or severe cases to find the best treatment plan for your specific needs. Regardless, taking control of your skincare health takes time and a lot of patience to see what works for you, but it is a manageable condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"cta-block -mx-4 md:mx-0 my-10 p-px md:rounded bg-white text-black relative  bg-no-repeat bg-cover aspect-[83\/48]\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BlogBackground_Quiz.jpg);\" >\n\n\t<div class=\"p-4 sm:p-6 w-[70%] md:w-2\/3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-2xl md:text-3xl font-display font-bold uppercase\">Build Your Supplement Routine<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"btn btn-large btn-primary mt-4 md:mt-8 !no-underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/get_started\" target=\"_blank\">Take The HUM Quiz<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having clear, healthy skin as a teenager only to suddenly find yourself dealing with acne as an adult can feel like an unexpected and frustrating experience.
