What It Is

Adult-onset acne refers to acne that develops after the age of 25. Unlike teenage acne, it is often linked to stress, hormonal changes, pollution, lifestyle factors, and the use of unsuitable skincare products. It commonly appears on the lower face, jawline, cheeks, and neck and may be accompanied by sensitivity, pigmentation, and uneven skin texture.
