How adult acne differs from teenage acne
Acne is one of the most common skin diseases faced by both teenagers and adults. Despite the similarity of manifestations, there are important differences between teenage and adult acne that determine approaches to treatment and skin care.
Classification of acne
Acne is divided into several types depending on the age, severity and cause of occurrence.
Age classification includes newborn acne, teenage acne and adult acne.
By severity: there are mild, moderate and severe forms, each of which requires a different approach to therapy.
Causes of occurrence:teenage acne is more often associated with hormonal changes, while in adults, acne can be caused by stress, hormonal imbalances or improper skin care.
As Larisa Sergeevna Kruglova, Doctor of Medical Sciences and Professor, notes:
Features of acne products for teenagers
Care products for teenage skin prone to acne should take into account the characteristics of this age, such as increased activity of the sebaceous glands, sensitivity to external influences, and hormonal changes. The effectiveness of care directly depends on the correct choice of products that should not only eliminate acne symptoms, but also prevent their recurrence without damaging the skin.
As Larisa Sergeevna Kruglova, MD and professor, emphasizes:
"The determining factor in acne treatment is the degree of severity, and the medications used in adolescence and in adults are the same. Dermatocosmetic products are also universal for all ages, and the determining factor in their choice is the problems they are supposed to solve (oily skin, treatment of mild acne, moisturizing during drug therapy, photoprotection)."
Approach to teenage skin care
When choosing a care product, it is important to consider the skin type and the severity of acne. Products that gently cleanse the skin, regulate sebum production and prevent the appearance of new inflammations are suitable for teenagers. Librederm Laboratory has developed the Seracin line, which includes:
Cleansing gel— deeply cleanses pores without drying out the skin.
Deep cleansing lotion— helps keep pores clean, helps tighten them, and reduces the risk of inflammation.
Matifying cream— regulates sebum production, moisturizes and protects against the appearance of new acne.
These products help teenagers effectively fight acne, maintaining the health and beauty of the skin, which is especially important during periods of active growth and hormonal changes.
Composition: what to look for in cosmetics for a teenager
When choosing cosmetics for teenage skin, it is important to pay attention to the composition of the products to ensure maximum effectiveness of care and prevent the appearance of new breakouts. Teenage skin is especially sensitive to aggressive components, so products must be both effective and gentle.
Key active ingredients
Sulfur is a powerful antibacterial component that helps fight inflammation and reduces the activity of the sebaceous glands.
Zinc regulates sebum production, reducing oily shine and preventing the formation of new acne.
Niacinamide is a universal ingredient that soothes the skin, reduces inflammation and strengthens its barrier functions.
Azeloglycine - combines moisturizing and anti-inflammatory effects, which makes it ideal for the care of problematic teenage skin. In fact, it is a new generation of water-soluble azelaic acid.
What to avoid
Teenage skin needs special care, so it is important to avoid components that can dry out or irritate the skin. These are, first of all, aggressive alcohols and strong fragrances, which can cause a reaction and worsen the skin condition.
