Question : What is the best acne treatment for adult acne?
I am 32 years old and I have battled an acne problem since I was a teenager. At times it would be OK but then flare up again. For the past 4 years I have used Proactiv and although it helps, I still have flare ups. Has anyone tried any other products out there other than Proactiv and has had any success?

Hello. I just turned 32 yesterday! I read that tea tree oil and salycilic acid (use both if you can, sorry about spelling) acts simultaneously as ati-aging and acne treatment so DEFINATELY use those both or one of those and it really does help to brighten my 30′s dull skin. i have not purchased tea tree oil products yet but plan to get tt oil from body shop. i suffer from adult acne which is terrible. I also use a benzol perozide spot treatment at night if I have big ones for faster treatment. My toner over the years by clinique contained slicylic acid so that is good and i use clean and clear lotion under makeup , i think neutragena has a lotion with salycilic acid. ONe downside to SA is that it can produce burn spots on me, but most of them are not permanant

ADD: if you have oily skin and bad break outs, skip using moisturizer for as long as you can maybe only use it if you are putting makeup on
