Many adults experience acne from time to time, in fact,
according to statistics adult acne affects 25% of
all adult men and 50% of adult women at some time in their
lives. For some, an outbreak often coincides with the menstrual
cycle or times of stress. For others, it is a mystery. While
it can't be cured completely, there are treatments for adult
acne that work very well.
Ingredients that are often helpful for improving adult acne
include salicylic acid, sulfur and benzoyl peroxide. For some,
these ingredients are too harsh, and they may prefer natural
ingredients.
There are many products on the market for acne, some of them
hyping so-called "miracle cures." While there are
no miracle cures, there are several products that many people
find extremely helpful for controlling acne. Below are what
we consider to be the best treatments for adult acne.
 ZENMED®
Derma Cleanse System is an all-natural,
three step system formulated to treat acne from inside your
body. ZENMED's researchers and scientists believe acne is
caused from imbalances and impurities within the body. Therefore,
they recommend beginning with an internal cleansing treatment
(Derma Cleanse® Capsules), a blend of Chinese and Western
herbs and botanicals, to detoxify and cleanse internal organs
and your endocrine system to help the body fight acne-causing
bacteria.
In conjunction with the capsules, the Derma Cleanse®
Gentle Cleanser and Gel clear the acne you already have by
removing excess sebum (main acne causing bacteria), evening
out skin tone and eliminating redness, and working to prevent
future breakouts.
What we especially like about ZENMED is that they don't just
provide a topical treatment that you have to keep on using
forever in order to keep your acne at bay. Their philosophy
is that when you treat the condition internally as well, you
can help prevent acne outbreaks from occurring in the first
place.
What we like even better is that ZENMED offers a 60 days,
no questions asked, money-back guarantee if you do not
see a dramatic improvement and are not completely satisfied
with the results. You won't find that with many products.

Avoid Harsh Skin Care Ingredients
One of the most important things to keep in mind when dealing
with adult acne is to avoid skin products that contain harsh
ingredients such as mint, menthol, alcohols including ethanol,
denatured alcohol, ethyl alcohol, methanol, benzyl alcohol,
isopropyl, and SD alcohol, and detergents like sodium laurel
sulfate. These ingredients may inflame and irritate your skin
further.
Gently Does It
The main thing is, be GENTLE with your skin. Use a light
moisturizer (you will need it, because benzoyl peroxide and
other treatments will likely dry your skin a little). Don't
over-scrub your skin with a wash cloth or with exfoliators,
that will just cause more inflammation and irritation. Above
all, don't pick at or squeeze your pimples. That will just
irritate them and the bacteria from your fingers may cause
additional outbreaks or scarring.
