Has anyone here noticed an increase in acne once they hit 28+. My deep, blind, cystic "one-offs" have become some kind of chain gang. one grows, inflames, i kill it with my zit cream, then next day or same day another one nearby starts. i have not had a break from these evil things for so long i can't remember.
i read somewhere that 1 in 4 women over 30 experience this adult acne. feels like it's only my pimply self at this point.
my friend gave me a spare set of her 'proactiv' infomercial cream set. it works really well to kill them, but it's by no means a 'miracle cure'.
what the hell? i'm not on any hormonal contraceptives - it's all my own work! does anyone else have the pimples of doom or a cure that actually worked?
it is really quite depressing having to go to extraordinary lengths to hide them when i leave the house. oh, and i am not the typical oily skin type. i have dry, super-sensitive skin, but its top layer is extremely strong (hence the trapping of all this stuff under it). oil free moisturisers make my skin feel tight and crackly.
maybe some of you beauty therapist girls have some ideas?
