Dermalogica’s new Active Clearing range is busting the myth that acne only occurs in teenagers, and providing those of us with adult breakout-prone skin solution that also prevents signs of premature ageing!

So, what makes adult acne different from teen acne?

Adult acne vs. Teen acne

As we age, our skin quality changes, and we need to ensure the products we use appropriately address these changes to ensure the best results possible. One example is that as we age, our skin becomes thinner and we are more likely to experience sensitivity. Also, adult skin also has a slower cell turnover causing a reduction in our natural exfoliation of dead skin cells. This slowing down in the exfoliation in dead cells causes the skin follicle to become clogged, and can lead to congestion or breakouts!

Dermalogica’s Active Clearing complex harnesses the best of nature and science to control breakouts and reduce the appearance of related skin ageing. Because of adult skin’s potential for skin-ageing post- inflammatory hyperpigmentation, having products that address breakouts, ageing and repair the skin’s barrier simultaneously help streamline treatment!

Best acne treatment for adults

Here’s a quick run-throughof the range:

Dermalogica Active Clearing Skin Wash
This cleanser helps clear breakouts and visible signs of premature skin ageing by reducing excess sebum which minimises the food source for acne-causing bacterias. It also stimulates natural exfoliation superficially as well as in the follicle lining to reduce and prevent cell accumulation. It controls acne-causing bacteria on the skin surface and in the follicle to promote clear skin, while stopping inflammation before it starts by helping protect the skin from environmental factors promoting barrier health and soothing the skin.

Adults with breakout-prone skin need a pH-balanced cleanser that will cleanse away excess skin cells without over-drying the skin. This cleanser will clear away all excess oils while still maintaining healthy, hydrated skin.
