No shortcuts to acne-free skin

MANILA, Philippines - There are many causes of acne and nobody is immune. About 90 percent of teens develop acne symptoms, lasting an average of seven to eight years while for women, acne breakouts can start as late as their 30s, and adult acne can persist for up to 20 years. It’s estimated that one in four adults between the ages of 25 and 44 experiences facial breakouts during this time. In fact, nearly half of all adult women experience mild to moderate acne blemishes.

Admittedly, there are still no acne cures, with or without a prescription. The secret is daily acne prevention and early treatment to stop its formation before it becomes visible facial blemishes, and help avoid permanent scars. A daily acne care system should also be a regular regimen, just like brushing your teeth to prevent cavities, to stop new ones from forming.
