I thought that once the teenage years were over, so was the acne. Do any of you still struggle with acne and if so, how old are you? If not, what do you do/use to keep it away?

I'm 32 and I still get them. :(  I had them really bad when I first hit puberty for a few years, and then they were more sporadic, but my face was mostly clear through my late teens and 20s. Now I get a couple of huge ones when it's PMS time, and I have a constant battle with blackheads on my nose. I use ZapZit religiously on my nose every morning and night after I wash my face to keep them away.  I can't let up or they come right back. It's so gross!! lol

I still get them before a period and in the first stage of pregnancy and I use Benzagel. The funnier thing is my sister was saying the other day that I alsways had such clear skin I laughed and told her to visit me more often.

Wish I could tell y'all it gets better, but I am 40 and I still get pimples. In fact, I don't think I ever got any until I was probably about 29. I never, ever had zits when I was a teen or in my early 20's. Never. now I get at least one big huge one that looks like a giant stop sign on the worst possible place: right on the end of my nose...at the corner of my mouth, in the middle of my chin. Ugh. They are always the size of the rock of Gibralter, too.

 

I use Clinique Redness Solutions and I highly, highly endorse them. Expensive, but a little goes a long way and...oh my gosh...does it WORK. It also feels amazing.

I have had more as an adult then when I was a teenager.  I have less now, at 36, but I did have some issues with them in my 20s.

I've gotten them more as an adult than I did as a teen, starting around age 27. I like Neutrogena RapidClear.

I've actually never suffered with breakouts. In my teen years,  I use to get maybe 2 or 3 a year. When I'd get them, typically I'd put lemon juice on them before bed, used sudocream on them before bed, egg white mask, toothpaste, ect.. My older sister use to do the warm washcloth every night to open her pores and then wash her face.. I don't really know many more tricks than that!

Definitely still do. I have oily skin and that's not going to go away anytime soon lol. I sometimes use the proactiv that I have but I don't go overboard. It doesn't bother me nearly as much as when i was a teenager

I seriously just put a band-aid on a pimple so I would quit picking at it. .-.

I'm 23 and I still get acne from time-to-time.
