<div><strong>Acne is often linked to hormonal changes during key stages in a woman’s life, such as:</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>Around the menstrual cycle</strong></div>
<ul>
<li>The first trimester of pregnancy</li>
<li>The perimenopausal period</li>
<li>These hormonal shifts affect the balance between female hormones and testosterone, which can trigger acne outbreaks.</li>
</ul>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>Diet and Lifestyle</strong></div>
<div>While not the sole cause, certain diet and lifestyle choices can worsen acne:</div>
<div> </div>
<ul>
<li>Dairy, especially low-fat varieties, may contribute to acne in a small number of sensitive individuals.</li>
<li>Foods high in refined sugars or with a high glycaemic index can trigger acne by causing spikes in blood sugar and hormones like insulin, which increase oil production.</li>
<li>The goal is not to eliminate sugar entirely but to be mindful of your daily intake.</li>
</ul>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>Why Adult Acne Deserves Attention</strong></div>
<div>Acne is a frustrating condition at any age because it’s not just skin-deep; it can negatively impact an individual’s self-esteem and mental health. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>A study published in the British Journal of Dermatology reveals that acne diagnosis rates are rising both globally and in the UK. In fact, approximately 14.65% of adolescents and young adults in the UK have been diagnosed with acne.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>However, one of the most common misconceptions about acne is that it only affects teenagers. In reality, adult acne is a growing concern, especially among women, and has been on the rise for decades. The NHS reports that 95% of people aged 11 to 30 experience acne to some extent. Importantly, about 3% of adults over the age of 35 continue to deal with it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Acne Awareness Month is a timely reminder that it affects adults too. Acne can affect people of all genders, ethnicities and ages. Recognising its broader impact is the first step toward better understanding and effective treatment.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>How to Get Rid of Adult Acne: Evidence-Based Treatments</strong></div>
<div>The best way to reduce acne is often a combined approach of lifestyle changes and medical intervention. Lifestyle changes include making adjustments to your diet, using non-comedogenic makeup and skincare products and avoiding irritants such as harsh exfoliants. These changes are effective alongside seeking professional help, who can recommend the best adult acne treatments such as using medical-grade skincare and laser therapies.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>At MediZen, we offer proven adult acne treatments based on scientific research. Here’s what our most effective treatments aim to do:</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<ul>
<li>Increase skin cell turnover - helps prevent clogged pores and blackheads.</li>
<li>Reduce oil production - to decrease sebum-related breakouts.</li>
<li>Minimise bacterial growth - owers acne-causing bacteria on the skin.</li>
<li>Calm inflammation - essential for sensitive or cystic acne.</li>
<li>Medical-Grade Skin Care</li>
</ul>
<div>When it comes to acne, what you put on your skin matters. If you’ve ever felt desperate to clear your skin, you’re not alone. Many people turn to “miracle” products or use a wide range of products at the same time, hoping for instant results. Using the wrong products or too many can worsen inflammation and sensitivity. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Skincare isn’t just a luxury; it’s healthcare. That’s why medical-grade skincare is often considered one of the best treatments for adult acne. There are lots of gentle products available which help to calm the skin down and reduce irritation.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Unlike over-the-counter options, medical-grade skincare contains high concentrations of active ingredients (like retinol and antioxidants) and penetrates deeper into the skin. These formulations are fragrance-free and clinically tested to treat conditions such as acne while protecting the skin barrier.</div>
