Skincare retailer launches its ‘Acne at Every Age’ 2026 Report, with a mission to challenge outdated perceptions of acne and highlight the emotional, financial, and educational gaps surrounding acne across all life stages.
Long misunderstood as a teenage concern, acne affects people well into adulthood—from hormonal changes and pregnancy, to menopause, to lifestyle-related triggers. Yet public understanding, education, and representation have not evolved at the same pace.
The findings within this report fuel Face the Future’s ‘Acne At Every Age’ campaign, which aims to improve education around acne causes, reduce skincare overwhelm, and empower consumers to treat acne with confidence rather than confusion.
The report explores the realities of living with acne in the UK, such as skincare overwhelm and misplaced trust, the emotional impact, financial fatigue, and the growing shift towards prescription treatment.
Julia Barcoe Thompson, Owner and Director, Face the Future, says:
<blockquote>
“Acne is one of the most misunderstood and emotionally charged skin conditions our customers come to us about at Face the Future. However, most of us still associate acne with being a teenage concern, when in reality it affects people well into adulthood and menopause.
Through our clinics and online consultations, we see the same pattern repeatedly: people feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and unsure who to trust and what to buy. Many have spent years cycling through products, actives, and the latest acne trends, often overloading and worsening their skin in the process.
This report was created to highlight the reality of acne in the UK today, but also to show where education and expert-led guidance can make a meaningful difference. As skincare educators, we believe acne deserves the same level of understanding, empathy, and care as any other skin concern.”
