im 17 and i got acne.. normal or not?

Question

is it teen acne or adult acne? im almost 18. its starting to come on my face as acne.

well, a lot of sites say 18+ is adult acne, so i was just wondering?

most people i know got it a long time ago.. but i got it now. does this have any significance? does it mean anything? i do kind of consider myself in the middle/later with puberty & stuff (i didnt get a chest until the end of grade 10! haha) does this mean im just later then most teens?

and yes, its definitely sebum being produced ARGH. so much of it. grrr.

Answer 1

It's important to first understand acne so that you can properly treat it. It effects people of all ages (almost always in teens) and is not caused by poor hygiene, diet, or stress, but rather is the result of overactive hormones.

Arbonne has a great Clear Advantage line specifically designed to treat acne. The four step system includes a dietary supplement to support skin from the inside out that works to target troubled skin with vitamins, minerals and L-Lysine, an amino acid, wash, toner, and lotion. The wash is a deep-cleaning wash that unclogs pores, while keeping outbreaks under control with acne-fighting salicylic acid that prevents new blemishes, without drying your skin. The toner is blended with Alpha Hydroxy Acids to help balance and calm skin, removing excess oils leaving the skin clean, soothed, and refreshed. The oil-free lotion penetrates pores to combat blemish-causing bacteria, while soothing and clarifying skin.

All of Arbonne's products are pure, safe, and beneficial and formulated with natural botanicals. Arbonne's products do not contain alcohol, wax, dyes, chemicals, fragrances, acetone, or mineral oil that are known to cause irritation and dryness, so you can be sure that you're using a natural products with key ingredients for maximum benefit.

It's still teen acne. Yes, it's normal. I'm 17 going on 18 in July and I still have acne. You'll probably have it until you're about 19. I use a blackhead scrub and Avon Anew Clinical Micro-Exfoliant. Works great for me!

Answer 3

Go to a Dermatologist. They will probably prescribe a short-term dose of Antibiotics and some really good cream. You don't have to live with Acne these days. Talk to your parents. Maybe their General Family Doc can help you out. It's pretty simple, will work pretty fast and you'll be thrilled! Best Wishes, SarahJane

Answer 4

Acne is normal, and an indication that your body is experiencing hormonal changes.

Emprizone gel is what my own teenagers use, to get rid of their acne. All natural, and good to have on hand, for any topical use.

See links below to read about glyconutrients, as Emprizone is a glyconutrient gel.

While it took little less than two months for me to really see a difference, my acne, blackheads and whole lot of other skin problems I had such as eczema had completely cleared! It was totally amazing...

Answer 6

Normal TEEN acne. During puberty, your hormones go crazy and overproduce like mad. One of the results is an excess in a natural skin oil called sebum. Sebum normally helps moisturize and keep the skin from drying out. Unfortunately, if too much is produced, it clogs up your skin's glands that produce this sebum (commonly called oil glands) and lo and behold, you get a pimple!

Answer 7

normal yes
raw unpasteurized apple cider vinegar
heat a qt of water, add 3 tblspns vinegar, make a tent over the pot, cover your head with a towel, steam your face. then dab some vinegar on your skin to clean, do this process 2 more times, then squeeze the blackheads. mix 1/2 water, 1/2 vinegar, chilled, dab on face to close pores and tone skin....

as a skin care routine,
raw unpasturized apple cider vinegar..
the following 2 testimonials can be seen at http://www.earthclinic.com/cures/acne.ht...
Angelina O, has found that applying ACV topically to her face several times a day (4 or more times) has cured her of a "very bad complexion". She reports that she applies it straight and that while it burns her skin a bit, it still works like a miracle!

you can get it at the health food store, or in some super marktet health food sections. i use bragg vinegar..
good luck
Cheryl writes, "My daughter developed a case of moderate acne, and after trying a number of different things for over a year which helped very little or not at all, she started drinking 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar three times a day and applying it topically once at night. She has been acne free for two months. It took about three weeks to clear up."

to drink it, put it in honey and water, or apple juice--tastes like cider..cost is 5 dollars a qt at the healthfood store
