adult acne may be attributed to hormonal changes. the most important thing is to wash your face twice a day with a gentle soap. there is no need to wash your face more than twice a day unless you are sweating profusely or have a very dirty job. salicylic acid is found in a number of acne products and this works to dissolve the sebaceous oils helping to remove any skin debris that is clogging your pores. rinse this off. find a very mild benzoyl peroxide cream something that is 2. 5% or less. this is applied directly to the skin at night to help unclog you pores as you sleep. try this every other night at first.
