53 here. It started when I was 13.... That makes 40 years of this.
I guess the key word here is never give up.
I am two weeks into Dan's recommended regimen plan, and added Clindamycin pledgets twice daily and Tretinoin topical in the morning. It really seems to be helping!
I plan to add Niacin 500mg. (niacinamide, vit.B3) and topical Niacinamide gel, based on posts here in the adult section. These niacin products seem to have great promise for many with adult skin problems.
Good luck to all,

I'm 42, had acne since I was 11. Been on anti depressants also. Never been married. It has been a major factor in my life. I'm glad I found this site. But a little too late. I am trying the niacin 500mg with the likas papaya soap and green cream. I really like the way the green cream feels on my skin. It has been a week but so far it stopped 2 cysts from getting big. 1 is completely gone and the other is being stubborn but not real big.

I am 26 now just turned 26 on the 4th of October. But in my high school pictures that I've seen recently my acne wasn't as big as they are now. But I also didn't wear as much makeup as I do now I guess. I didn't wear face makeup or at least I don't think I did. I do now though. But I feel like I just do to cover my makeup. LOL. I JUST DON'T KNOW!

Just turned 27, about one year of having acne. I never wore make-up before (save for graduations, parties, and social events i've attended applied by artists or my friends) My main beauty gear is just lipgloss, lipgloss, lipgloss and a big smile. I'm considering getting some make-up lessons from my friends soon.=) Cuz I'm not very good at it, and i want to atleast cover some leftover scars until they fade. I just know how to put on gloss!=)
