However, are developed for juvenile acne and contains high concentrations of benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and other agents that can be excess drying and potentially irritating to adult skin. Adult skin may not tolerate persistent use of these agents and skin sensitive may become problematic.

Acne infections can stimulate skin production of hydrogen peroxide which generates volumes of free radicals. The chemical rebuilding that involved in healing infections and repairing the skin damage caused by infections, also generates volumes of free radicals. In this acne causes premature aging of the skin, just like the volumes
of free radicals caused by sun exposure. Control of acne is important to the appearance of the skin today, it is very important strategy to prevent the premature aging of the skin.
If the skin damage has already become a problem. Damage is determined by the concentration of benzoyl peroxide and the frequency of use. It has also been associated with increased risks of skin cancer. In 1995 the FDA issued warnings regarding the use of benzoyl peroxide and changed its status from safe to uncertain.

Causes of Adult Acne

There are a number of factors that may initiate adult acne. Stress can be a major factor, via the production of cortisol, a steroidal hormone that promotes acne. Coffee consumption, like stress, promotes the production of cortisol. Other issues may be involved, such as smoking, low consumption of free fatty acids, hormone supplement, etc. Achieve control of adult acne with Skintactix products and reduce those factors that may promote a recurrence of acne.
