Question by Lacey: How can I tell the difference between teenage acne and adult acne?
Throughout my whole teen age years, I suffered moderate to bad acne. As I’ve gotten older it’s started clearing up, but now at 19, almost 20, I still get break outs. How can I tell when my regular teen age acne has become adult acne? If this is still just teenage acne, when will it stop!? Is it time to start using adult acne cleansers?

lol what the hell is the difference between them?
Bad teenage acne is often caused by hormones, whereas adult acne is caused by having either oily skin or not cleaning your face properly.
Seriously they don’t sell “adult acne cleansers” and “teenage acne cleansers”. I have no idea whats wrong with you.
Best answer? Lolol
You’re Acne Doesn’t have to do w/ age, if it did you’re acne would most likely be gone, I’ve met thousands of people that “used to have acne” and now their skin is just flawless and that Truly pisses me off cause when I was 12 my acne went from mild to severe(if that even fit the category) over night, even inch of skin I had on my face was COVERED by blemishes, and I’d pile on the foundation ever single day hoping it would just magically get u off my face and torture somebody else, the when I was 14 I got on trinessa, it’s a mild form of birth control that specializes in acne, for 4 or 5 months it didnt do anything and I continued to try every type of face cleanser out there, some would help for about a week then my skin would get worse, then around that 6 month period of using trinessa, IT WORKED, now my skin isn’t flawless at all but knowing that I have parts of actual skin showing and I can actually cover it w/o people saying my foundation is making it bad(which it doesn’t, the skin clearing foundation my neutregena is amazing and actually makes your skin clearer after u take off than before u but it on), but I have noticed, I went about 3 weeks without drinking soda and eating fried food and my skin almost got to that flawless point(minus the scars), then I started eating fried food again and broke out like crazy, so basically if you want that acne gone, use trinessa(side effects make u gain weight if u give in to cravings easily, I gained 15 pounds, no joke) don’t eat ANY fried food(which will make that 15 pounds u gained go away) and no soda, also stay away from lemonade and fruit punch unless theyre low in sugar, AKA just drink water!
Hopefully some of this helped(:
