Acne can certainly continue to pester you even if you're well over your teeny-bopper years--and it's little solace that it's more common than you think. In fact, some estimates put the rate of adult acne at one in five for women between 25 and 40. To shed some light on adult acne, Dr. Mary Lupo, one of the top pro contributors on RealSelf.com, talks about it in the Fall 2008 issue of In Style Makeover: "Women in their 30's usually have a deeper inflammatory component to their acne due to hormonal fluctuations and stress that over-the-counter remedies don't address."

Regular exfoliation can be a help in keeping adult acne under control, and Dr. Lupo recommends seeking  professional advice for exfoliating treatments like glycolic and lactic acids. She also recommends asking your doctor about laser treatments to help with discoloration.

As for an at-home acne remedy, Dr. Lupo recommends Philosophy The Microdelivery Mini Peel Pads to exfoliate and prepare the skin for acne treatments.
