{"df226ae8-fb69-4583-a72e-59db675487cd":"Why do I still have acne as an adult?","8c35ca6a-582e-4a50-8ba6-0df884b31d57":"<p>Although acne is most common in teenagers and young adults, it is not unusual to see it persist into the twenties, thirties and beyond, particularly in women. In clinic, I often see adult acne linked to hormonal fluctuations, stress, genetics and lifestyle factors. Adult skin also behaves differently from teenage skin. It is often more sensitive and reactive, which is why products that worked when you were younger may no longer be suitable. Adult acne often needs a more considered, skin-health focused approach rather than the harsh treatments traditionally used for teenage acne.</p>"}
