Hi everyone hope all is well! It's my birthday weekend and I thinking to myself why at 31 and I still suffering from acne, mostly around my chin and jaw liner. I currently use Murad Acne regiment along with my clarsonic which worked for a bit but not anymore. I have oily skin and I can't keep going through this! I wanna grow up lol... Any suggestions?

Thanks, Tuti

Adult acne is quite normal I no its a pain, the chin and jaw line are hormonal Breakout areas try using products with benzoyl peroxide if salicylic acid isn't working for you also try spot treating with tee tree oil, and taking anti inflammatory supplements also helps like fish oil and flaxseed.Of coarse check with your Dr before taking any supplements

Hi Tuti,

I am in my late twenties and suffering from acne breakouts in the same places as you. My dermatologist said those are hormonal acne resulting from imbalance of hormones, so products you apply on the face are not likely to help because the problem is internal. I suggest you see your doctor for changing your birth control since certain kind of birth control can help hormonal acne. Also, have you tested for PCOD?

Tuti, I have the same problem. I'm 33 now and with the regimen I found it helps keep the break outs manageable:
2x's a day wash with Dermalogica clearing skin wash
2x's a day use Smashbox more than primer blemish control
Twice a week I use Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant, on the same days I use Glam Glow Super Mud as a spot treatment. I know how bad it can get. I also found out a lot of the issue was with using a certain primer. Once I stopped using it my skin started getting better right away, but took a year to get all the break outs under control. of course ask your doctor.

The only thing that has worked for my acne is the Clinique acne solutions line. They have foundation and skin care.
