Acne - No matter the age

As we go through our teen years our hormones are raging and we all tend to get at least a few blackheads and some of us get horrible acne for a couple of years! Hormones are to blame for the excess oil and breakouts that we experience. As we get older most of us think those annoying pimples and blackheads are long gone, but hormones are still active and constantly changing. This means we are still going to deal with the occasional breakout or increase in oil production. Hormones are just one of the things we battle with acne, so many things come into play when we are trying to pinpoint the cause. But one thing is for sure, Skin Medica really shines when it comes to helping to dry up excess oil without over stripping your skin and helping to prevent breakouts with a special Benzoyl Peroxide cream.

SkinMedica's Acne System employs therapeutic antiseptics to destroy bacteria, clean deeply, speed healing and reduce breakouts on blemish-prone or troubled skin.

• Prevents pores from clogging
• Reduces the number of skin surface bacteria, whiteheads and blackheads
• Promotes normal cell turnover, which can slow with oily skin types.
• Absorbs oil from skin surface
