The Science Behind
Blemish + Age Defense

How Adult Acne Forms

Acne in the adult years is often a result of hormonal changes, stress, or extrinsic factors. Adult acne forms when sebaceous glands become enlarged and increase sebum production, blocking pores and the cell renewal process. As a result, blemishes, excessive oiliness, and hyperpigmentation occur.

Adult Acne Do’s + Don’ts

DO: Focus on Anti-Aging
Acne can enhance visible signs of aging like larger pores, rougher texture, or wrinkles. Combat signs of aging and address acne simultaneously with potent antioxidants glycolic and citric acid, found in Blemish + Age Defense.

DON’T: Treat Acne with One Method
Adults may develop acne from hormones, stress, or extrinsic factors like skincare products or hygiene. Use a multi-action routine to effectively treat different triggers.

Acne Fighting Partners

Reduce breakouts and prevent future blemishes by integrating in-office treatments like chemical peels with Blemish + Age Defense. Chemical peels are an in-office treatment that effectively promotes cell turnover and improves blemishes, texture, and tone. Together, the two target acne while improving visible signs of aging.
