Any suggestions for adult acne? I never in my life until after I had my first child when I was 19.. I'm now 22 and for the past 3 years I've had horrible acne, leaving scars, and can't find anything that helps.. I always wash twice a day.. exfoliate regularly, moisturize.. I do peels once in a while.. I've been perscribed benzoyl products but that didn't help either..I tried taking zinc which slightly helped.. I cut out sugar and bad food from my diet and that doesn't seem to be helping much.. i IMG_4818.PNGIMG_4817.PNGget the worst of the acne on my forehead.. need suggestions!

I'm wondering how often you're exfoliating? I've heard that doing it too frequently can cause breakouts.

Usually every other day.. maybe I'll try doing it less

Yeah, I typically do it once or twice a week since my skin's pretty sensitive. Hopefully that works for you :)
