Adult Acne
Although acne and pimples are generally associated with prepubescent and teenaged populations, adult acne is not uncommon. Most adults, who survived their teenage years with no apparent acne and the lack of ‘bad skin’ that their peers struggled with are often embarrassed to discover that just when they assumed they were free from acne for ever, they have been afflicted by adult acne. Most of them are embarrassed. And also a little confused. Isn’t acne restricted to adolescents, they wonder? But the fact remains that adult acne is more common than you imagined. In fact, it is estimated that nearly 40% of all acne cure products in the United States alone are bought and consumed by adult acne sufferers.

It was a terrible time in my life. I was just starting to try to talk to girls, and looking for a girlfriend, but my terrible complexion made me feel afraid to even approach them. I don't know if it was my imagination or not, looking back on it, but it seemed that none of them were at all interested, and that no one wanted to talk to me. It might have been adolescent insecurity, but all of the acne cleansers that I used seemed to do nothing, and my self-esteem continued to plummet.
