Unless you have severe, widespread, and scarring acne, The Regimen is normally my suggestion for the most effective acne treatment.

Which means we are less prone to aging.

More things that are different between us & them. There are a few you should watch out for. i.e a tendency towards low HDL

Interestingly accutane has been linked to telomere shortening.

My face skin definitely doesn't look young and I'm in my 20s. :(

Could have to do with your skin care.  Soap, BP, etc.  

I'm 51 now and the last few years, suddenly people are telling me I have lovely skin. Apparently people don't see the scars or blotches as much as I do.  I also have several features that I've always had or had for years, that I think look like age, now that I am older. Or that won't age well.  Super thin skin/dark circles under my eyes. And my eye sockets are big and round making this a really prominent feature. I also have tiny acne scars on one side of my mouth right where the lines form around your mouth, which I think makes me look older & even less symetrical than I really am.  Still, I think I'm aging much better than most & have hopes for the future since I stopped interferring with my skin's ability to function with  soap a couple years ago.   But I did use BP & lots of harsh things for years when I was younger.
