The Science Behind
How Adult Acne Forms
Acne in the adult years is often a result of hormonal changes, stress, or extrinsic factors. Adult acne forms when sebaceous glands become enlarged and increase sebum production, blocking pores and the cell renewal process. As a result, blemishes, excessive oiliness, and hyperpigmentation occur.
Adult Acne Do’s + Don’ts
DO: Focus on Anti-Aging
Acne can enhance visible signs of aging like larger pores, rougher texture, or wrinkles. Combat signs of aging and address acne simultaneously with potent antioxidants glycolic and citric acid, found in LHA Serum.
DON’T: Treat Acne with One Method
Adults may develop acne from hormones, stress, or extrinsic factors like skincare products or hygiene. Use a multi-action routine to effectively treat different triggers.
Acne Fighting Partners
Reduce breakouts and prevent future blemishes by integrating in-office treatments like chemical peels with LHA Serum. Chemical peels are an in-office treatment that effectively promotes cell turnover and improves blemishes, texture, and tone. Together, the two target acne while improving visible signs of aging.
Physician's Insight
"LHA Serum provides an elegant and effective option for my mature patients who still suffer from acne. It not only resolves their acne, it simultaneously reduces oiliness, unclogs pores, brightens skin color, and improves fine lines and skin texture. This light serum layers nicely with the other SkinCeuticals products my patients are using in order to prevent signs of aging.”
