🔎 1. Understanding adult acne

Unlike teenage acne, which is often linked to overproduction of sebum and clogged pores, adult acne is generally more inflammatory 🔥, located on the lower face (jaw, chin).

Common causes:

• Hormonal imbalances (menstrual cycle, pregnancy, contraception, PCOS).

• Chronic stress → promotes the production of cortisol.

• Lack of sleep 😴 → disrupted skin regeneration.

• A diet rich in fast sugars and dairy products 🥛.

• Bad cosmetic habits (products that are too harsh).

Result: painful red bumps, microcysts, persistent marks.

🚫 2. Common mistakes to avoid

Many people worsen their acne through bad habits.

• Harsh cleansers 🧼: skin that feels tight after washing is skin that has been attacked → it produces even more sebum.

• Excessive exfoliation ✨: too many scrubs weaken the skin barrier → inflammation.

• Not moisturizing your skin 💧: a common mistake! Dehydrated skin compensates by producing more sebum.

• Popping pimples 🙅♀️: increases the risk of scarring and hyperpigmentation.

🌿 3. K-Beauty's star ingredients for fighting acne

Korean cosmetics focus on natural and technological active ingredients that respect the skin:

• Salicylic acid (BHA) 🧪: penetrates pores and dissolves excess sebum.

• Centella Asiatica (Cica) 🌱: reduces redness, soothes inflammation.

• Niacinamide ✨: regulates sebum, tightens pores, reduces marks.

• Propolis 🍯: antibacterial, healing.

• Green tea extracts 🍵: ​​antioxidant, purifying.

• Hyaluronic acid 💦: hydrates without being greasy.
