Somehow those pesky pimples will make their way to our face at the worst locations such as the middle of the nose, forehead and chin and timing, imagine a week before Valentine’s Day! But fret not, Kiehl’s just released the Dermatologist Solutions Breakout Control Targeted Blemish Spot Treatment that’s gentle, fast-acting and is clinically demonstrated to reduce the appearance of breakouts and blemishes in as little as 24 hours, especially for adult acne.
More common amongst women, studies show that adult acne concerns increased by 61% for women in their thirties, and 60% for women in their forties between 2005 and 2013. And 80% of adult acne is persistent from teenage years, while 20% of adult acne is late-onset and appears after age 25. Regardless of age, acne is caused by 4 common factors:
- Hormonal Influences (or imbalances)
- Blockage of oil or sebum flowing through the skin
- Bacteria
- Inflammation
Adult acne tends to be due to inflammation and hormonal dysregulation, which often results in papules, pustules, and cysts located along the jaw line and on the cheeks, known as the U-zone. Adult acne can also have an increased rate of skin discolouration, since the process of clearing post-inflammatory marks slows down as we age.
Did you know? Studies have revealed that 61% of adults with acne report having sensitive skin and 72% of adults with acne report having dry skin.
To address this need, Kiehl’s Chemists specifically formulated the Dermatologist Solutions Breakout Control Spot Treatment to help reduce the appearance of acne on adult and ageing skin. With 10% Sulfur and Vitamin B3, the formula is fast acting, blends evenly and offers an effective yet gentle solution to blemishes.
“We selected Sulfur for our formula because it works to diminish the size of acne lesions without irritating the surrounding skin on adults, who tend to have a drier, more sensitive profile than adolescents,” noted Dr. Geoff Genesky, Head of Kiehl’s Skincare Laboratory. “We were also able to optimize the formula to avoid any odour associated with Sulfur and to ensure that it absorbs quickly to act fast on skin. We also utilized Vitamin B3 in order to soothe skin and to help prevent it from feeling oily. When used day or night, the formula begins to reduce the appearance of breakouts in 24 hours while respecting the surrounding skin area.”
Breakout Control Blemish Treatment Facial Lotion
If acne is still persistent all over your face, this treatment facial lotion will amp up the ammo to reduce the acne. It helps to reduce dullness, rough texture and with 1.5% Salicylic Acid and Vitamin B3, the formula evens out your skin tone and reduces the visible marks on your skin caused by acne too. While the Salicylic and Lipo Hydroxy Acids in the treatment help remove surface dead skin cells that trap oil to reduce acne lesions and, Aloe and Vitamin B3 help to calm the complexion and brighten skin.
