Many of us have battled acne, whether in our teenage years or as adults. For many women, adult acne proves especially challenging, as it's often linked to adolescence. In France alone, over 40% of adult women deal with adult acne. Accepting pimples at 30 can feel particularly tough—this is a time of empowerment, independence, and self-love for many. Daily self-acceptance amid breakouts is no easy task.
Dr. Poli, interviewed by Doctissimo, attributes the rise in affected women to cosmetics. "Despite advances in cosmetics, some products can promote acne onset or persistence. Anxiolytic use may tie to stress, a known acne trigger," he explains. With discipline, patience, and targeted treatments, acne often resolves. Yet, scars from popped pimples prolong the path to smooth skin. Discover effective solutions to fade acne marks from over-manipulation.
