When did your acne clear up?

In My Humble Opinion
1

At age 25, I was down to two noticable pimples per week, and maybe one serious zit every month.

At age 28, I still got one or two occasionally. At the time, it seemed to be grossly unfair… most everyone else had outgrown them.

I’m now age 30, and just realized that I just don’t get them anymore. (well, OK, I was reminded because I got one yesterday… but it was the first I’ve had this year) The change was very gradual. But thank Heaven, I’m glad I finally outgrew that phase.

Unfortunately, the next phase to grow out of is the “having hair” phase. :frowning:

So, when did you stop getting acne?

sigh

The rate I’m going?

Maybe when I’m 50. I’m currently 28, and I know it’s getting on to summer - my face is breaking out wicked bad again.

Acne is supposed to clear up?

The only change I’ve noticed in being pregnant is that my skin has gotten oilier. The zits are still the same. :frowning:

Never had any, thankfully. Must be low testosterone.

My facial acne started clearing up when I was about 18, and it was completely gone by the time I turned 22. I still get acne on my back, but it’s not as bad as when I was a teenager.

Hope not - I’ve never had acne either.

I’m 32 and still waiting!

Damn zits :mad:

My mom eventually threw up her hands and took Accutane —

AT AGE 45.

Things do not look good for me.

22 and for all intents and purposes, I’m good. I wish the best for those of you whose family history is not so promising.

I took the Roaccutane when I was 17. My acne wasn’t really bad before I was prescribed the drugs, but I wanted rid of it anyway.

I haven’t had any zits since. I’m 22.

11

My acne is starting to clear up. It’s still noticable, but not nearly as bad as it has been. I’m 19.

12

I’m 30 years old and still waiting. It’s not really bad acne but very annoying. Right now I have a pimple on my earlobe and under my bottom lip. Very painful.

13

I still get the odd plook now and then, but it seemed that the main thrust of my acne ended when I stopped using [insert famous British anti-acne product] when I was 18. Of course this could just have been co-incidence.

14

I never really had any… well, actually, I think I’ve had maybe a total of fifty pimples (on my face) my entire life.

On the other hand, though, my skin’s so dry that I start to disintegrate when I go swimming. sigh

I’m 45, and once a month I break out like a teenager. There are currently 5 annoying pimples. And I’ve run out of the Mary Kay acne stuff that works amazingly well.
